[mythtv-users] Does your mythbackend have libx264 support compiled-in?

[George Mari]

I'm exploring the HTTP Live Streaming server built-in to mythbackend: 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming_Server

At that wiki page, it states that... "Your backend must have been 
compiled with "--enable-libx264 and --enable-libmp3lame" to support the 
H.264 video and MP3 audio used in the HLS streams generated by MythTV 
v0.25. Without those, you'll never get anything transcoded."

Ok since I am not getting any output when trying to use the live 
streams, I thought I should confirm that libx264 and libmp3lame support 
is actually compiled in to my copy of mythbackend:


[code][user at host ~]$ mythbackend --version

[/code]

I see libmp3lame in that output, but no libx264.  But according the 
folks at RPMFusion whose packages I use, the mythbackend rpm they build 
is indeed built with libx264 support.

If you have a minute, can you run "mythbackend --version" on your MythTV 
server, and paste the contents back here?  It would be helpful to see 
the output from  some other installations, especially to know what 
platform and packager (or self-compiled?) is being used.

Thanks!
