libmlt3

Hi,
I want to have a precision before because there is something that I don't understand well. The title is called "libmlt3" and you are speaking after of libxmlt2 and libxml3.

Thank you for your reply.

Ok, I think I've mixed up everything :p

I'm using sunab svn ppa. Recently it upgraded from libmlt2 to libmlt3 (end all other related libs).
One of this new library is python-mlt3 and I think it's not linked to python 2.6.
Do you think I could fix it, or just roll back to libmlt2? Thank you

In python command line "import mlt" fails.

Files installed by python-mlt3 package are:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_mlt.so
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mlt.py
/usr/share/doc/python-mlt3/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/python-mlt3/copyright

Hi,
At first look, there is something wrong with the last update of this repository. I have some others feedbacks about this (see here but in French : https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+question/147390).
For the moment, I have none information about this, I don' t know if the MLT Team will done an update soon. If you are pressed, the only advice that I can give you is to go back at libmlt2, at less she is working.
Thanks.

Hi,

my kdenlive-svn repository contains MLT's git head (daily development version) using the regular debian packaging for MLT's 0.6.X series (version 3 for libmlt and python mlt). I know this kind of backport is dangerous for distro integrity, but this repository is only intended for kdenlive and mlt debugging, not to use along with others ppas.

Please use kdenlive-release ppa (the only one I have ever advertised for regular use), it is fully compatible.

Sorry for disturbing the Openshot community.

Hi,
