Let's have a pause and take a look where we are right now, since there seems to be a lot of people posting comments and trying to help.

rupeshforu3, can you list the things you've done since starting this topic, so we can keep track of what you've already done?

--enable opencl
--enable opengl
--enable libaom
--enable AMF
--enable gnutils
Etc.,

Doing manual compilation like this one (outside of portage) will not automatically include the compile optimization settings (CFLAGS, CPU_FLAGS_*, etc) or anything set in make.conf. The easiest way is to use portage (emerge) and let it apply your settings to ffmpeg compilation process.

Looks like all the 7.x versions have been masked.

Code: Select all

# Leonardo Hernández Hernández <leohdz172@proton.me> (2024-07-07)
# New major ffmpeg version. Tracker bug #928905.
>=media-video/ffmpeg-7.0

... and the mentioned bug.

So there are at least four packages which aren't (yet) compatible with ffmpeg-7.

Easiest route: stick to ffmpeg-6 until mask is lifted from 7.

If you really need ffmpeg-7: unmask it (via /etc/portage/package.unmask). If you do this, and something else breaks, you know why.

emerge -S isn't the best search, it will "hide" things that are masked. Personally I prefer eix

^^ this makes more sense when you see it in colour^^

or, if you just want a version check, you can look for yourself where the ebuilds are stored

Thanks for your suggestions and I have installed gentoo linux from the beginning with your valuable suggestions and at present everything is working fine.

Nice

this post has helped me a little today, I think the main problems are with kodi and vlc for quite a while some time

so, take a look at that post, there are things that have to do with what has been mentioned about the schedulers, it might interest you.

execution of ffmpeg is taking more time in gentoo than other

let's pause
