Avidemux 2.8.2 development

[eumagga0x2a]

With the current nightly build, the error message no longer appears; instead, the app crashes and freezes.

This is https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php?msg=98711, related to the libavcodec-based AC3 encoder. NVENC-based video encoders are working for you now, aren't they?

Yes, I can confirm, without AVX and AVX2 for AC3 audio, I can encode nvenc HEVC again with the current nightly build!

Hello,

I found a bug in the AppRun script of the Linux AppImage (tested on Avidemux-x86_64_20261009.AppImage with debian 13 Trixie Cinammon desktop ) that prevents opening files via the command line or file manager context menus ("Open With...").

At the end of the AppRun script, the binaries are executed using the ${args} like this:

Code Select Expand

else "${HERE}/usr/bin/avidemux3_portable" "${args[@]}"

However, ${args} is never initialized or defined anywhere earlier in the script. As a result, ${args} is always empty and any arguments passed to the AppImage ($1, $2, etc.) are lost.

I fixed this by adding the missing initialization right at the beginning of the script (line 2):

Code Select Expand

args=("$@")

- Could you please update the AppRun template in the build system to include this initialization so that arguments are properly forwarded to the Avidemux binaries?

- Could you also modify the execution command in the `avidemux.desktop` launcher file—setting it to Exec=avidemux_portable %U so that the path to the video file to be opened is passed to AppRun ?


Thank you for your time and for this great software ! I use avidemux since long time ago
