[Bug 1965181] Re: ffmpeg: from ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5 on Bionic is uninstallable using instructions (libx264-163 unavailable)
Hi! @savoury1 Rob, as a hotfix, you could add the lib (already built for vlc3 PPA) to the ffmpeg5 PPA. If that's more complicated than I think, until you have time for a better solution, just add the vlc3 PPA (containing the missing lib) to the install instructions of the ffmpeg5 PPA as noted in the WORKAROUND section of this bugreport. @ptr727 Pieter, in the meantime you could just add [ppa:savoury1/vlc3](https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/vlc3) to your docker project as noted in the WORKAROUND section of this bugreport. @savoury1 Rob, With regard to your situation, I am also sad to hear about it. We are living through difficult times. I myself have no income for some time now and additionally I'm in a country next to Ukraine (war) which already drove the prices up and its an ongoing process, so I can sympathize. I hope your situation will turn out well. Although I just found your PPAs, it seems awesome that this allows e.g. new features for people running on older or less powerful machines, or be able to postpone a full reinstall and re-setup (and possibly re-bugfix) with a newer OS release (I'm in both those shoes). On the other hand, it is understandable that it is a big commitment for a single individual, especially with the quality my so-far-superficial impression indicates. In parallel to donations, **have you though about sharing the burden?** That is a very common practice in the open-source community after all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965181 Title: ffmpeg: from ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5 on Bionic is uninstallable using instructions (libx264-163 unavailable) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/savos/+bug/1965181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Understood, and sad, it would be a loss for my project and the community, I hope you find a way to survive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965181 Title: ffmpeg: from ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5 on Bionic is uninstallable using instructions (libx264-163 unavailable) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/savos/+bug/1965181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Pieter, it's quite simple, FFmpeg 5 needs to be rebuilt against the new libx264-164 and I have been well aware of this for weeks. However, due FFmpeg 5 not being used by any other PPAs at my site it is not a priority. Also, in all likelihood the entire project that I've spent 2.5 years working on (all the various PPAs under https://launchpad.net/~savoury1) will be ending, due the fact that there is just such a tiny fraction of a percent of the many thousands and thousands (15,000 likely users based on recent stats) who even care enough about the work to support my effort doing it. Thus, now I have to urgently find some form of work that actually DOES bring in enough for me to literally survive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965181 Title: ffmpeg: from ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5 on Bionic is uninstallable using instructions (libx264-163 unavailable) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/savos/+bug/1965181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was happy that you added ffmpeg5, I use it in my docker project, and it worked great. Got a GitHub actions notification that the build on Sunday failed. Got a similar problem with ubuntu:latest and ubuntu:focal as described. I understand the experimental bit, just wanted to let you know that I do use it, and hope it could be fixed to start working again.

Have updated the description of the FFmpeg 5 PPA with the following: *** THIS PPA IS "EXPERIMENTAL" -- NO SUPPORT IS OFFERED FOR FFMPEG 5 *** No attention to bugs with FFmpeg 5 will be given at this time, due it not being used by any other software at any other PPAs of mine. ** Changed in: savos Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: savos Assignee: (unassigned) => Rob Savoury (savoury1) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965181 Title: ffmpeg: from ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5 on Bionic is uninstallable using instructions (libx264-163 unavailable) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/savos/+bug/1965181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
