Codec problems

Hello,
I have problems with video playback. My browser (Librewolf), VLC and Celluloid all don't play videos.
VLC reports that it can't decode h264 and vp9.
The only software that works is Ungoogled Chromium which apparently comes prebuild with codecs.

ffmpeg and libavcodec59 are preinstalled.
I installed mx-codecs and installed the codecs there, but this didn't helped either.
Why doesn't it work?

Please, the exact message that VLC is giving you.
And the result of "vainfo" in the terminal.
You may just have to disable automatic hardware acceleration in VLC's Input/Codecs settings.

VLC can't do va-api hardware-accelerated playback of vp9 with your Intel GPU, but it should of most h264, and it should be able to use brute force CPU decoding. Mine, for example:

Code: Select all

quite possible the video's themselves are issue, especially if drm is involved.

Thank you for your answer. The VLC error is:

Code: Select all

Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))
The output of "vainfo" is:

Code: Select all

libva info: VA-API version 1.18.0
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
Deactivating automatic hardware acceleration in VLC didn't helped.

No video work. Be it selfmade videos or downloaded videos.

probably worth checking some versions.

Code: Select all

apt policy ffmpeg libavcodec59 libopenh264-7 
is ungoogled chromium a flatpak or how is that installed?

Your QSI shows that you have a VPN installed. Can you access and run any of these problem videos after disabling the VPN.

Oh, yeah, I forget to mention that Ungoogled chromium is a Flatpak application unlike the other applications, so it may work because it run on it's own dependencies.

I think you misunderstood me. We are talking primarily about local files, so accessing the videos is not the problem.

I drag and drop the local video into my browser and this is the error I get: "No video with supported format and MIME type found."

Are these local problem files created by you or from another source? And if so, what source is that?

yep all that looks normal.

and you also can't play that big bunny video you linked, correct? at least in vlc?

OK--it's using the current 535 Nvidia driver to supply graphics, which certainly supports those codecs with the GTX 1050 card. I missed that and assumed it was using the Intel iGPU. So no wonder vainfo borked, since we want the result of "vdpauinfo" for the Nvidia graphics (example output below). I wonder if the Intel integrated GPU is fully disabled in the BIOS, since we see this:

Are these local problem files created by you or from another source? And if so, what source is that?
Some are self-created, some are downloaded from Youtube or other websites. It doesn't really matter. They all don't work.

Oh, yeah, I forget to mention that Ungoogled chromium is a Flatpak application unlike the other applications, so it may work because it run on it's own dependencies.

Your QSI shows that you have a VPN installed. Can you access and run any of these problem videos after disabling the VPN.
I think you misunderstood me. We are talking primarily about local files, so accessing the videos is not the problem.

I drag and drop the local video into my browser and this is the error I get: "No video with supported format and MIME type found."
yep all that looks normal.

and you also can't play that big bunny video you linked, correct? at least in vlc?
Yes, not only in VLC but in Librewolf and Celluloid too.
Celluloid doesn't even open. In terminal it outputs this error:

I missed that and assumed it was using the Intel iGPU. So no wonder vainfo borked, since we want the result of "vdpauinfo" for the Nvidia graphics (example output below). I wonder if the Intel integrated GPU is fully disabled in the BIOS, since we see this:

No, I only use the iGPU for a dual monitor setup to save some system resources. That's why I activated it in the BIOS settings.

Just mentioning that the linked Blender video works in all expected ways over here. Accessing the link with Librewolf, then downloading a local copy (Save video as...), opening the local copy with VLC, dragging the local copy into Librewolf, dragging the local copy into Reaper, etc. etc. Everything opens and shows the video as expected. I don't have any codec funny business installed on this system :), just the usual stuff, i.e. mx-codecs, ffmpeg, and the latest VLC available from the repo. Librewolf 138.0.1.

Ah, you have a "libavcodec.so.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error there; see if you indeed don't have the libavcodec59 package installed. You will need to uncheck the "hide library and developer packages" in MXPI. If you don't have this codec, install it and try again.

the apt policy information shows it installed, but might be worth reinstalling it.

Heh, I gloriously missed that xD. But yeah, it's quite odd this shows a "No such file or directory" error if it's indeed there. Might be interesting to peek into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, and see if the actual file is where it's supposed to be. There should be a libavcodec.so.59 symlink and the actual library file it's pointing at. In any case, a reinstall is good to try, yep.

I uninstalled it in MXPI and it removed 31 package along. I should have reinstalled in with the reinstall feature of Synpatic. But after reinstalling the packages it works on all 3 softwares.
Thank you very much.

Hey that's great! A bit of a mystery how it got to that state, not being found on the file system level while still showing that it's already installed. I'd almost go as far as saying... if some other library / random thing starts behaving in a similar fashion, without any obvious change in the system, it's time to start backing up your data. Just in case.

(Of course, anything important should be backed up in any case :happy: so ... yeah.)

Well, unfortunatly it's too late now, I already reinstalled it. As you said these 2 files are in there now.

Good that everything is in working order now. Btw, about that MXPI / Synaptic reinstalling tidbit: to my understanding, if you select a package that shows already installed in MXPI and still click on "Install", that will basically reinstall the package.

Good to know. But why do you say that I should back up my system? My system was just installed 2 days ago.

Don't worry too much about that; it was just a general comment about that mysteriously "not there" file, which showed in the package manager it should have been there. What I meant was, if you start seeing similar situations on that machine, i.e. some file not being found on the file system level even if it's supposed to be there, and no known operation has been done on the machine that might have caused it - that's when I'd start worrying. And backing up, heh. As a one-off thing, at this point it's much more probable this was just a snag that won't repeat :).

I understand. My disk as some bad sectors because I once shut down my PC while running because it froze. This is when I learned to use REISUB. I guess it's fine using it when no other bad sectors appear. The MX Linux Installation suggested to remap these but it takes a long time so I skipped it.

Hi I'm new on MX 23.6.

I have trouble with libavcodec.so, let me demonstrate this with a picture:
libavmess2.jpg
...a result of trying to fix the original problem (still unfixed), and that is: ffmpeg does not work.

"$ ffmpeg" gives this output:

"fmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

So libavformat.so doesn't work, apparently missing ("no such file" - yeah see pic above...).

The MX package installer shows it as installed. Attempts at uninstalling it (I could uninstall ffmpeg just fine) send the MXPI into an eternal doomloop of being frozen, right after the password prompt. Repeat attempts give same result (MXPI freezes). When I kill & reopen MXPI the libavcodec is still there. Trying via terminal by "$ sudo apt-get remove --purge libavcodec.so" gives this output:

"E: Unable to locate package libavcodec.so.59.37.100"
"E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libavcodec.so.59.37.100'"
"E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libavcodec.so.59.37.100'"

Searching the root folder for it (via Dolphin) finds a number of instances plus assorted link-files, as seen in the pic above.

"$ sudo ldconfig" gives this output:

"ldconfig: file /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.59.37.100 is truncated"
(and so is the assorted link-file)

At one point of trying to deal with this I tried replacing the content of a truncated, smaller double with that of the bigger one, without changing permissions etc via cat (i.e. "sudo cat /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.59.37.100 > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.59.37.100"), which gave this output:

"bash: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.59.37.100: Permission denied"

I had given the correct root password though when prompted so it should have worked. But I don't fully (nor even half) understand how the root command / sudo limitations on MX work, I was mostly on Ubuntu Studio before where there seemed to be no limit to using it. I am main user & root, it's my pc but
I had input the same password for main user and root during system install though - out of laziness - perhaps that was not so clever and now they conflict with each other, causing permission problems?

When trying '$ sudo apt autoremove' twice, the first time it told me this:

"ldconfig: file /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.59.37.100 is truncated"
"ldconfig: file /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.59 is truncated"

...and second time, no mention of them at all. But the truncated library and its truncated link-file friend are still there, and so are the other versions.

Oh and audacity can't import the audio of the video files I want it to. It needs that same library obviously. "Locate FFmpeg library" in Edit > Preferences > Import/Export > Libraries doesn't work with either of the versions. I saw that this is likely just an incompatibility problem as Audacity 3.4 requires libavcodec.so.60, the only version NOT installed haha. But installing yet another one feels wrong as long as the underlying problem remains, and being somehow unable to uninstall "libavcodec.so" nor touch any of the other files (whichever of the 3.5 versions or truncated double/s) even with the root password I can't do anything about it.

I don't know how to fix this. I tried googling the libavcodec.so file name with a range of other keywords but to no avail. Can some someone on here please help me?

Holy textfile that worked! FFmpeg works now, audacity imports the videos' audio. Problem solved, thank you! <3

Sorry, I had thought putting an issue into an existing related thread was the appropriate way. I will start new threads next time, thanks for the hint.
