Simple Screen Recorder doesn't work on the latest release of openSUSE Tumbleweed

mastionolsatu opened this issue · 9 comments

I am an openSUSE user and use Simple Screen Recorder for my educational video creation. Unfortunately now Simple Screen Recorder doesn't work on the latest release of openSUSE Tumbleweed. And unfortunately also when I want to go back to the old release it always fails to install so the choice is to keep using the latest release or I change to another distro. But I already like openSUSE so waiting for a fix for this problem is my choice.

My thanks to the developer and I'm waiting for good news from you.

What isn't working? It works here on my Tumbleweed install, I haven't had any issues. I've been using it fairly regularly for over a year.

Not sure if OP has same issue, but i face same issue where Simple Screen Recorder does not load.
I get the following error about suitable container after i run the app.

For me, ssr-glinject just segfaults on Tumbleweed:

> ssr-glinject echo                                
ssr-glinject: LD_PRELOAD = :libssr-glinject.so
ssr-glinject: command = echo

Error: Could not find any suitable container in libavformat!

Do you have a functional version of ffmpeg installed?

For me, ssr-glinject just segfaults on Tumbleweed:

ssr-glinject also started failing on Arch Linux at some point due to changes to the way the loader works, this may be the same thing. I have a partial fix but it hasn't been released yet because it's still somewhat broken. Does SSR itself work?

Does SSR itself work?

Yes, I can record the full screen just fine

I've been told that the latest git edition avoid the segfault and suspect it might be due to 83b8f9f . Perhaps give it a try?

I just stumbled into the Tumbleweed update issue as well. I think it was still working in Jan 2024, so I don't know exactly why others had this issue earlier. I have a suspicion about the _SUSE suffixes in the version names (but I am clueless).

Running the previously installed version, I get these errors:

simplescreenrecorder: /usr/local/lib/libavutil.so.58: version `LIBAVUTIL_58.2_SUSE' not found (required by simplescreenrecorder)
simplescreenrecorder: /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.60: version `LIBAVCODEC_60.3_SUSE' not found (required by simplescreenrecorder)
simplescreenrecorder: /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.60: version `LIBAVFORMAT_60.3_SUSE' not found (required by simplescreenrecorder)
simplescreenrecorder: /usr/local/lib/libswscale.so.7: version `LIBSWSCALE_7.1_SUSE' not found (required by simplescreenrecorder)

and checking for the libs reveals

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan  5 13:59 /usr/local/lib/libavutil.so.58 -> libavutil.so.58.36.101*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan  5 13:59 /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.60 -> libavcodec.so.60.37.100*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jan  5 13:59 /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.60 -> libavformat.so.60.20.100*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jan  5 13:59 /usr/local/lib/libswscale.so.7 -> libswscale.so.7.6.100*

I'm clueless what this means and how to debug it. The right library version seems to be available, but the _SUSE suffix may cause trouble? Can someone explain me?

I just tried to compile it from the repo, but that complains about

I'll try to figure out how to fix that... I want this great tool back!

My libavutil.so.85 is from pacman as yast2 just revealed. Crazy enough, starting yast2 gives another message
dlopen: /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.60: version `LIBAVCODEC_60.3_SUSE' not found (required by /usr/libexec/libheif/libheif-ffmpegdec.so). I guess something is messed up with the package sources?

I suspect this issue is fixed by 83b8f9f, see also #947 .
