Description

I recently upgraded from x264 version 152 to 155 and got this error: 

libavcodec/libx264.c: In function ‘X264_frame’:
libavcodec/libx264.c:282:9: error: ‘x264_bit_depth’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘x264_picture_t’?
     if (x264_bit_depth > 8)
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
         x264_picture_t
libavcodec/libx264.c:282:9: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Upstream bug and fix: ​https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6932

Arch Linux MythTV users (including myself) are using a similar patch: ​https://gist.githubusercontent.com/emerkle826/5a4302abfb09b9b3a4fed598bf3a1538/raw/4d8c178c44e4ec692c86a4516ec5e49e1f93dabf/libx264.patch

I believe master is unaffected due to ffmpeg resyncs.

By default x264 is disabled in the mythtv configure (at least in master). Are you explicitly enabling it in the mythtv configure?

Yes, most likely for HLS streaming. I don't think this would be unusual to find in other distro packages, either.
