SDL2.0 Alternative for SDL_Overlay
So I've been trying to go through the following tutorial on ffmpeg: http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/tutorial02.html
However, when I try to compile using gcc, I get the following output:
root:/Users/mbrodeur/Downloads/HACKATHON CONTENT/Tutorials-> gcc -o tutorial02 tutorial02.c -lavutil -lavformat -lavcodec -lz -lavutil -lm -lswscale -D_THREAD_SAFE -lSDL2
tutorial02.c: In function ‘main’:
tutorial02.c:41: error: ‘SDL_Overlay’ undeclared (first use in this function)
tutorial02.c:41: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
tutorial02.c:41: error: for each function it appears in.)
tutorial02.c:41: error: ‘bmp’ undeclared (first use in this function)
tutorial02.c:98: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
tutorial02.c:110: error: ‘SDL_YV12_OVERLAY’ undeclared (first use in this function)
Now, I read that SDL_Overlay is no longer used in SDL2, so therein lies the problem. I've been poking around, but can't seem to find anything helpful. Is there a replacement for SDL_Overlay? Is it necessary?
SDL_Overlay is used in the following context:
SDL_Overlay *bmp;
bmp = SDL_CreateYUVOverlay(pCodecCtx->width, pCodecCtx->height,
SDL_YV12_OVERLAY, screen);
Answer
I have updated the tutorial to work with SDL 2.0.1. It replaces SDL_Overlay with SDL_Texture in YV12 format.
