Hello,

I have a problem. When I use assistant, kdenlive show me avformat (ffmepg) module isn't installed. But i have installed it. So i don't know how to configure kdelive in order to say it where is avformat module.

Are you sure MLT is properly installed?

t seems there are not broken lib
What should i do?

Does 'melt -query producers' show avformat in the list it returns?
Maybe you have an old version of mlt somewhere that you installed manually.

avformt isn't in the list:

~$ melt -query producers
---
producers:
- xml
- xml-string
- qimage
- kdenlivetitle
- kino
- melt
- melt_file
- slowmotion
- pango
- pixbuf
- pgm
- abnormal
- color
- colour
- consumer
- loader
- hold
- noise
- ppm
- framebuffer
- frei0r.ising0r
- frei0r.lissajous0r
- frei0r.nois0r
- frei0r.onecol0r
- frei0r.partik0l
- frei0r.plasma
- vorbis
- libdv
...

I never install manually melt. I used apt-get. There is only one version of melt:

# dpkg -l | grep melt
ii melt 1:0.5.4-0.1 command line media player and video editor

and

# dpkg -l | grep avformat
ii libavformat52 5:0.5+svn20100208-0.1 ffmpeg file format library

Are you sure you use mlt and ffmpeg (libavformat) from the same repository? Because there seems to be something broken with your MLT install

This is very strange because it should be showing the avformat producer since ldd output is fine. I have little more to offer other than upgrade the ffmpeg libs and mlt packages as upgrades become available, and it might straighten itself out. FFmpeg 0.6 just came out and MLT 0.5.6 was just release, so this should be happening sometime soon hopefully. You can also try uninstalling mlt, locate any stray melt or mlt files just to be sure, and then try reinstalling mlt.

No, but you might try disabling SELinux and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, someone needs to debug with gdb or strace.

Please ddennedy can you or some one on the Kdenlive dev team add this one simple line to the pages about installing and compiling Kdenlive?

I have wasted days installing, reinstalling, internet searches, and repeating all of this over and over again.

When all I needed is this one simple CLI command to find out what lib links were broken.

Of all my time using Kdenlive, and from what I've seen on my internet searches, the "missing" avformat in the Config Wizard has to be one of the most common if not frustrating issues with getting Kdenlive up and running.

In terms of missing lib links, the Config Wizard message is just plain inadequate. Ordinary users (non programmers) just don't have a clue as to where to begin with fixing this.

Also please consider adding a more verbose error reporting with the Config Wizard to help people out. Kdenlive would have to be the most difficult piece of software I've ever had to install on Linux. But once installed, it is fantastic software. Adding more verbose configuration error output would make it outstanding and help with its uptake.
