ffmpeg

Builds the latest stable FFmpeg for the latest Fedora Linux release with complete Nvidia support. The primary reason why this repo exists is RPM Fusion doesn't provide the latest FFmpeg as soon as it's released. Also, there is no COPR repo which provides FFmpeg with proprietary codecs.

Installation

1. Add this repo

sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://infiniti151.github.io/ffmpeg/infiniti151-ffmpeg.repo

2. Exclude ffmpeg from rpmfusion-free (if you have it enabled)

sudo dnf config-manager setopt \
  rpmfusion-free.excludepkgs="$(grep -Po '^excludepkgs=\K.*' /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo | sed 's/$/ ffmpeg*/' || echo "ffmpeg*")" \
  rpmfusion-free-updates.excludepkgs="$(grep -Po '^excludepkgs=\K.*' /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free-updates.repo | sed 's/$/ ffmpeg*/' || echo "ffmpeg*")"

3. Add rpmfusion-free-rawhide repo

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo > /dev/null
[rpmfusion-free-rawhide]

4. Install ffmpeg

Current System State	Command
Fedora Default (ffmpeg-free)	sudo rpm -e --nodeps ffmpeg-free $(rpm -qa 'libav*-free' 'libsw*-free') sudo dnf in ffmpeg --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-rawhide
Standard RPM Fusion (ffmpeg)	sudo dnf swap ffmpeg ffmpeg --allowerasing --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-rawhide
No FFmpeg installed	sudo dnf in ffmpeg --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-rawhide

Update

sudo dnf up --refresh

If the update fails due to

Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides xxx(64bit) needed by ffmpeg-xxx.fcxx.x86_64 from infiniti151-ffmpeg

update ffmpeg with

sudo dnf up ffmpeg --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-rawhide

and then do sudo dnf up --refresh to update other packages.
