Support for Speex: A Free Codec For Free Speech

divingmule · 2012-05-09 17:18

Hi, is there any reason why Speex codec isn't supported? http://www.speex.org/ From my research, you can compile ffmpeg with --enable-libspeex.

I need speex as well. Please implement it, if you can

Reading a little, I think the speex codec isn't used anymore nowadays. It is replaced by: http://opus-codec.org/

But it would be awesome if XBMC would support video calling, a Skype-like Addon. All related XBMC projects didn't take off and ended in lots of user requests without the actual work be done.

+1 Very common for XSplit broadcasters to use Justin.tv/Twitch.tv.

I think its the ffmpeg being bundled by xbmc which needs to enabled speex support. By default, speex is disabled, so the xbmc/ffmpeg team has to add "--enable-speex" option when they are generating the config file for the ffmpeg. Right now, I am compiling my own xbmc on linux and I have hacked the configure file where I have removed "enabled speex && " from the line where it checks for speex. I have yet to test it though, hopefully today. WIll update this thread.
