FFmpeg update. XP: static shared libfdk-aac VISTAx86: static shared libfdk-aac

It is not NT 6.0 incompatible code as otherwise it wouldn't work no matter which compiler was used. This is likely a compiler issue so for now GCC 15 will be more reliable. The GCC 16 compiler hasn't been changed since the previous working build so I haven't been able to isolate the root cause yet. I will continue looking into it.

@VistaLover I reversed this commit which got partial functionality but GCC 16 is still problematic for 32-bit builds. Here is a smaller build using GCC 15 for you to try. https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-8.2-2278-a09be9b91e-static-VISTAx86.7z

There are new Vista builds linked in the previous post. If you can let me know if ffplay is working for you.

@VistaLover Thank you for reporting the problem. I will investigate and make new builds.

For the time being I am trying to avoid going back to a full build which may contain many libraries that nobody uses. It will expand as fixes and requests are added to it. Here is a build for you to test with added support for https. The next release can include it in all builds. https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-8.2-2237-b4b30ff8fd-win32-shared-xpmod-P4.7z

FFmpeg update. XP: static shared libfdk-aac VISTAx86: static shared libfdk-aac The following static links will always match the latest uploaded XP archives: https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-win32-XP-static-latest.7z https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-win32-XP-shared-latest.7z

This should have the fix and it will be included in the next release as well. https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-8.2-2155-1836ef9684-win32-static-xpmod-P4.7z

I can't reproduce the problem. I downloaded the same video source and assets as yours and it played with my ffplay version 8.2-1568-b355200263-win32-shared. Here is a new basic static build for you to test to see if the problem persists. With the next release both static and shared builds will match, so ffplay will be in both. https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-8.2-2129-0dac41d2e5-win32-static-xpmod-P4.7z

The codecs shown by VLC should be fine. I'm wondering about the format of the thumbnail you added. Maybe an image format that I need to add support for?

You must be trying to play a format that doesn't have a demuxer and/or decoder built-in. The current builds are scaled down to basic so the avcodec is naturally much smaller, with support for fewer codecs. If you let me know what you are trying to play I can try to add the necessary demuxer/decoder. Also, the current builds have no cryptography library.

I don't have the space to leave all previous builds in place. I could do something like this: https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-win32-XP-shared-latest.7z https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-win32-XP-static-latest.7z Two additional archives with a static name that would always match the latest uploaded version.

openssl-3.6.3-x64-dll.7z

It is proving somewhat difficult to find a configuration that satisfies everyone. I have added a shared XP build that includes ffplay in the previous post.

Replaced the XP build in the previous link. Added zlib to support png. Added libxml2 as suggested by @VistaLover.
