Solved ffmpeg install new version built with poudriere, remove old version and dependencies first

NapoleonWils0n · Dec 15, 2024

i just built ffmpeg with poudriere

to enable the SRT option to use with obs studio
for low latency streaming

SRT Protocol Streaming Guide | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

obsproject.com

the poudriere repos has a higher precedence than the freebsd repo
as per the handbook

im running 14.2 quarterly
and the poudriere jail is running 14.2 ports HEAD
is that an issue

however ffmpeg is already installed
and i cant figure out how to upgrade to the new version of ffmpeg built with poudriere

Code:

pkg update -f
pkg upgrade

Code:

pkg info ffmpeg

Code:

Version        : 6.1.2_4,1

Code:

pkg search ffmpeg

Code:

ffmpeg-6.1.2_4,1               Realtime audio/video encoder/converter and streaming server
ffmpeg-6.1.2_6,1               Realtime audio/video encoder/converter and streaming server

i have ffmpeg 6.1.2_4,1 from the freebsd repos installed
and want to install ffmpeg-6.1.2_6,1 built with poudriere

running pkg remove ffmpeg

Code:

pkg remove ffmpeg

will also remove all these packages

Code:

do you have to remove the currently installed version of ffmpeg
and all the above packages

then install ffmpeg built with poudriere
and reinstall all the packages you removed

i was going to set up a new boot environment, and boot into it
then at the tty before i log into the desktop

remove ffmpeg and the installed packages above
then install the new version of ffmpeg and reinstall the packages

or is there a better way that im missing

ffmpeg poudriere set up
