Guide to get your Linux (Debian based) system set-up for .....

[keep_it_breezy]

Not really weird. ffmpeg really needs to be at version 7.x to understand this option. Looking at the ffmpeg repo you'll find that it was added in May '22 and is not available for the older releases.

I know this, that's why I asked for version info...

Anyone know how to get ccextractor to compile in Fedora please ive done all the rest of the required apps but cant get this to compile and cant find anything on the web about it

Hi PSXman_uk
Did you manage to succeed with this?

[Obo]

What exactly is the problem? What version of Fedora are you using? (I've succeded to compile it on MacOS, and that's usually harder to do than compiling on any Linux with quite current software.)

It will NOT compile on Fedora despite installing dependencies as recommended. It simply won't. My question was to PSXman_uk, primarily, to see if he needed further help;

I no longer have Devine installed, but I did find a solution for the last Fedora release which involves adding a repository which had a pre-compiled version of ccextracror and making symbolic links to libraries.
cc_extractor is rather poorly written to accept only a specific library version - later versions are ignored. See the problems: All those libraries are indeed installed - but later versions.

libcrypto - I don't see why that is needed; if it is indeed, then yes, libcrypto-1.1 is a poor dependency nowadays. Probably because of a libcurl dependency.

The same holds for liblept and tesseract-4 - these dependencies are definitely not bound to that version.

Here on my Mac it uses:

$ otool -L /opt/local/bin/ccextractor 
/opt/local/bin/ccextractor:
	/opt/local/lib/libgpac.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1345.120.2)
	/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.1.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.3.1)
	/opt/local/lib/libavcodec.58.dylib (compatibility version 58.0.0, current version 58.134.100)
	/opt/local/lib/libavformat.58.dylib (compatibility version 58.0.0, current version 58.76.100)
	/opt/local/lib/libavutil.56.dylib (compatibility version 56.0.0, current version 56.70.100)
	/opt/local/lib/libswscale.5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.9.100)
	/opt/local/lib/libleptonica.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libtesseract.5.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.4.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libarchive.13.dylib (compatibility version 21.0.0, current version 21.4.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 13.0.0, current version 13.0.0)

(As to devine: I do have it installed but don't use it anymore: the idea of a framework is great, and devine is a brilliant piece of software, but maintaining all the services from different repositories is a nightmare. I've ported everything I use to yt-dlp; not really better, but not the repository hell as with devine services.)

Hey fellas, thanks for Guide it is very much appreciated. I seem to be running into an issue, when i get to this point
----------------------------------------------------
#Testing the setup FFMpeg | MPV
----------------------------------------------------
Code:
ffmpeg -cenc_decryption_key 166634c675823c235a4a9446fad52e4d -i "https://media.axprod.net/TestVectors/v7-MultiDRM-SingleKey/Manifest_1080p.mpd" -c copy -f flv - | mpv -


Code:

ffmpeg -cenc_decryption_key 100b6c20940f779a4589152b57d2dacb -i "https://cdn.bitmovin.com/content/assets/art-of-motion_drm/mpds/11331.mpd" -c copy -f flv - | mpv -

I am receiving an error from each command

ffmpeg -cenc_decryption_key 166634c675823c235a4a9446fad52e4d -i "https://media.axprod.net/TestVectors/v7-MultiDRM-SingleKey/Manifest_1080p.mpd" -c copy -f flv - | mpv -

i get this as an error: Unrecognized option 'cenc_decryption_key'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found
[file] Reading from stdin...
Failed to recognize file format.

and from the 2nd command i get : Unrecognized option 'cenc_decryption_key'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found
[file] Reading from stdin...
Failed to recognize file format.

I've just managed to fall head first into this rabbit hole of info and am kind of tangled up. I've read a bunch of guides threads but i don't yet have the know-how to troubleshoot.

I might have jumped into this guide prematurely but I will appreciate any help.

Thanks so much!

Very weird - will you just run `ffmpeg` and say which version you're using (it will be the first line of output), e.g. :
