Questions[media-library](ubuntu)

I'm one of those maniacs who want their music library presented exactly as they want it. :)

I've tried several players (Clementine, Audacious, Amarok, gmusicbrowser, Guayadeque, Nightingale, QMMP, Lollypop, Quod Libet, Rythmbox) but couldn't find a way to achieve these two goals:

1/ In a main /MUSIC/ folder, I have a subfolder per album. But also a few subfolders that I want to exlude from the player's library.

2/ In each album subfolder lies a .m3u file. I'd like the library to consider the contents of this file as an album. (The goal is to prevent the library from browsing say, a compilation album by several artists, and displaying all these artists separately. Maybe there are other solutions to this than looking for .m3u files.)

Back in my Windows days, the album list plugin for Winamp did exactly what I'm looking for today.

Thank you for any pointers.

Can someone help me with this problem i have been facing this problem since i have installed libgraph-1.0.2 in my Ubuntu 18.10. Actually i was trying to use graphics.h library in my program so while installing this libgraph for letting the graphic library work with my c++ using SDL.

Look at those bold ones. I got this error also when i was installing opencv.please solve it.

I've tried to install FFmpeg from the default repository on 18.04.

ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libswresample.so.2:   
symbol av_calloc version LIBAVUTIL_55 not defined in file 
libavutil.so.55 with link time reference

I believe I may have broken the shared libraries in the past when I tried to compile ffmpeg from source and then gave up.

Seeing this file in question /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libswresample.so.2 was provided by the package libswresample2

$ dpkg-query -L libswresample2

I tried to reinstall ffmpeg, libswresample-dev, libswresample2, libavutil55, and libavutil-dev and I'm still receiving the same error. I'm trying to avoid compiling ffmpeg from source again if possible.

Is it worth updating to a new version from 2.0.1 in the first place?
Should I delete the 2.0.1 build to install the new one?
How is the GitHub versions of the project, like if I wanted to install 2.3.0?
whats the whole process to build the new version to my pc?
Thanks for the help
