You can just change the pkgver to pkgver=4.4 and it installs just fine.

If anyone needs it:

@LukyLX Thanks. :)

Didn't know the source code hasn't been touched such a long time ago, unfortunately it seems TVHeadend still uses it for transcoding.

@francoism90 Sure, just updated to 4.3.1 for the sake of synchronizing with ffmpeg. However, I don't think this package really needs to be updated that frequently because the libavresample source code folder hasn't been touched for about 1,5 years.

@LukyLX Could you please upgrade the package? :)

Okay, cool thank you for info. :)

Hi @TomCatT, I guess you've already installed a AUR version of FFMPEG then because the official ffmpeg package doesn't include libavresample.so anymore so couldn't conflict with package libavresample. Package libavresample was designed to only work with the official ffmpeg package and only provides the libavresample.so library which is deprecated and not included anymore in the official ffmpeg package. So, if you've installed an aur package already providing libavresample.so , you don't need package libavresample.

Hello,

I was working on updating FFMPEG and it told me I had an older version of the avresample file.

Checking file conflicts... Failed to commit transaction: conflicting files: libavresample: /usr/include/libavresample/avresample.h already exists in filesystem libavresample: /usr/include/libavresample/version.h already exists in filesystem libavresample: /usr/lib/libavresample.so already exists in filesystem libavresample: /usr/lib/libavresample.so.4 already exists in filesystem libavresample: /usr/lib/libavresample.so.4.0.0 already exists in filesystem libavresample: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavresample.pc already exists in filesystem

Should I remove these files first then run your update or do you have a workaround for it?
