Encoder (codec theora) not found for output stream #0:0

Of course if Theora is supported by the build then a Theora video stream will be outputted (90k frame rate in this case).

Possibly related to #4442 since I assume the cover art mechanics would be similar:

I wrote a patch a couple years ago implementing FLAC's METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE structure: https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2013-August/146869.html

As discussed in that thread, it's been on hold until a proper AVPacketList API is implemented in order to avoid duplicating code, but it could nonetheless be committed as is.
Feel free to resurrect that thread to see what's people opinion in the matter.

After that it would be a matter of sharing that code so the Ogg muxer can also make use of it.

It would be really useful if somebody could revive this patch.

Summary: Support writing album cover art in ogg / opusSupport writing album cover art image embedded in ogg / opus metadata

Hello,

I am also interested in this request resolution.

Here is a patch someone pointed to me:

https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/list/?series=7314

It allows ffmpeg to embed an image into an ogg container as a metadata field containing binary data, just like opusenc --picture mycover.jpg does. This follows the FLAC specification.

Please can a developer merge this to mainstream if the code is OK?

Cheers,
Justin

PS: here is a question on SE describing the need

+1 for this one. It would be really nice for my project. Looking forward for the fix.

It really sucks this has been an issue for a decade and there's been a solution for better than a year and it hasn't been implemented.

comment:11 by mitar, 4 months ago

Which solution has there been?

How long is this going to take? Instead of trolling on IRC and arguing endlessly on the ML, get into the code and implement it!
