Compiled VLC - libmatroska missing

Post by OscarTalks »

I was experimenting with compiling VLC 3.0.11 from source and managed to build it, but in testing I found that some audio formats (opus) would not play in .mkv and .webm containers.

Looking into it I found that although libebml is present in FossaPup64, libmatroska is not included. Normally these 2 go together for handling these types of containers. Adding libmatroska-dev and libmatroska6v5 via PPM to the build environment fixed the problem when I re-compiled.
Not sure if this could (or should) be addressed as a fossapup update, but thought I would mention it for anyone interested.
I have uploaded a build for testing (with the lib included in the package) and posted about it in the Multimeda section here:-
