FFMPEG.ffmpeg_exe failed because of ERROR: failed process

[akawashiro]

FFMPEG.ffmpeg_exe failed with ERROR: failed process. Although the use of ffmpeg through FFMPEG.jl failed, I can use it with appropriate LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Do you have any advice or workaround?

Same issue here, any news?

[giordano]

Can you please try

using FFMPEG.FFMPEG_jll
run(`$(ffmpeg()) -v 0 -framerate 15 -i /home/akira/materials-for-FFMPEG/%06d.png -i /home/akira/matrials-for-FFMPEG/palette.bmp -lavfi paletteuse=dither=sierra2_4a -loop 0 -y anim_fps15.gif`)

[akawashiro]

Thank you. But it doesn't work for me.

There is a workaround here which worked for me: https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/3575

But this is not a solution, only a workaround. The bug has to be fixed somehow.
