Installing ffmpeg in Amazon Linux












2















So as the title says I am trying to install ffmpeg package on amazon linux.



I tried the commands:



wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-6-1.noarch.rpm 
sudo rpm -Uhv rpmfusion-free-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uhv rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install ffmpeg


but I got the following error:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Any suggestions?

I guess you used commands from this guide, but this method doesn't work.
This error happens because Amazon Linux doesn't include most multimedia libs including ffmpeg, Pulse and so on. You need to add CentOS repos, which contain these missing packages.



I had the same error and this is how I dealt with it.





  1. Create repo-file where you should include CentOS repos of proper version.This is important!
    If your AMI EPEL repos have 6th version, then use CentOS 6. If 7th, then CentOS 7.



    [base]
    name=CentOS-6 - Base
    mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os
    #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/extras/x86_64/
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
    priority=1
    [updates]
    name=CentOS-6 - Updates
    mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=updates
    #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/x86_64/
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
    priority=1
    [extras]
    name=CentOS-6 - Extras
    mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=extras
    #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/extras/x86_64/
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
    priority=1
    #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages



  2. Import GPG key for the repo



    sudo rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6



  3. Update repos



    yum -y update --skip-broken



  4. Install ffmpeg as usual



    yum install ffmpeg



The method was taken from this thread and a bit adapted to be more up to date.

  • This also needs the nux dextop repo now as ffmpeg is not included in centos repo anymore vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-centos

I guess you used commands from this guide, but this method doesn't work.
This error happens because Amazon Linux doesn't include most multimedia libs including ffmpeg, Pulse and so on. You need to add CentOS repos, which contain these missing packages.



I had the same error and this is how I dealt with it.





  1. Create repo-file where you should include CentOS repos of proper version.This is important!
    If your AMI EPEL repos have 6th version, then use CentOS 6. If 7th, then CentOS 7.
