kodi_error_log.txt

Every time if a new version of kodi is avaible, this AddOn can't install - why?

Greetings from germany Heiko

Sep 16 '24 19:09 HRompel

What version of ffmpeg do you have installed?

My guess is you have ffmpeg 7 and kodi is waiting for that PR to be merged so is still on version 6.

Sep 16 '24 20:09 phunkyfish

the version 6.1 of ffmpeg is installed, but i become this Error from pacman

ffmpeg-Error.txt

Sep 22 '24 11:09 HRompel

I believe you need 6.0 of ffmpeg and not 6.1

Sep 22 '24 11:09 phunkyfish

6.1 and 7.0.21 are in the repro from manjaro - 6.0 not.

Sep 22 '24 11:09 HRompel

Can you build and install 6.0 manually? Otherwise I’m not sure how to get around this.

Sep 22 '24 16:09 phunkyfish

why use ffmpeg 6.0? 6.1.2 was released on 2024-08-02. It is the latest stable FFmpeg release from the 6.1 release branch, which was cut from master on 2023-10-29. 7.0.2 was released on 2024-08-03. It is the latest stable FFmpeg release from the 7.0 release branch, which was cut from master on 2024-03-27 On Manjaro repo the last version from "kodi-addon-inputstream-ffmpegdirect" was 21.3.5-5 from 16.04.2024. So i doesn't a older ffmpeg-version, i need a newer addon version, thats use the new ffmpeg.

@phunkyfish The advice to install older ffmpeg is a disaster waiting to come. I had 20.x addon built along ffmpeg 6.1.1 in Debian sid just fine: https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/kodi-media-center/kodi-inputstream-ffmpegdirect/-/tree/debian/20.5.1+ds-1/debian/patches?ref_type=tags

Then the issue must be something else then. Ffmpeg 6 should be API stable AFAIK and should not cause problems. Anyway to make sure it’s choosing the correct ffmpeg version to build against (I.e. FFmpeg 6 and not 7)?

Unfortunately we can’t build against a different ffmpeg verison than is used in Kodi, they must remain the same. But any v6 release of ffmpeg should work. I don’t know why this is not working for you.

Sep 23 '24 04:09 phunkyfish

Hello, if have deinstall Kodi and clean my home folder about kodi, but i can't install the ffmpeg AddOn.

On three pictures you can see what i found in the repo about kodi and ffmpeg.

ffmpeg-error_001 ffmpeg-error_002 ffmpeg-error_003

I doesn't know what i can do more

Can you not install kodi-addon-inputstream-ffmpegdirect?

Sep 24 '24 04:09 phunkyfish

Can you not install kodi-addon-inputstream-ffmpegdirect?

wow, 100%. And now what is your info that's help me?

Now I’m just confused, does the addon work once installed?

Sep 24 '24 19:09 phunkyfish

I Can't install the Addon and i can't install ffmpeg 6.0.

Greetings Heiko

Sep 24 '24 19:09 HRompel

Sorry, I’m not a Linux user. So installing the addon is actually building it? I.e. the ffmpeg error comes from the attempted install?

Sep 24 '24 20:09 phunkyfish

Let me spin a Manjaro container and check what's there…

Sep 25 '24 00:09 basilgello

Hello basilgello,

have you spin the Manjaro container? If yes, can you install the AddOn?

Greetings Heiko

Oct 10 '24 17:10 HRompel

I did spin docker.io/manjarolinux/base:latest which is 24.1.1 "Xahea" and indeed the kodi-addon-inputstream-ffmpegdirect is missing despite Adaptive and RTMP are there!

Also, Manjaro Package Tracker confirms that: https://manjaristas.org/branch_compare?q=kodi-addon

Trying to find the repo for the addon package in Manjaro now

Oct 11 '24 07:10 basilgello

Well… Manjaro devs followed the path of least resistance and picked up AUR PKGBUILD that bundles ffmpeg 6.0.1 into Kodi, instead of picking up #24972 port from Debian and using currently shipped FFmpeg 7.0.2. The ffmpegdirect CMakeLists.txt now has no code to build ffmpeg from depends so a conflict arose

Oct 11 '24 09:10 basilgello

One option would be to uninstall Kodi from Manjaro and install kodi-git, and needed kodi-addon-*-git via pamac from AUR

Oct 11 '24 10:10 basilgello

sudo pacman -S kodi-git [sudo] Passwort für heiko: Fehler: Ziel nicht gefunden: kodi-git

sudo -S kodi-addon--git sudo: kodi-addon--git: Befehl nicht gefunden

Greetings Heiko

Oct 11 '24 13:10 HRompel

pamac build kodi-git pamac build kodi-addon-inputstream-adaptive-git pamac build kodi-addon-inputstream-ffmpegdirect-git etc for all binary addons you want to have in your system

But keep in mind it will probably install v22 Piers!

Oct 11 '24 13:10 basilgello

pamac build kodi-git

i think i must change my os from manjaro to debian, because in debian kodi and his addons works.

Oct 11 '24 14:10 HRompel

You can :) I am maintaining Kodi there and we are about to backport v21 to bookworm!

I have been trying to install / uninstall all variants to get the kodi-addons-inputstream-ffmpeg to install without success.

im open to suggestions - perhaps im not able to select the ffmpeg6 version correctly - really kinda frustrating... :-/

Oct 13 '24 03:10 bingChilling-Amnesty-Coalition

24972 is a patch for ffmpeg7, basically xbmc/xbmc#24972 :) It was rebased several times, so it must be a PKGBUILD problem if it fetches the patch by "generic" name and not by commit hash.
