 Post subject: MKV Encoder Not Working

Has anyone else been having problems with Encode to MKV jobs failing after a recent update? I have.

I've gone back through and traced out each step in the process of myth2mkv (because the log was of no help other than telling me it failed to generate the tag file) and traced it back to mkvpropedit, which gives this error when I run it:

/usr/bin/mkvpropedit: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_regex.so.1.57.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The boost libraries currently included in the repository are version 1.60.0. Should I try to find 1.57 and revert back to them to fix my issue? Should mkvpropedit be modified somehow to use 1.60? Should I try symlinking the 1.60 file to the 1.57.0 name and see what happens? Advice would be appreciated, and if someone can fix this upstream sooner or later, that would be great!

EDIT: Trying the symlink thing. What I got back from the command line when I tried after symlinking was unintelligible, so I decided to run an encoding job to see whether it actually does anything.'
EDIT 2: Symlinking the new version of the libs to the old file name does NOT work.

Temporarily solved the issue by:

Downgrading boost-libs to 1.57.0-4
Downgrading icu to 55.1-1

But really, mkvtoolnix-cli (and probably also mkvtoolnix-gtk) needs to be fixed to work with the versions of these packages currently in the repository.

Update: Downgrading icu actually broke the frontend.

So I backed up my 'old version' .so files, upgraded the packages, and copied the old files back to the libs directory. Trying another encoding now to see if it will actually work this way.

I have updated mkvtoolnix-cli in testing:
Code:
sudo pacman -U http://linhes.org/repo/x86_64/extra-testing/mkvtoolnix-cli-9.1.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Let me know if it works and I will push to release.

Looks like some deps need to be updated to so you will have to switch to the testing repos to pick them up. They are not up right now but will be shortly.

I get a 404 on that package, and the new version doesn't show up after adding the extra-testing repository to pacman.conf either.

Keeping both versions of the libs on my machine seems to be making everything work for now, though.

Yes that package was replaced with a newer one. You have to change the extra repo to extra-testing then pacman -Syu

Try changing extra to extra-testing. Having both is probably defaulting to finding them in the first source which is extra and then ignoring extra-testing. Then do a pacman -Syyy.

Oh, okay. Didn't sink in that it actually needed to be replaced for some reason.

Yup, the updated version seems to be working.

Sorry about the delayed response, I set the conversion to start right before I went to bed then forgot about it for a couple of days.

Thanks for reporting back. I have pushed this to release. You can change your repo back to extra if you wish.
