Question

Need help with ffmpeg library installation on RHEL5

Hello Adobe Support Team,

I have used out of box CQ5 Video Player in my application which require ffmpeg library to be installed and available on unix machine for proper transcoding of the video file into DAM in order to be supported in all browser. I tried installing this library as per the steps mentioned at the adobe documentation site link (http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/wcm/default_components/editmode.html - Search for ffmpeg on this page to reach to the correct section) but facing issues with several dependencies which I am not able to resolve even after various attempts (as I am not very much familiar with Unix/Linux OS). So it will be very helpful if you can provide with a single bundle with all dependencies in the form of rpm file format or other unix format supported by RHEL 5 machines for this library or please help me with some alternate set of steps which will provide some easier steps for installing this library.

Thank you all in advance. Your quick response is highly appreciated. Please update, if more details are needed from my end.

Thanks,

Vijay

    Right off the ffmpeg site they have a download link for Fedora and RH EL5/6. Click the link there and you're able to download the package source or 34/64 bit RPM fusions (works with yum) for ffmpeg: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

    Hello Sinious,

    I tried the steps mentioned at the above link too but when I downloaded the package from the above provided link, the installation fails showing lots of dependencies. I tried downloading each dependent library one by one and tried installing manually them but some libraries in turn showing dependencies on other libraries which I am not able to resolve. Please find below the error log when I tried installing the rpm present at above location:

    error: Failed dependencies:

    Thanks,

    In the (long ago) past I received a lot of these simply because the 64bit version of the library needed was not available. Have you tried 32bit?
