[UNSOLVED] Can't install dependency of libfdk-aac1 on Ubuntu 20.04

[phackwer]

If you have a dist-upgrade'd Ubuntu 20.04, you only have libfdk-aac2 available.

Can't install .deb

$ sudo dpkg -i stremio_4.4.135-1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 279624 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack stremio_4.4.135-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking stremio (4.4.135-1) over (4.4.135-1) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of stremio: stremio depends on libfdk-aac1 (>= 0.1.5); however: Package libfdk-aac1 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package stremio (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: stremio

Trying to solve the dependency, I've got this:

$ sudo apt install libfdk-aac1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Package libfdk-aac1 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'libfdk-aac1' has no installation candidate

Installing libfdk-aac install 2 and dev but not 1.

Solved like this:

wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/fdk-aac/libfdk-aac1_0.1.6-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libfdk-aac1_0.1.6-1_amd64.deb 
sudo dpkg -i stremio_4.4.135-1_amd64.deb

Install that and I have audio. Had to put in fullscreen to get video after video started. Then I can now watch it FS or not. So... BUG! :-D

I can't even make screenshots to show how bad things went!

Hello. In order all dependencies to be satisfied easily, you need to enable the restricted repo. It is needed for codecs.

The other issues you have are probably due to video drivers. You can try installing the proprietary drivers for your GPU and see if that solves the issue.

[phackwer]

About Ubuntu repos, I always had then enabled:

I can't use the proprietary drivers, they won't work with my screens setup:

Also, I did not had problems with previous version.

[core1024]

If you have had multiverse enabled then the only reason I can think of is that you have forgotten to apt update beforehand.

I had the same issue with package libfdk-aac1 on Debian testing, my only option was to take the advice from #152 and install Stremio v4.4.106, which I recommend for Ubuntu 20.xx

https://dl.strem.io/linux/v4.4.106/stremio_4.4.106-1_amd64.deb

[phackwer]

@core1024: I run apt dist upgrade from time to time, it's definitely not a problem with me being outdated or not. And trust me: I work with linux flavors since 1996, so, don't need to tell me to run "apt update". Problems are definitely related to the render component version being used now. Something has changed and for the worst. I can get video if after the playback starts I go in and out of full screen. Subtitles are messed up and start pilling up as presented, UNLESS they are embedded (which is weird, why the embedded subtitles use a different rendering? Why?) So, those problems can we "workarounded" by users, but still they are there.

@nyym: you are correct about the versionin, I had to downgrade to a previous version I had backed up on one of the HDs I had around here.

ph4ckvv3r@ph4ckvv3r-XPS-15-9570 ~> apt list | grep stremio WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. stremio/now 4.4.116-1 amd64 [installed,local]

Unfortunately I could not rewrite the link you sent to get 116 instead of 106. I honestly have no clue why I had this .deb backed up here, but 116 works fine. I just keep getting bugged by the "upgrade" message. Long time ago there were a name for this:

NAG SCREEN.

I will close this as UNSOLVED

[phackwer]

@nyym they got be joking... apparently updating the APIs has some requirement to mess up the playblacks. Cinemeta plugin is dead. And since it's a base one, Stremio is dead.

That's what the Uninstall button triggers

Download the .deb file from here and install it. https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/focal/multiverse/base/libfdk-aac1

After that install the streamio. Works fine.

I created a script to solve this problems and install stremio: https://github.com/Kyoro93/stremio-install-ubuntu-22.04
