I am using Mageia 9 with Plasma Desktop and would like to make screen recordings with SimpleScreenRecorder and the "YouTube" output profile. However, under "Video" in SimpleScreenRecorder, the codec says "H.264 not installed".

: SimpleScreenRecorder H.264 not installed; SimpleScreenRecorder YouTube H264 S01B.png (68.2 KiB) Viewed 17964 times

I have activated the tainted and nonfree repositories. I have installed H.264 codecs via the Mageia Control Centre, but the message persists. I then installed the audio and video codecs via Mageia Welcome, but the message persists.

How do I proceed so that SimpleScreenRecorder recognises H.264?

Thanks in advance for the support.

Works out of the box on an untinkered installation.

I just for this installed SimpleScreenRecorder from our repo.
No problem here, that Codec field only say "H.264"

If you start simplescreenrecorder from a terminal, does it show some interesting output?

by **maluethy** » Jan 29th, '24, 11:26

I installed Mageia 9 with the following packages: Workstation > Documentation, Configuration, Console Tools. By default, other packages were selected, such as Multimedia and Internet. I don't know if this has any influence on the current situation.

In an older forum post, the problem, as I understand it, was with 32bit repositories that were not activated. In my installation, the repositories are set according to the default settings of the wizard. As far as I can understand without 32bit repositories. I don't know whether the 32bit repositories are necessary for SimpleScreenRecorder today or not.

Starting simplescreenrecorder from the terminal gives out:

FWIW, I have 32 bit repos enabled, and when installing simplescreenrecorder many i586 packages was installed by dependency.

by **maluethy** » Jan 29th, '24, 21:30

Thanks for the feedback.
I have activated the 32bit repositories, uninstalled SimpleScreenRecorder in the Mageia control centre, installed the newly added H.264 32 bit codecs and reinstalled SimpleScreenRecorder. The message in SimpleScreenRecorder remains: H.264 not installed. - Should I restart the computer between uninstalling software and reinstalling it? Does it help to uninstall and reinstall all H.264 codecs?

by **doktor5000** » Jan 29th, '24, 23:11

No need to restart your computer after installing normal userspace applications. It probably won't help to uninstall/reinstall all H.264 codecs.

As simplescreenrecorder uses ffmpeg, and that is not contained in the outputs, can you please post the output of

Code: Select all: rpm -qa |grep -iE "ffmpeg|avformat|avcodec|avutil|avfilter|swscale|postproc|resample"|sort

by **maluethy** » Jan 30th, '24, 14:04

Thanks for the explanations.
Below is the output of the command from the console as user:

I think you need to upgrade to the tainted versions. I have:

Code: Select all: $ rpm -qa |grep -iE "ffmpeg|avformat|avcodec|avutil|avfilter|swscale|postproc|resample"|sort ffmpeg-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted ffmpegthumbs-23.04.1-1.mga9 lib64avcodec59-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted lib64avfilter8-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted lib64avformat59-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted lib64avutil57-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted lib64ffmpegthumbnailer4-2.2.2^git20220218-1.mga9 lib64postproc56-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted lib64swresample4-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted lib64swscaler6-5.1.3-3.mga9.tainted lib64zita-resampler1-1.10.1-1.mga9

Thank you for your feedback.
How do I upgrade to the tainted versions?

by **morgano** » Feb 2nd, '24, 14:28

Enable the tainted repos. Both release and updates. As you have both 64 and 32 bit you need both arches now too so in total 4 repos.

Graphical tool MCC -> Configure media sources for install and update
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/9/en/content ... edit-media

result:

Code: Select all: $ urpmq --list-media active --list-url | grep tainted Tainted Release https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/tainted/release Tainted Updates https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/tainted/updates Tainted 32bit Release https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/distrib/9/i586/media/tainted/release Tainted 32bit Updates https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/distrib/9/i586/media/tainted/updates

Then in MCC drakrpm top left dropdown select which here say "Packages with GUI"
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/9/en/content ... l#rpmdrake
change that to "All updates"

Now you can manually select updates for what is have installed.
To the help is categories in left pane, and click columns to sort.

If you want to install updates to everything installed, from any active media, it is efficient to instead as root run "urpmi --auto-up" in terminal. First, to test, try "urpmi --auto-up --test" to only see what it would do.

by **doktor5000** » Feb 2nd, '24, 17:28

Or simply just run as root

Code: Select all: urpmi --auto-update

as you already have the tainted repos enabled.

by **maluethy** » Feb 3rd, '24, 16:00

Many thanks for the descriptions, the links and the commands.
I simply executed the command "urpmi -auto-update" as root and now the H.264 protocol is available in the YouTube profile in SimpleScreenRecorder. > The screen recording now works.
Why did it not work before the update with the command "urpmi -auto-update"? Is the execution of this command necessary because of the manual installation of H.264 or because of the media source tainted versions?

by **doktor5000** » Feb 3rd, '24, 21:23

When you enable tainted repos, you want to replace all installed package with their tainted versions. For that you either need to run urpmi --auto-update or use drakrpm with the filter set to "All updates" as mentioned by morgano (and select all updates in that view).
