Hey! Sorry for not seeing this sooner, I wasn't notified at all (and the holidays were pretty busy).

Looks like CentOS 8 changed a few things which broke our default dependency installer for FFmpeg. I'll do some testing and modify the installer script.

Following as I get a similar issue on CentOS 8

@craigusus This will be addressed when Plexus v2 releases soon :) The error is caused by the dependency installer part of the installation. You can get around this issue by manually installing FFmpeg on CentOS 8 and installing Plexus like this:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wolveix/Plexus/master/plexus 2>/dev/null
chmod u+x plexus
mv plexus /usr/bin/plexus

[craigusus]

@wolveix Thanks for the quick response. Tried the above and seems to be working well!
I did look at #21 after I posted and saw you were still working on it. Thanks again!

[wolveix]

@craigusus No worries! I'm glad that it's working for you. A lot of other work has come up recently which has sadly taken away from the time that I had hoped to use to focus on development of v2. Hopefully it won't be too much longer :)

[wolveix]

Hey @gorgarp, mind giving this a test if you have a minute?

[gorgarp]

No worries, let me fire up a VM.

[gorgarp]

No love.

So the problem could be fixed (tedious but...)

grep out centos version the add

Centos 8 == sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8.noarch.rpm && sudo dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools

Centos 7 == sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-7.noarch.rpm

Or... we can trash RPM auto install and tell them to take their butts to RPMfusion ahead of time ;)

[gorgarp]

I'll keep the VM for a day or two. Just @ me if you want me to test something.

[wolveix]

Haha, thanks for testing! It was a half-assed implementation. It's almost 04:00 here, so I'll spend some time sorting something decent out tomorrow :)

[gorgarp]

Lol yeah I was thinking that it's pretty late.

Could be worse, could be in the US where idiots refuse to believe COVID is real and kill us all shrug.

Thank god we are in IT and can hide in the basement :)

EDIT my wife says or have a cheeto as a leader..... (Cheetos? Do you have them in the UK?)
