Hi,

I’m trying to use the AppImage on Ubuntu (tried bionic and focal) and it seems to want libavformat.so.55 which is super old and is not available in any recent versions of ubuntu. Is this an oversight?

Thanks

No, it’s a limitation that will hopefully be addressed soon. The issue is logged here: AppImage fails to load FFmpeg · Issue #1201 · audacity/audacity · GitHub
