Builds of ffDiaporama 2.2 for Ubuntu 16.04.

This repository contains builds / packages of ffDiaporama 2.2 (the latest development version) for Ubuntu 16.04, as well as the patched sources used to build them.

Packages:

• ffdiaporama-data_2.2-1_i386.deb. This package contains the data files needed by ffDiaporama. Install this first.

• ffdiaporama_2.2-20160801-1_i386.deb The main ffDiaporama package.

• 64-bit builds (not by me) can be found here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=229333&p=1213312&hilit=ffdiaporama#p1213146

If you want to use these packages, just install them and you'll be good to go. Otherwise, you can compile from source:

Compiling from source:

Either clone this repository (the source here is already patched), or download the upstream 2.2 sources from the ffDiaporama website, apply the FFmpeg 3.0 patch from here and modify the makefile as per this forum thread.

• Install the necessary dependencies for compiling :

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install libqt5multimedia5-plugins libtag1-dev libssh-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libcurlpp-dev libcurlpp0 libqgsttools-p1 libqt5multimediaquick-p5 qtmultimedia5-dev build-essential libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev libavresample-dev libexiv2-dev libflac-dev libswscale-dev qt5-image-formats-plugins qt5-qmake libqt5quickwidgets5 libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools qttools5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5help5 libqt5sql5-sqlite
  

• Compile (in the ffDiaporama sources directory):

    qmake ffDiaporama.pro /PREFIX=/usr
    make
  

• Installation:

    sudo make install
  

For the resources (ffDiaporama_rsc):

    qmake ffDiaporama_rsc.pro /PREFIX=/usr
    make install

And you should have a working ffDiaporama !

Notes (read before using):

• These are not official builds !

• There's a few bugs, notably:

  • The preview in the application plays a bit too fast, but it's fine in the final rendered video

  • Video rendering somethimes hangs at the end if the audio / music is shorter than the video duration (Possibly only when using .wav files for music / audio)

  • My packages have more dependencies than the program actually needs (most notably some -dev packages), I'll fix this at some point when I have time.

• Both the packages and the tarball work for me on a fresh install.
