Thanks, I needed to rebuild python-ffmpeg-progress-yield.

@chungy:

checkrebuild is in package rebuild-detector. It will also automatically warn you during a system upgrade. Very useful.

Or try this: pacman -Ql python-ffmpeg-progress-yield should list files in /usr/lib/python3.13, not in /usr/lib/python3.12 in which case that package needs to be rebuilt.

@williemw I don't have that command.

@chungy: check, by running checkrebuild, to see if there are any "out-of-date" packages that need to be rebuilt.

This package both fails to run and fails to build, likely after the Python 3.13 update.

@periode:

Try building with the official ffmpeg package (temporarily) installed.

Running ffmpeg -encoders 2>&1 | grep libx265 should print 2 lines. Maybe those encoders were not built into the custom ffmpeg.

See https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize: it shows you how to have a static ffmpeg version on your system which you can use just for ffmpeg-normalize, in case you don't want to uninstall your custom ffmpeg permanently.

@willemw

I just did, and here's the error:

[vost#0:0 @ 0x59893c41ef00] Unknown encoder 'libx265'

I have a custom build of ffmpeg on my machine, so looks like this is the issue?

@periode: Strange. Cannot reproduce (in a clean chroot build environment).

Maybe build and install with the tests disabled. Then run for example ffmpeg-normalize test/test.mp4 -c:v libx265 from the src/ffmpeg-normalize-1.28.2 build directory.

The ffmpeg tests fail for me:

test/test.py ............F...F.F......                                                                                                                                                                                                  [100%]
