img_resample() is used unconditionally

Description

Today, FFmpeg builds use either img_resample() functions, either libswscale. master has been updated to be able to use both (more or less successfully) but bugfix still relies on img_resample() being available, with no alternative.

Thus it is impossible to build the ffmpeg plugin if your ffmpeg library has been built with libswscale.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.

Changing 0.8.6-bugfix over to using libswscale is a lot of work. And as you indicated it sort of works now in 0.9.0-test* versions, which obviously means there are some corner cases left to be fixed.

As you know 0.8.6-bugfix is supposed to be our stable release. The consequence of that is that it is stuck with ffmpeg img_* functions (and not libswscale).

The VideoLAN team has entered the test cycle for 0.9.0-git which will result in a stable vlc version that uses libswscale instead of img_*() functions. In due time this situation will have resolved itself with the release of vlc-0.9.0 stable. Thus this issue won't be fixed in 0.8.6-bugfix.
