I upgraded from 5.0rc12a to 5.0.5 today.  I have successfully re-installed pretty much everything I need using Control Panel.  However, I've run into a problem with Airvideo.  It installs, configures, and looks like it runs properly.  But when I try to play a video using my iphone or ipad it just lists the video as "invalid".  It doesn't give me any conversion options like it used to.  I had airvideo 1.3 work fine before but v1.4 is giving me this trouble.

 

Any pointers?

So I have run debugger and found the following "error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.125"  google that and found this link:  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20049.55;wap2

 

I have run the command  "ldd /usr/local/bin/avconv" resulting in the following:

 

root@Tower:/usr/local/bin# ldd /usr/local/bin/avconv

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x4001f000)

        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x4036c000)

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

 

Notice " libx264.so.125 => not found"  Following instructions in the above link to install x264-snaphot.... yields the following:

 

 

root@Tower:/usr/local/bin# installpkg /boot/packages/x264-snapshot-20120727-2245-stable-i486-rj.tgz

Verifying package x264-snapshot-20120727-2245-stable-i486-rj.tgz.

 

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

Unable to install /boot/packages/x264-snapshot-20120727-2245-stable-i486-rj.tgz:  tar archive is corrupt (tar returned error code 2)

 

So now my question is how do I get a good copy of x264-snapshot-20120727-2245-stable-i486-rj.tgz?

 

 

So I fixed this myself.  I realized I had a copy of the x264-snapshot-20120727-2245-stable-i486-rj.tgz file in the backup I made of my falsh drive before I upgraded.  So I uninstalled airvideo plugin, copied the old x264.... file into /boot/packages, rebooted, reinstalled the airvideo plugin from "control panel" and it now works.  I might have been able to just delete the bad x26x.... file and re-installed.  anyway, gonna mark this solved.
