Failed to load FFMPEG

[LauraWebdev]

Describe the bug

When starting a new project and dragging the playhead, the application displays the error "Failed to render frame". No visuals are seen and restarting displays a "Make sure ffmpeg is installed" error.

To Reproduce

• Open Beutl
• Create a new document
• Drag the playhead

Expected behavior

The application should render frames.

Beutl version

1.0.0-preview.10

OS

Linux

Additional context

I am running Nobara / Fedora 40. I can confirm that ffmpeg is available through the commandline.

laura@laura-pc:~$ which ffmpeg
/usr/bin/ffmpeg

[LauraWebdev]

To clarify: I have also followed the instructions of https://github.com/b-editor/beutl-docs/blob/main/en/get-started/ffmpeg-install.md and installed FFMPEG through the configuration tool. This fixed the "Setup ffmpeg" error at startup but still gives me trouble with the video preview.

[yuto-trd]

It seems likely that the error is due to a missing libOpenCvSharpExtern.so.
The Beutl-linux-x64-1.0.0-preview.10.zip I’ve provided is not guaranteed to work on all Linux-based OSes; it only works with Ubuntu 22.04 or related OS versions, such as Zorin OS 17. I’m unsure if it will work on your OS, but you might try building and installing the library by following the instructions provided here.
