Hi,

tupitube doesn't build with ffmpeg >= 5.0 on Mageia Cauldron, there are some build error like:

main.cpp:46:45: error: invalid conversion from 'const AVOutputFormat*' to 'AVOutputFormat*' [-fpermissive] 46 | AVOutputFormat *format = av_guess_format("ffh264", NULL, NULL); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | const AVOutputFormat* main.cpp:56:42: error: invalid conversion from 'const AVCodec*' to 'AVCodec*' [-fpermissive] 56 | AVCodec *codec = avcodec_find_encoder(stream->codecpar->codec_id); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | const AVCodec* make: *** [Makefile:379: main.o] Error 1 tupaudiomixer.cpp: In member function 'int TupAudioMixer::openInputFile(const char*)': tupaudiomixer.cpp:131:45: error: invalid conversion from 'const AVCodec*' to 'AVCodec*' [-fpermissive] 131 | if (!(input_codec = avcodec_find_decoder(audioCodecID))) { | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | const AVCodec* tupaudiomixer.cpp: In member function 'void TupAudioMixer::setCodecContextParameters()': tupaudiomixer.cpp:197:40: warning: 'AVCodecContext::channel_layout' is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations] 197 | if (!inputCodecContextList[i]->channel_layout) | tupaudiomixer.cpp: In member function 'int TupAudioMixer::openOutputFile(const char*, AVCodecContext*)': tupaudiomixer.cpp:527:57: error: invalid conversion from 'const AVOutputFormat*' to 'AVOutputFormat*' [-fpermissive] 527 | AVOutputFormat *outputFormat = outputFormatContext->oformat; | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~ | | | const AVOutputFormat* tupaudiomixer.cpp:531:45: error: invalid conversion from 'const AVCodec*' to 'AVCodec*' [-fpermissive] 531 | if (!(outputCodec = avcodec_find_encoder(audioCodecID))) { | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | const AVCodec* tupaudiomixer.cpp: In member function 'int TupAudioMixer::decodeAudioFrame(AVFrame*, AVFormatContext*, AVCodecContext*, int*, int*)': tupaudiomixer.cpp:683:18: error: 'avcodec_decode_audio4' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'avcodec_decode_subtitle2'? 683 | if ((error = avcodec_decode_audio4(inputCodecContext, frame, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | avcodec_decode_subtitle2 make[4]: *** [Makefile:458: .obj/tupaudiomixer.o] Error 1

Hi,
I just want you to know that the TupiTube source code requires a lot of refactoring and updating, including the Qt libraries and other dependencies like the FFmpeg latest version. This process will take several months, so for now, a workaround is using FFmpeg version 4.4. This is the config parameters I use to compile it:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg --enable-shared --disable-doc --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-ffplay --enable-sdl2 --enable-libmp3lame make >& log.txt

If you have additional questions about the compilation process, please let me know.
Regards,

Impossible to use a very old ffmpeg version in a stable distribution, we do not have it and we do not want to maintain some ffmpeg package version.

I got it. It will take a while to upgrade the code depending on the FFmpeg package from my side, but I expect to notify you as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
