Upgraded, advanced or not normally available multimedia packages
for Trusty*Please note that if using this ppa I would *not* try
upgrading to 14.10/15.04, ect. Do a fresh install instead. The
intent here is just for users wishing to stay on 14.04*If upgrading
releases anyway use ppa-purge *First* -sudo ppa-purge
ppa:mc3man/trusty-mediaAlso note that using this ppa then disabling
may cause issue for installing i386 packages like used by wine. So
once enabled leave enabled or purge before removing.Additionally if
using apt-get * sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will be needed* at
times.(pay attention). Otherwise package managers may be ok.So
typically -sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-mediasudo
apt-get updatesudo apt-get dist-upgradeA few
notes:gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg - needed for some apps that still use
gstreamer-0.10 & also provides h.264 in html5 decoding for
firefox < 30.Note that Firefox 30 will support h.264 in html5
thru gstreamer1.0-libav & should be available soonA standalone
ppa is here for gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

gstreamer-vaapi, now works ok...Totem+grilo - it's quite possible
this & RB+grilo will show in 14.04 by first point release, if
so will probably remove. Also note some plugins work well, some
don't at all, bit of a messrhythmbox+grilo - needs to be enabled in
rhythmbox > tools > pluginsPlus install grilo-plugins if not
alreadympv - described here, add. info
linkshttps://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/mpv-testsThe mpv build
in this ppa uses quvi0.9, the above linked ppa quvi0.4For vaapi I'd
use ---vo=opengl-hq --hwdec=vaapi ( or --vo=opengl for some?As
--vo=vaapi can cause tearing in fullscreen*Note* - Osc config
options now go into ~/.mpv/lua-settings/osc.configrefer to manpage
or pdf in /usr/share/doc/mpvIf this is a new install of mpv setting
are in ~/.config/mpvmplayer - described here, note mencoder is not
inc. & likely will not be, you may be able to use repo

10 bit x264 encoding with this ppa's libx264, default is 8For 10
bit preload the 10 bit .so first in terminal, eg.,export
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit/libx264.so.142orexport

has fdkaac encoding enabledyasm -has been patched to improve
compiling x265devede -can use either avconv or ffmpeg from here1st
choice for previewer is mplayer (version here is bestK9copy -Mainly
for ripping, as far as encoding there are better apps. If inclined
to use for encoding then use mencoder as ffmpeg support is quite
limitedFor rhythmbox users a wide range of plugins can be found
