@Batou: blame x265. All packages relying on x265 should have the same problem.

@imdn: thank you so much! I did just that. I encode all the time using h.264 and AAC but this package is just not that well suited for system-wide use.

Another dependency update, another breakage. Sadly this seems to be the norm for users of this package. @Batou this is how I resolved it: 1) Replace this with the default ffmpeg (incl. ffmpeg2.8 if you have vlc installed) # pacman -S ffmpeg ffmpeg2.8 2) Update your system # pacman -Syu 3) Build ffmpeg-libfdk_aac with clean chroot method (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot) Note: At this point, you should also be able to build and install normally from the PKGBUILD or using helpers like yaourt. I just prefer the clean chroot method 4) Install (replaces default ffmpeg with this package) # pacman -U ffmpeg-libfdk_aac-1:3.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Hmm... not sure how to resolve this one. Anyone have some ideas? resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ffmpeg-libfdk_aac: installing x265 (2.4-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=110-64'

@Batou I assume that has already been the reason for the last pkgrel update which was just a bit early because the concerning dependencies were still in testing.

Quick note that ffmpeg2.8 now updates libass, libbluray and x265 to versions incompatible with current version of ffmpeg-libfdk_aac. :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ffmpeg-libfdk_aac: installing libass (0.13.6-1) breaks dependency 'libass.so=5-64' :: ffmpeg-libfdk_aac: installing libbluray (1.0.0-1) breaks dependency 'libbluray.so=1-64' :: ffmpeg-libfdk_aac: installing x265 (2.3-1) breaks dependency 'libx265.so=102-64'

Note that latest libass, libbluray and x265 which require the rebuild are still in testing.

@korrode Thanks for pointing this out.

AFAIK, it is illegal to distribute ffmpeg, with all it's various GPL'd components, built with fdk-aac. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC "The license of libfdk_aac is not compatible with the GPL, so the GPL does not permit distribution of binaries containing incompatible code when GPL-licensed code is also included. Therefore this encoder have been designated as "non-free", and you cannot download a pre-built ffmpeg that supports it. This can be resolved by compiling ffmpeg yourself." So Martchus although an AUR package (where the end user is actually building it themself) is fine, your binary package is likely illegal to distribute.

Here a link to current version (usually updated faster than here): https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/ffmpeg/libfdk_aac/PKGBUILD I also increase pkgrel every time when a rebuild is required (due to updated dependencies in official repos).
