Unknown input format: 'decklink' with decklink headers on Windows10

[Paul Pacifico]

Hi,

Since ffmpeg 3.3 --enable-decklink is not available on zeranoe ffmpeg static builds.

I've build static ffmpeg 3.3.2 on osx without any problems, but on windows i try to compile ffmpeg 3.3.2 using MinGW64 with the followings headers :

• DeckLinkAPI.h
• DeckLinkAPI_i.c
• DeckLinkAPIVersion.h

Decklink SDK is 10.9.3, headers created with widl.exe from .idl files.

configure options :

./configure --prefix=/mingw64 --extra-cflags=-I/mingw64/include --extra-ldflags=-L/mingw64/lib --enable-nonfree --enable-decklink --enable-libfreetype --enable-filter=drawtext --extra-version=static --extra-cflags=--static --enable-static --disable-debug --disable-shared --disable-ffplay --disable-ffprobe --disable-ffserver --disable-doc --disable-indev=qtkit --enable-avfilter --enable-small --enable-filters

command :

ffmpeg.exe -f decklink -list_devices 1 -i dummy

I get this error :

Unknown input format: 'decklink'

if you have any solutions.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

Paul.

Missing log.
Run ffmpeg.exe -devices and paste the output, at least.

You should generally verify after running configure if decklink was actually enabled. You can check config.log for any related failures, if it is not.

config.log does not show failure on decklink...

[RiCON]

You need to --enable-pthreads. 3.3.2 doesn't include ​http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=9e86a61870c1652cdcc6a34646aee40d973ba23b which removed pthread dependency on decklink so it's silently disabled using the default w32threads.

[Paul Pacifico]

Thank you so much !

works perftectly with --disable-w32threads

you made my day !
