FFmpeg fail

[Icnivadnl]

Playercore factory worked excellent until last week. i will not record anymore because FFmpeg does not work anymore since an update. this is what i get when i manually start ffmpeg..

ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

googled the message and there were many 'fixes' none worked. Any alternative options?

Hi Mate, sorry your having some issues with ffmpeg

the kodi-playercorefactory scripts have been replaced by a new version of the scripts called pilfer, which is written in python and supports alot more urls from kodi and also works with urls that have cookies

id recommend installing pilfer because im not working on these scripts anymore

pilfer

pilfer videos on odysee, had to take the videos off youtube as they kept being removed

pilfer playlist

i found this post on superuser with a fix, not sure if that will fix your issue

ffmpeg superuser fix

you can also install the latest version of ffmpeg using nixos and home-manager

nixos ffmpeg

or use linux brew

linuxbrew

Thanks a lot for the quick feedback, I'll give pilfer at try, Thanks you very much for the good work!

HI Mate, no problem you should find pilfer a bit faster and catches more urls from kodi

the ffmpeg superuser fix Actually worked :} And so does Pilfer now! thanks a lot!!!!!

I overlooked Pilfer because is promoted a a sound recorder, but it is an actual replacement. But since i can use it and have your attention :)

Can i use pilfer to record from a USB soundcard? Many Many thanks for the support so far.

HI Mate, glad the ffmpeg fix worked

pilfer is only for recording from kodi and can record either the video and audio or just the audio pilfer wont record from your usb soundcard

i record desktop audio using sox which works really well

just install sox

sudo apt install sox libsox-fmt-all

i have a little script called record-desktop-audio that use sox to record desktop audio

record-desktop-audio

display the help

record-desktop-audio -h

run the script

record-desktop-audio

specify an output filename

record-desktop-audio -o output.wav
