Remove from setup.py ffvideo dependency and try again.

How to make this ?
This: "error: command 'arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc' failed with exit status 1" it happens when i try to install ffvideo package.
Sorry. I'm python beginner.

This is the same issues as #1662 and #1656.
I got the same error message too. On my Raspberry Pi 2b (Jessie) I cannot sudo pip install ffvideo successfully. It outputs some lines saying

ffvideo/ffvideo.c:[...]:[...]: error: 'struct AVStream' has no member named 'r_frame_rate'

Somehow it has to do with both, yowsup and ffvideo itself. Did you find a solution? Or do you think if I get ffvideo installed it will work? Because nevertheless DownloadableMediaMessageProtocolEntity has no .fromFilePath ...

[dargmuesli]

Ok, one hour later: I got it now. It is indeed 2 seperate issues.

First

fromFilePath was not updated with 0f18179 by @tgalal in message_media_downloadable_audio.py and message_media_downloadable_video.py accordingly. @tanquetav did so in pull request #1564.
I'll try to get an own fork of it running as the pr is open since 2 May 2k16 ...

Second

FFVideo's newest version is currently 0.0.13 which is from 2013-02-24 so it's extremely out of date. What worked for me was editing FFVideo.c and replacing all r_frame_rate with avg_frame_rate. Then it was no problem for me installing it via sudo python setup.py install! Though yowsup still tells me that there was an error importing FFVideo... I'll investigate.

For both problems I will add a reference to an easy fix tomorrow.

[dargmuesli]

Here are the fixes:

First

GitHub repository Dargmuesli/yowsup.
Contains the original yowsup source + builder support for audio and video upload!

Second

BitBucket repository Dargmuesli/FFVideo.
Contains the original FFVideo source + r_frame_rate-fix!

You can download and install them as usual with sudo python setup.py install.

If - for some reason - importlib's import_module does not work and you still get the same import error, change yowsup/common/tools.py to the following:

from ffvideo import VideoStream

class VideoTools:
    @staticmethod
    def getVideoProperties(videoFile):
        # with FFVideoOptionalModule() as imp:
        # VideoStream = imp("VideoStream")
        s = VideoStream(videoFile)
        return s.width, s.height, s.bitrate, s.duration #, s.codec_name

    @staticmethod
    def generatePreviewFromVideo(videoFile):
        #with FFVideoOptionalModule() as imp:
        #VideoStream = imp("VideoStream")
        fd, path = tempfile.mkstemp('.jpg')
        stream = VideoStream(videoFile)
        stream.get_frame_at_sec(0).image().save(path)
        preview = ImageTools.generatePreviewFromImage(path)
        os.remove(path)
        return preview

But note that captions for videos are currently not send.
