Hi,
FFmpeg 2.8 is now sitting in ClearOS7 contribs-repo ready to be used by everyone who would like.
I have also build it for ClearOS 6 and tested it together with Serviio. However, before releasing it to the public in ClearOS 6, I would very much like if some Plex "poweruser" could test FFmpeg 2.8 together with Plex and make sure that nothing is broken.
Do this in a "test-environment" of yours:
As root, create a link to a new repo (This repo is new and it is in this repo everything(?) from now on ends up when building in the new Koji system that belongs to ClearOS):
Create a new file on your system:
Location: /etc/yum.repo.d/
Filename: Anything you like, but it needs to end with ".repo". Lets say you call it clearos-koji.repo
File content:
This repo is using compression, something that ClearOS 6 yum does not comes enabled with by default, so you need to install this package:
After these steps, since you already have Plex and FFmpeg installed, a simple update (with the new repo temporarily enabled) should do update FFmpeg for you:
1. Please note if something does not update as it should, report any problems here.
2. Please test by transcoding & playing local files with Plex, report any problems here.
Regards,
Fred

yum update --enablerepo=clearos-koji
