kodi_error_log.txt

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

Greetings from germany

[phunkyfish]

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.

[HRompel]

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

ffmpeg-Error.txt

[phunkyfish]

I believe you need 6.0 of ffmpeg and not 6.1

[HRompel]

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

[phunkyfish]

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

[HRompel]

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.

[HRompel]

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.

I doesn't know what i can do more

Greetings Heiko

[phunkyfish]

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

[HRompel]

[HRompel]

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