Unfortunately debian apt installed driver keeps moving around, and it is hard to debug for us on every distro. If you can find out where the *.so files moved then...

@sirrush7 Thanks, The `ls` output you shared does not list the two libraries this patch is concerned with, namely `libnvidia-encode.so` and `libnvidia-fbc.so`. Let me know if/where you are able to...

@noonien you can create another script that sources the patch.sh script and read/lookup the `patch_list` bash dictionary: https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch/blob/26db5e7d2553b93d564fd43a4d96eeb89c2753d7/patch.sh#L57 This script for example did something similar https://github.com/arcnmx/nixexprs/blob/36583070152bb7bed68e56feeff29889a227ef01/pkgs/public/linux/default.nix#L161 (on an older version...

@noonien I understand your concern, in fact I too had to write ugly bash scripts for automating updating the `patch.sh` files. The only reason I am not switching away to...

> An alternative would be to also have the patches as a separate, more parseable file. I think something that might work is keeping just the `patch_list` in a separate...

Hmm no need it should run from anywhere. Looks like the steps to test in wiki are out of date as something changed in ffmpeg. Will test it on my...

Oh wait maybe it's your powershell that is causing issue with line breaks. @linmuqin can you try the following script instead https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch/raw/master/win/tools/patch-tester/patch-tester.ps1

@linmuqin Yeah looks like your driver is too old for latest ffmpeg. But if you patched driver before, and only changed graphics card and did not update driver, it should...

there's no expiry unless you update or reinstall the driver.
