Bubba 2 + Mediatomb + ffmpegthumbnailer

Hello,

I am using the Mediatomb upnp server on my bubba. I read from several websites that I can install ffmpeg + ffmpegthumbnailer to allow Mediatomb to generate thumbnails for video files.

ffthumbnailer can be found here: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mai ... humbnailer

However I cannot seem to get ffmpegthumbnailer install due to many missing dependancies:

Code: Select all

apt-get install ffmpegthumbnailer

Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  ffmpegthumbnailer: Depends: libavcodec52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not going to be installed or
                              libavcodec-unstripped-52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable
                     Depends: libavformat52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but 0.svn20080206-11 is to be installed or
                              libavformat-unstripped-52 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable

                     Depends: libffmpegthumbnailer3 but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1) but 4.1.1-21 is to be installed
                     Depends: libswscale0 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but 0.svn20080206-11 is to be installed or
                              libswscale-unstripped-0 (>= 3:0.svn20090303-1) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
I tried to install the missing dependancies again using apt-get install libavcodec52 for example, but it also complains about many missing dependancies and other package version mismatches.

I had absolutely no problem installing ffmpeg. So why is ffmpegthumbnailers giving me so much trouble?

I am very green to linux, so be gentle. :)

Any help is appreciated![*]
