[EN] Missing ffmpeg [solved]
« on: 2014/09/25, 20:27:20 »
Hi,

I need to install ffmpeg, but I cannot seem to find it.

Code: [Select]
# apt-file search ffmpeg | grep bin
bitpim: /usr/share/bitpim/helpers/ffmpeg.lbin
ffmpeg2theora: /usr/bin/ffmpeg2theora
ffmpegthumbnailer: /usr/bin/ffmpegthumbnailer
pfstools: /usr/bin/pfsoutffmpeg

Is this available somewhere?  There seem to be a few packages that might depend on it (e.g. winff).
But it seems to be missing.

Hi, thank you for your help.

There must be something wrong with my package sources.

Code: [Select]
$ apt-cache policy ffmpeg     
ffmpeg:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:

Code: [Select]
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
# debian loadbalancer
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

Does this look correct?  Am I missing something?

Debian has replaced ffmpeg with avconv, which is in libav-tools.

first, like towo said, Debian replaced ffmpeg with avconv. Nothing is wrong except you need to install avconv instead of ffmpeg.
second, Debian is reconsidering to re-include ffmpeg, that's probably why it is in "experimental"
third, you don't see "experimental" cause it's not in your sources list.
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake
