Hi,
FFmpeg 2.8 is now sitting in ClearOS7 contribs-repo ready to be used by everyone who would like.

I have also build it for ClearOS 6 and tested it together with Serviio. However, before releasing it to the public in ClearOS 6, I would very much like if some Plex "poweruser" could test FFmpeg 2.8 together with Plex and make sure that nothing is broken.

Do this in a "test-environment" of yours:

As root, create a link to a new repo (This repo is new and it is in this repo everything(?) from now on ends up when building in the new Koji system that belongs to ClearOS):

Create a new file on your system:
Location: /etc/yum.repo.d/
Filename: Anything you like, but it needs to end with ".repo". Lets say you call it clearos-koji.repo

File content:
[clearos-koji]
name=ClearOS $releasever - $basearch - Contribs
#baseurl=http://mirror.clearos.com/clearos/testing/$releasever/contribs/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.clearos.com/clearos/mirrorlist/clearos-testing-contribs-$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-ClearOS-$releasever

This repo is using compression, something that ClearOS 6 yum does not comes enabled with by default, so you need to install this package:
yum install pyliblzma --enablerepo=clearos-epel

After these steps, since you already have Plex and FFmpeg installed, a simple update (with the new repo temporarily enabled) should do update FFmpeg for you:
yum update --enablerepo=clearos-koji


1. Please note if something does not update as it should, report any problems here.
2. Please test by transcoding & playing local files with Plex, report any problems here.

Regards,
Fred
