2.8.1 does not open audio files in Ubuntu 24.04

[sebigbos]

Hi,

I get the message demuxer not foung if I try to open or add any audio file. Is there some package missing?

Please help!

edit: I just installed avidemux on an old win7 64-bit, the same version, 2.8.1. It is the same here!

Avidemux is not supposed to be able to load audio-only files via File -> Open. It can use raw audio streams (signed integer 16- and 24-bit wav, mp2, mp3, ac3, eac3, ADTS-encapsulated aac, but not audio-only MP4 containers) via Audio -> Select Track as an external audio track.

Please update to the latest 2.8.2 nightly, 2.8.1 release is extremely outdated (yes, there haven't been a release since, but a lot of bugfixes).

Sorry and thanks, I got that, and I could load the 2nd audio via audio/select track...

Please update to the latest 2.8.2 nightly, 2.8.1 release is extremely outdated (yes, there haven't been a release since, but a lot of bugfixes).

I use this ppa: xtradeb. Doesn't it contain the actual version of avidemux? And if I use the nightly build, will I get furthermore avidemux-updates from xtradeb?

I use this ppa: xtradeb. Doesn't it contain the actual version of avidemux?

No, xtradeb packages the last release which is 2.8.1. By all means, no third-party builds like those from xtradeb are supported here.

if I use the nightly build, will I get furthermore avidemux-updates from xtradeb?

No.

Instead of depending on sporadically uploaded official nightlies, you could consider building Avidemux from git master yourself.
