Hey friends, so I just updated my system and noticed some videos not playing on for example Reddit (AVC decoder). ffmpeg was updated to version 5.0 and at the same time ffmpeg4.4 got added to the official repos. After also installing the ffmpeg4.4 package, everything works fine again. Does anybody…

This video is not playing… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjCUP3CGTDI

Ah, okay. Thanks. So Firefox will at some point probably adapt the new ffmpeg version, right? Well, if someone else has the same problem, the ffmpeg4.4 package seems to be the way to go.

Did you try the ffmpeg4.4 package. The linked stream/video works for me.

Did you downgrade the 5.0 to 4.4 or you uninstalled 5.0?

ffmpeg and ffmpeg4.4 can exist at the same time. I have both of them installed.

Hm, strange, I hav eonly 5.0-3… I’ll install 4.4.1-3 $ LANG=C sudo pacman -Ss ffmpeg extra/ffmpeg 2:5.0-3 [installed] Complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video extra/ffmpeg4.4 4.4.1-3 Complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and vide

It fixed, installed ffmpeg4.4, and both coexist now… Thanks @I0F

I don’t see this version? extra/ffmpeg4.4 4.4.1-3 Complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and vide

This is how I installed it, then the video playback worked ▶ $ sudo pacman -S ffmpeg4.4

Here’s the link to the package . Maybe your mirrors aren’t up-to-date yet?

ffmpeg 4.4 is the legacy version of ffmpeg. Both are provided because some software won’t work directly with ffmpeg 5.x.
