Try building with the official ffmpeg package (temporarily) installed.

Running ffmpeg -encoders 2>&1 | grep libx265 should print 2 lines. Maybe those encoders were not built into the custom ffmpeg.

See https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize: it shows you how to have a static ffmpeg version on your system which you can use just for ffmpeg-normalize, in case you don't want to uninstall your custom ffmpeg permanently.

I just did, and here's the error:

[vost#0:0 @ 0x59893c41ef00] Unknown encoder 'libx265'

I have a custom build of ffmpeg on my machine, so looks like this is the issue?

@periode: Strange. Cannot reproduce (in a clean chroot build environment).

Maybe build and install with the tests disabled. Then run for example ffmpeg-normalize test/test.mp4 -c:v libx265 from the src/ffmpeg-normalize-1.28.2 build directory.

The ffmpeg tests fail for me:

test/test.py ............F...F.F......                                                                                                                                                                                                  [100%]

Ok, I add python-tqdm to dependency list in 1.27.7-3

Hmm, I do not think that is correct; have you seen the docs below?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#depends "The depends array should list all direct first level dependencies even when some are already declared transitively. For instance, if a package foo depends on both bar and baz, and the bar package depends in turn on baz too, it will ultimately lead to undesired behavior if bar stops pulling in baz."

@ruahcra

As python-ffmpeg-progress-yield which is hard dependency, has python-tqdm , so it doesn't need to add it as dependency here.

Looks like missing a dependency on tqdm

https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/blob/master/requirements.txt

I fixed building the package by one of the two steps I did: - removed ffmpeg-normalize before building a new version - re-installed python-ffmpeg-progress-yield
