libva-headless is recommended over libva

Update system pacman -Syu --ignore=dav1d(x265,x264 ...etc)

Update package ignoring deps pacman -Sd dav1d(x265,x264 ...etc)

then rebuild AUR package against new library

Alternatively you can perform a `pacman -Sdd x264' to install the updated version of x264 while ignoring its dependencies. Note that this is a TERRIBLE IDEA, so if you do this and something breaks don't blame me.

@djmattyg007 I think this is what you need: x264-noffmpeg.

Try to build with it.

djmattyg007 commented on 2018-08-17 10:11 (UTC)

In order to compile ffmpeg-headless, libx264.so needs to be present. Unfortunately, this is now provided by the x264 package in the official repos, rather than being provided as a standalone package. In order to install the x264 package, ffmpeg (non-headless) gets installed, which results in graphical packages being installed.

If you're building this package in a container, chroot, etc, then install the package in another environment, the compiled binary won't load, as some dependencies won't get installed.

The only way I can see around this is to install libx264-git from the AUR, which will result in a potentially unstable version of libx264 being installed. To fully resolve this, I think someone is going to have to step up and maintain a dedicated libx264 package in the AUR.

For some reason, when i try to install this, libgl and mesa get pulled, despite not being specified in the PKGBUILD. I can't work out why, but it does seem to make the package pointless...

FFMPEG 4.0 breaks the current stable release of zoneminder, stick with 3.4 if your using it.

aphirst commented on 2018-02-08 17:01 (UTC)

Presently, I can build fine, but not install.

warning: cannot resolve "libvpx.so=4-32", a dependency of "ffmpeg-headless" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: ffmpeg-headless

This is even with libvpx installed. Am I doing something wrong?

djmattyg007 commented on 2018-01-15 08:51 (UTC)

I think another pkgrel bump is in order, given that's happened in the official repositories too.

djmattyg007 commented on 2017-12-21 21:53 (UTC)

Also people who use this package should vote for it so that it gets moved to the official Arch repos and this is no longer an issue :)

djmattyg007 commented on 2017-12-21 21:48 (UTC) (edited on 2017-12-21 21:51 (UTC) by djmattyg007)

I use aurutils, which creates a private pacman repository for packages from the AUR. This means the package can't just be easily rebuilt and reinstalled - the pkgrel needs to be bumped to trigger this sort of update, or aurutils won't even pick up that a rebuild needs to happen or let you perform it.

It does make sense to depend on a specific version, for what it's worth. It's not a tricky thing. It's just that when installing the packages you're building manually (rather than adding them to a private pacman repo), you'll still have to use pacman's -d flag when updating x265.
