[SOLVED] Falkon libx265 missing

drgibbon · 06-20-2021, 03:54 AM

I noticed after a recent update that Falkon fails to launch, with this error:

Code:

falkon: error while loading shared libraries: libx265.so.192: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I do have x265 installed from SBo, but adding/removing it seems to have no effect. I'm not sure why Falkon would be looking for it though?

I think it looks to it most probably through ffmpeg: might it be that you are running a custom ffmpeg built against x265-3.4 (the version shipping libx265.so.192)?
x265-3.5 ships libx265.so.199 instead.

Of course, yes I forgot I was custom compiling ffmpeg!

That was the culprit, thanks ponce.
