Mageia forum

Hi
I noticed that similar issue was reported Re: Mageia 7. I tried unsuccessfully to solve it by myself after reading the various replies in that thread.
My system details:
Mageia8, Dual screen, Dual boot - windows 10 and Mageia 8, Cinnamon desktop.

I verified that both libx264 and libx265 are there

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2266432 Jul 6 2020 /lib64/libx264.so.157*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4813216 Jul 12 2020 /lib64/libx265.so.192*

I'll appreciate your help
JJF

What version of the packages do you have installed, and do you have tainted repos enabled ?

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep -iE "x26[45]|gstreamer" | sort
urpmq --list-media active --list-url

Thanks

Please advice
JJF

As already mentioned by doktor5000 you are missing the tainted repositorys. Enable them according https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Install_media_in_Mageia_for_beginners.
After you have enabled them, replace the "standard" ffmpeg package against the tainted version. Do the same for the gstreamer packages.

Thanks
I updates (added) "tainted update" repo and the problem disappeared
