I am trying to run the Appimage on Linux Mint. I have ffmpeg installed and a regular install of Audacity from a deb finds it. But The Appimage cannot find it. Anyone have a solution?
I have libavformat.so on my systen but the Appimage does not recognize it. Same for a file called ffmpeg.
Same issue here: 3.6.2 AppImage on Kubuntu 24.04.1.
Audacity does not recognize any of the libavformat*.so on my system, and ‘which ffmpeg’ yields ‘/usr/bin/ffmpeg’ which Audacity does not recognize either.
There’s a script that’s supposed to get ffmpeg installed on an Audacity AppImage 3.0.3, but the script is 3 years old and I’m not comfortable trying to run it possibly installing old versions of the packages it references.
So it would seem to be a problem with several distros. You would think thing the Audacity folks would have discovered this issue when testing. Hopefully someone will have an answer.
And same problem with 3.6.1.
Right now my workaround is to use the flatpak which does recognize ffmpeg.
Just tried with 3.6.3 Appimage and it still does not find ffmpeg.
