audacity without the optional ffmpeg library

This allows FFmpeg to be optional (Audacity will run without FFmpeg) and it could be distributed separately (removes licensing issues). Note that details of the documentation or of the project implementation itself may change over time.Īs a design decision, FFmpeg libraries are being linked dynamically and loaded at run time. User documentation was produced by the student and has been incorporated into appropriate pages in the Audacity Manual. While FFmpeg also has other uses, this is outside the scope of this project. In Audacity FFmpeg will be used to import and export audio data. 4.1 Importing and Exporting using the Audacity-recommended version of FFmpegįFmpeg is a set of libraries for audio/video encoding/decoding/muxing/demuxing/processing/capturing.EDIT after thread has been closed because I marked next post as Solution: so far no bug report have been created, letting the situation stay the same. If possible maybe Manjaro can change this dependency line without waiting for a report/fix from Arch? So if a good soul with an account can report the issue that would be cool for the others (on my side it is fixed). I tried to report it to Arch bug tracker, but I can not register (it say credentials already used), and I can not retrieve my password (it says my credentials do not exist). For sure without installing ffmpeg4.4 you can not open many file formats. The dependency should be changed for ffmpeg4.4 or it should be added as an optional dependency I don’t know.

Just run pamac install audacity ffmpeg4.4 from terminal and when it is installed, open your WMA file, and go to File → Export → and then you can convert to whatever format.Īudacity will not detect this version of ffmpeg. The package ffmpeg4.4 provides libavcodec.so.58 which is automatically recognized by Audacity. EDIT: you will need ffmpeg4.4 with Audacity, as I just noticed current ffmpeg provided in Manjaro is at version 5 and the libavcodec.so.59 it provides is not compatible with current Audacity version.
