![]() ![]() The changes I made yesterday were to the alpha Manual, the Manual for the upcoming 3.2.2 - so you will not see the changes until the next release is made. That’s because the Manual that the Muse GitBook site points at is the released Manual for 3.2.1 - even though it mistakenly declares itself to be 3.3 (that’s a mistake that will be fixed for the upcoming 3.2.2). I may write an enhancement request for that.īut why is it that when I go to the main page, but select Help > Help Center > Manual > ffmpeg import/export > Mac > Installing FFmpeg for Mac, that I am directed to the now obsolete documentation with no option to locate the correct instructions? You can get there from the Audacity Website or even the manual (I don’t know if the Discord support app/site as I don’t subscribe there, I haven’t the time to do so).Īnd note that the app (still) links to the Manual, but there is no similar link in Audacity’s Help for the GitBook Audacity Support. ![]() IMO it’s not actually very well advertised, the access to the GitBook. So Peter, I can find the support page you refer to by going to the Audacity main web page, selecting Help > Help Center > then selecting the FFmpeg Installing FFmpeg how-to tutorial below. This enhancement request is that it makes much more sense for the app to be chanhed so the the FFmmpeg Download button link goes direct to the GitBook page:įlagging as the Muse person responsible for documentatioin Therefore in the short term I plan to pro tem remove the information in the Manual's pages and replace those with a link to the GitBook page. Since the Manual is planned to be deprecated and superseded by the GitBook support site - and given that the GitBook site already has FFmpeg download information for all three platforms - it makes no sense to maintain the information in both places. The user should not be sent to the Manual from this link, nor be sent to this link via the Manual.Ĭurrently the Manual has pages with information on FFmpeg download, it is suspected (from a Forum post) that this not kept up to date. The FFmpeg **Download** link from Libraries prefs should link to … the GitBook page: If the Muse instructions on that GitBook page are faulty or erroneous then you would need to log that as a bug on Muse’s GitHub Issue tracker: GitHub And then Muse is responsible for maintaining that. Since Muse’s plan is ultimately to deprecate the Manual, removing it in favor of the GitBook support site I think that rather than struggling to keep the instructions in the Manual up to date I may just link from the Manual to that GitBook page. Please see: Installing FFmpeg - Audacity Support I have fixed that for the upcoming 3.2.2 Manual.īUT - note that these pages in the Manual are now officially superseded by the new GitBook documentation that Muse have provided. I changed that long ago on the Windows download FFmpeg page removing the advice about not left-clicking - but somehow I forgot to do that for the Mac download FFmpeg page. to see diagnostic information about FFmpeg detection.When I go to the Audacity site here: Installing FFmpeg for Mac, it says to left-click, not right-click, although when I right-click to open in a new tab or window so I can keep the instructions on the page and that seems to work - so why does it say this? So I get to the Buanzo site and click over all of the lame stuff, which is apparently obsolete. You can also choose Help > Diagnostics > Show Log. button to obtain the correct library for your operating system. If you still see "not found", you may have installed the wrong libraries. Click Open then OK and OK again to close Preferences.įFmpeg Library Version should now show a set of three version numbers for the sub-libraries of FFmpeg ("F" for libavformat version, "C" for libavcodec version and "U" for libavutil version).Navigate to the folder that contains FFmpeg, and select the file avformat-55.dll.If the " Locate FFmpeg" dialog appears, click Browse.If a " Success" message indicates Audacity has now automatically detected valid FFmpeg libraries and asks if you want to detect them manually, click No, then OK to close Preferences.To do this, access Preferences then the "Libraries" tab on the left:Īs seen in the image above, the "FFmpeg Library Version" will say "not found". If you installed FFmpeg while Audacity was running, or if you installed FFmpeg to a non-default location, Audacity will ask you to configure Preferences to locate the FFmpeg library. ![]()
