Hello,
I was trying to install PeerTube and followed the guide on Ubuntu Server 22.04.1 LTS
yet got stuck at two spots.
The first beign unable to obtain certificate (later about that).
The second unable to launch the instance because of « Unknown codec libx264 in FFmpeg. »
I installed recent FFMpeg from repositories and actual encoding of x264 works just fine so why it complains about it puzzles me. Tried many things none worked… had to admit defeat here.
Does anyone knows what I am missing?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Can you display the output of ffmpeg -codecs | grep 264
Do you think you have multiple ffmpeg binaries installed on your system?
aeyesi@homeserver:~$ ffmpeg -codecs | grep 264

Sorry for the delay.
And … no I do not think I do, installed just this one with peertube.
You’re missing the libx264 encoder. How did you install ffmpeg? default one from ubuntu repository should include this encoder
Thank you @Chocobozzz for pointing that out, I should have realized,
I truly had some obscure version installed, reinstalled it and seems to run…
But the page is blank? I might have missed something, ill check later.
