May 11, 20251 yr Hi, My python script uses ffmpeg as a command line dependancy, and I would like to know how to install it properly on my unraid. On my regular Linux machine, I would use "sudo apt install ffmpeg" thanks Edited May 11, 20251 yr by valasg
May 11, 20251 yr Community Expert Download package from here and put in the existing /boot/extra folder on the USB. Reboot unraid https://packages.slackware.com/?r=slackware64-current&p=ffmpeg-7.1.1-x86_64-3.txz Edited May 11, 20251 yr by MowMdown
May 11, 20251 yr Community Expert The actual proper way is to use a docker container or a plugin if available. there is an ffmpeg docker you can download from Linuxserver
May 11, 20251 yr Author Thanks for your reply. I would like to go to solution (1) for sake of simplicity and as it is a one off. However you lost me with "put in the existing /boot/extra folder on the USB" Indeed browsing the USB Flash key, there is no /boot/extra folder. May I ask you for more details ? Many thanks again.
May 11, 20251 yr Community Expert There should be an extra folder on the boot USB. /boot is just the root level of the USB. There’s not an additional folder on the USB called boot. Edited May 11, 20251 yr by MowMdown
May 11, 20251 yr Author Hi, I can see the ffmpeg was copied there in /usr/bin, but while running it I got : "ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Thanks
