Openh264 createing an issue while upgrading from Fedora38 to Fedora 39

[prathamvbhat]

When i tried to install the latest update that is F39 i got an error message telling that:

Cannot download Packages/g/gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-1.22.1-1.fc39.x86_64.rpm: All mirrors were tried; Last error: Interrupted by header callback: Inconsistent server data, reported file Content-Length: 293, repository metadata states file length: 437107 (please report to repository maintainer)

Later when i tried using the cli way i got this error:

Please let me know thet solutions for it

I've seen this before and it seems to be a transient issue with the Cisco server. I am not sure this issue tracker is the best place to report it, but I don't know a better place either :)

It should be possible to work this around with by passing --disablerepo='*cisco*' to dnf system-upgrade, which then temporarily disables the repository for the duration of this one command.

[Prateek-Srivastav]

is using --disablerepo='*cisco*' safe?

Exactly same problem with me. Try to upgrade my fedora 37 to 38 and showing this error

I've been searching for many days for this problem but i don't find one. I will try @kalev temporary solution for upgrading to 38. I'll let you know my result.

Hey i just successfully upgrading from fedora 37 to 38 by disabling cisco repo by this line --disablerepo='*cisco*'. After all, i still have a problem with installing openH264

Maybe you are blocked from accessing ciscobinary website. Can you check if you manually download the package from this url http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-1.22.1-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm ?

If you can't, then I'll suggest use a VPN and then download it using the above url and install it manually.

I've updated to 39 using @kalev 's solution and then updated gstreamer manually. I was hitting some sort of firewall or maybe blocked by my ISP or something, but I was blocked, so I used VPN and then downloaded the package.

[prathamvbhat]

is this issue related to the internet we use, might be providers have blocked few stuff

[Prateek-Srivastav]

Yeah this might be the case that our ISP is blocking some URLs to be accesses, don't know the reason though.

[gopelkujo]

Ahh yess, mine fixed by download and install manually using vpn. Thanks!

There isn't any openh264 available packages actually on fedora-cisco rawhide repository either, I have filed a bug on Fedora because it is Fedora related, fedora packages openh264, it seems Cisco gives them permission and Cisco already publishes latest 2.4.0. here.

Openh264 package is required by ffmpeg-libs, libavcodec-free, mozilla-openh264 and gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 among others, so it is quite important for multimedia, ffmpeg is broken without openh264.
