Hi gents,

i was trying to build tvheadend 4.1.x with transcoding enabled.

So after hours and days of searching for what i should do before i do it, i've reached this post

https://tvheadend.org/d/2245-tutorial-installing-codecs-and-tvheadend-3-9-with-transcoding

but i'm working on ubuntu 15.04 "vivid" also no builds are available yet, so i've used Autobuild.sh -t trusty-amd64, when compiling from source.

everything looking good, and to be honest by building in this way you'll be able to get all the transcoding features in tvheadend web panel.

then i wanted to build it again so,
i've tried installing ffmpeg from this link

http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

and everything went fine
but when i try to build using these options

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-libffmpeg_static,libiconv,ccache,bundle,dvbcsa,kqueue,tsdebug,gtimer_check ./Autobuild.sh -t trusty-amd64

i get these options as failed
Checking support/features

checking for ffmpeg libraries ... fail

Options
libffmpeg_static no
libffmpeg_static_x264 yes
inotify yes
epoll yes
uriparser yes
ccache no
tvhcsa yes
bundle no
dvbcsa no
dvben50221 no
kqueue no
dbus_1 yes
android no
tsdebug no

gtimer_check no

can someone please illustrate why??

i want libffmpeg_static to be on, also the other options "which i really don't know what they are doing"

please can someone illustrate why the static ffmpeg isn't working? and what are all these options.

Thanks very much and best regards
