Hello,
I am having a problem with shared libraries while running some applications. It seems the library files (libx264.so and libx265.so) for the video codecs H.264 and H.265 are missing.
At first, I was getting these error messages while running media players, such as VLC, but as the content would play normally, I just ignored it.
The problem became impossible to ignore when I tried to render a video I edited with Kdenlive to a file. It will refuse to render because:
libx265.so.215: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libx265.so.215 is missing, x265 support will be disabled
libx265.so.215: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libx265.so.215 is missing, x265 support will be disabled [libx264 @ 0x7fdc7c0019c0]
libx264.so.164: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libx264.so.164 is missing, x264 support will be disabled
The same error messages are shown if I run VLC from the command-line and play a video.
I tried looking for libraries with dnf provides */libx265.so and many variations of it, but it seems there is no package in the whole OpenMandriva repository that provides them?
I suspect that either these library files would be provided by the ffmpeg package or ffmpeg itself would replace them somehow, but running ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg | grep x26 gives no results.
This problem is happening ever since I installed OpenMandriva. So, it’s not a matter of started happening after an update or upgrade. Like I said, I just ignored it, but now I have to fix it. I would appreciate if anyone can help.
