This goes quite a lot into libtheora internals. Would you please close the bug and report it to mplayer, and if they confirm it's a Theora problem then report it directly to theora developers? Also, does totem (which is included in Fedora Core, unlike mplayer) work? Thanks Err, no, when I started filing the bug report, I wasn't sure yet. By the time I submitted it, it was obvious that libtheora *had* indeed undergone an incompatible ABI change without bumping up the SONAME, and that is the bug. Totem was rebuilt with the new libtheora, so it does work. The problem is exactly that, if you mean to require programs to be rebuilt to work with the new ABI, you have to change the SONAME of the library, or at least provide compat symbols in it that enable programs linked with the old library ABI to still work. Not really a Fedora problem though. This should be moved to upstream and this bug referenced. Chances are though that it is too late for us to bump sonames in FC-5. |
