I see that ffmpeg-0.6.3 from ffmpeg.org also doesn't have av_register_protocol2, I guess the patch series or some variant of it was applied there too. (And the #if FF_API_OLD_AVIO isn't there, so working around the breakage is not as simple as that, unfortunately.) I can't check the history because I can't find the git.ffmpeg.org tree, even ffmpeg.org points to git.videolan.org which is actually libav!? git.ffmpeg.org shows me only the front page. (Might this be related to MPlayer git being down as per http://mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html ? Or is this an effect of the fork?) I also looked at libav-0.6.2 from libav.org (They don't seem to have a 0.6.3 with the security fixes yet. Their 0.6.2 is from March, so it doesn't have them.) and the code there looks the same as in ffmpeg-0.6.3, av_register_protocol2 removed completely. Why they made that kind of incompatible changes in a stable branch (and without a soname bump at that), I don't know! BTW, which of the forks are we going to ship moving on from now? FFmpeg or Videolan Libav? Is it too early to tell? Kevin Kofler
