Testing the changes

• I tested the changes in this PR: YES

main testing has been vaapi in Firefox Nightly and enc/dec in Shotcut on Intel A770

New package

• This new package conforms to the package requirements: YES

Local build testing

• I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64

Discussion

Continuation of #36315

libavresample is deprecated, but marked as a dependency when trying to build other packages and install ffmpeg(6). I think the right way to handle this is make a meta package and the add to removals?

Commit naming / misc

Commits are 'dirty' right now, running with gstreamer 1.22.1 updates and Intel OpenCL. This will also make intel packages pr obsolete. (see Requirements below)

Maintainer for previous ffmpeg(4) was orphaned, I can put my name in there if that matters, though I don't exactly see myself keeping up on ffmpeg.

This updates QT5 which looks like it is usually hosted by Johnny. Not sure if there's any reason to stay there or these sources are fine. Using qt5.15.11 now, revbumps and some patches.

STILL FFMPEG4

These are a mix of emulators, games and/or older packages.

• kodi (doesn't build, on version 19 - arch pkgbuild updated jul 4th 2024, looks like version 21 and ffmpeg6)
• tvheadend (download page recommends using 4.3 which compiles fine, 4.4 eta is Q1 2024)
• idjc (0.9.8 compiles, remove python3.10 patch, needs makedepends libebur128-devel and libshout-idjc 2.4.6 with '-r1' for distfile - idjc: update to 0.9.8, libshout-idjc: update to 2.4.6+1 #48944)
• flowblade/mlt - flowblade 2.12.0.2 with mlt7-python3 can 'render' videos with cpu and gpu - flowblade: update to 2.12.0.2, force X11 #47195 Flowblade update to 2.16.3 #50385)
• mediastreamer (linphone links are dead, changed to github belladonne. 5.3.63 does not use ffmepg5+ still)
• vlc (vlc4 will support ffmpeg5, there's a patch to build 3.x with ffmpeg5 but it will lack vaapi)
• olive (has been in alpha since 2020, seems they do nightly builds and appimages)
• moc
• attract (2.7 builds)
• audacity ("-Daudacity_use_midi=off" seems to be ignored audacity/audacity#2305 and https://sourceforge.net/p/portmedia/wiki/portsmf/ is 'beta') (updated to 3.x, compiles with ffmpeg6)
• deadbeef (1.9.6 may work but requires libdispatch from apple) 1.9.6 works
• ccextractor (master patches)
• vice (3.8 compiles, needs makedepends libcurl-devel) ty yosh
• synfig (mlt) (work with mlt7, bump synfigstudio)
• ssr (patches)
• spek-alternative (replace with spek-x)
• ppsspp (1.17.1 is out, but there's 5+ distfiles that are all git commits) (minor patch)
• libextractor (1.13 compiles, remove exiv2 patch) (as yosh pointed out, 1.13 just removes ffmpeg bits)
• hedgewars (patch for 6 Add support for ffmpeg 6.0 hedgewars/hw#74)
• ffmpegthumbnailer (patches for moviedecoder.xxx files)
• ffmpegthumbs (latest compiles)
• omxplayer (package removed, deprecated in favor of vlc)
• osg (OpenSceneGraph plus xine-lib) (patches from osg issue build with ffmpeg6, ffmpeg5.patch.txt) used ffmpeg6 patch
• qtav (fork has ffmpeg 5 patch - https://github.com/cmguo/QtAV) qtav was absorbed by digikam, which is the only user https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270213

HAVE NOT BUILT YET

• omxplayer (rpi only? ffmpeg4) (removed)
• kodi (big, but ffmpeg4)

UPDATED (for ffmpeg6)

• blender: update to 3.5.1 will be revbump with blender: update to 3.5.1. #43992
• unpaper: update to 7.0.0.
• guvcview: update to 2.0.8.
• qt5: update to 5.15.8 updated by another PR to 5.15.11
• qt5-webengine: update to 5.18.15 updated by another PR to 5.15.16 (some patching for ffmpeg build)
• shiboken2: revbump for qt5.15.8 (patch) updated by another PR to 5.15.10
• python3-pyside2: update to 5.15.8 (patch) updated by another PR to 5.15.10
• New package: spex-x replaces spek-alternative for ffmpeg-6.0

Requirements

• gstreamer 1.22.2 - a few packages use ffmpeg-devel and require a revbump

• Intel Packages Intel Packages v2 - ffmpeg4 uses different libraries than 6 (libmfx / Intel-MediaSDK vs only oneVPL that Intel is moving to), both are included here. Using replacement oneVPL from OBS update.

• shotcut 23.05.14

• nv-codec-header: update to 12.0.16.1. #44781 will remove from this PR 939a712 nv-codec-headers updated but breaks 6.0.1 and 4.4.4

xlint questions

============ qt5 ===============
qt5:35: verify python_version and remove "#unverified"
qt5:529: use <pkgname>-doc subpackage for documentation

what counts as 'verified' for python?

does doc pkg need changed? looks like a separate package (still on 5.15.2 and out of sync with current qt5 5.15.7)

edit: per irc i was told docs is nothing to worry about rn. the python2 vs 3 thing i guess i can't verify because i don't use any qt scripts for that

[paper42]

are the commits for a blender update, gstreamer and new intel packages really necessary for this PR? If not, please drop them. If yes and they could be merged before merging this PR, please split them to a separate PR and mention that it should be merged before this PR in this PR's description.

[zlice]

Intel OpenCL commits removed

blender - uses ffmpeg-devel, added to update list

gstreamer - added to 'Requirements' section and only revbumped the appropriate packages

Intel Packages - added to 'Requirements'

[zlice]

ICU updated, and many other things since my last full build test. building fine for now

[yoshiyoshyosh]

we can replace spek-alternative with spek-x, a more actively maintained fork that supports ffmpeg6. the original spek has also become maintained again, but it claims to only support up to ffmpeg 5.1.

Blocked by #46172

Already quite a few updates to sift through and I don't feel comfortable trying until I know I can update mesa.

Sup, 23.1.8 should build, but it doesn't work because 32-bit subpackage problem. i still don't know how to solve this issue.
EDIT: on my personal way, i'm currently running mesa 23.2.1 on my void-install, no issues whatsoever.

[zlice]

Got 64/32bit x86 building again. tyvm spid

it's not ready yet, i believe there is an issue with arm and aarch64 archs.
Mesa still can't be updated atm.

Edit, if i'm lucky, i might get it ready for tonight, but nothing's set in the stone.

[SpidFightFR]

see here: #46674

[classabbyamp]

ok, let's rebase and split this into batches of ~10-30 (depending on the size of the packages)

[zlice]

will do, probably later tonight. ill probably sort by stuff i use reguarly that has been working fine with 6, version update packages separately(?), then by w/e groups that make sense. hold on the big electron/gtk/qt stuff like you said and wait for those to update and switch ffmpeg.

[classabbyamp]

sounds good to me, no rush too

[classabbyamp]

by my reckoning, this is all that's left in this PR:

• New package: vpl-gpu-rt-24.2.5 - New package: vpl-gpu-rt-24.2.5 #51133
• python3-pyside2: revbump for qt5-5.15.11 and shiboken2: revbump for qt5-5.15.11 - should be their own PR, not sure why they're in here
• audacity: update to 3.5.1 - audacity: update to 3.5.1. Update audacity and deps #50047 or audacity: update to 3.6.1 #51407

Thus, this can be closed now.

other packages I see in the repos still on ffmpeg4:

• electron19
• electron24
• qt5
• qt5-webengine
• qt6-pdf
• qt6-multimedia
• mediastreamer
• moc
• mpv-mpris
• olive
• opencv
• qtox
• tvheadend
• vlc

[zlice]

sounds right

pyside/shiboken was due to the original having ffmpeg6 as main and rebuilding qt i think. will take another look at those and make a pr if theyre still not compiling currently.

tvheadend still no 4.4 release, the 4.3 'dev' works. electron and qt should be the only things left then. others are on ffmpeg4 until question-marks

thanks for all the assistance abby

made a tracking issue: #51522

can you make a PR for the qt5-related patches?
