Bug Fix Advisory New package: qffmpeg

Advisory: RHBA-2009:1323-1
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2009-09-02
Last updated on: 2009-09-02
Affected Products: RHEL Desktop Multi OS (v. 5 client)
RHEL Virtualization (v. 5 server)

Details

A new qffmpeg package, required for hypervisor Spice protocol support, is
now available.

qffmpeg is a stripped-down version of FFMPEG including only a limited set
of the codecs available in the upstream version.

This new package provides the codecs required for SPICE protocol support in
the Linux KVM hypervisor and clients. The package includes no other codecs
from the upstream version, to avoid inadvertently bundling or shipping
any encumbered code or binaries. (BZ#488606)

Users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 should install the qffmpeg packages for
use with SPICE-enabled virtualization products.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
