#7 ffmpeg error

TL;DR I'm trying to get the FFmpeg integration to work, but I'm getting a dependency error.

Right now if I try to run it inside the snap shell I get the following:

# snap run --shell home-assistant-snap

# which ffmpeg
/snap/home-assistant-snap/364/usr/bin/ffmpeg

# ffmpeg -h
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libpulsecommon-13.99.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Just wondering if there's a way to get ffmpeg to run inside the container, or if I can perhaps link it to the ffmpeg executable that's already installed on my system?

Any pointers would be appreciated as always. Thanks!

Hi,

Seems like a missing package, libpulse0. I've pushed an update to the latest/edge, that should be ready in few hours, depending on your architecture. :)

Nice, thanks!

Still seeing the same error (as of 2021.9.6):

ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libpulsecommon-13.99.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Oh, by a mistake I added the content supposed to go into LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the PATH environment variable, when adding the libpulse package.

It seems to be working as expected now. :)

Confirmed working! Thanks!

Hi,

Back to this. It seems to me that the ffmpeg package is available:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo snap run --shell home-assistant-snap
root@ubuntu:/snap/home-assistant-snap/443$ which ffmpeg
/snap/home-assistant-snap/443/usr/bin/ffmpeg
root@ubuntu:/snap/home-assistant-snap/443$ ffmpeg -h
