    Living the dreamm~ PowerMac G5

    I think vaapi state tracker still there, you just need to enable more interesting codecs like -Dvideo-codecs="all" as argument for initial configuration.

    Living the dreamm~ PowerMac G5

    Edit: while vdpau st was removed from mesa, I am not sure vaapi ever worked for decoding on BE hosts? There are at least two reports on tracker about vaapi NOT working on BE on r600 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/work_items/588

    Simple boot picker for OS 9 / OS X dual-boot

    Thanks, I found this useful for my new Linux (yaboot + ext4 patches) and OS X 10.5.8 dual boot. I wonder if you can set some delay *for boot picker itself* so OSX for example will boot anyway after minute or two of inactivity with this method?

    NetBoot OS 9 from a Modern Linux Server

    aah, there was set of links on @saybur's github page, one including ~2001 vintage instructions on how to set up netatalk/dhcpd (2.05 patched) for netbooting Macs from Linux http://web.archive.org/web/20080103001220/http://frank.gwc.org.uk/~ali/nb/ but I think your link to BSDP.doc died ? May...

    NetBoot OS 9 from a Modern Linux Server

    I wonder if this wiki page of any help for netbooting newer machines from Linux? It talks about some specific server, but from comments it appear to be just specialized Debian/ubuntu? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_get_Macintosh's_Netboot_working_with_your_FOG_server

    Thanks for testing! On segfault, if you issue "make install" it should add bin/ffmpeg/plugin.opts file, where you can add new ffmpeg filter name, commented out (with #) or with default params. On packaging issue ... does attached patch help?

    Living the dreamm~ PowerMac G5

    patch should be already in our git, so you can pull inside your ppc64le VM and see how it builds there with --without-thirdparty (I also disabled libdpx and lv2). Does x264 encoder by itself works on ppc64le as in Arch POWER distro? For me it was failing at some frames, x265 worked fine but was...
