Audacity not recognising ffmpeg-shared

[southisup]

As subject. I'm almost certain it used to work, but now only avformat-60.dll is present and Audacity silently ignores that when pointed at it, simply continuing to report library not found. Any ideas?

Everything is ok!

• Audacity 3.1 and later supports avformat-55.dll, avformat-57.dll and avformat-58.dll. Audacity 3.2 and later supports also avformat-59.dll. You can check which dll is in which FFmpeg release here.
• Make sure you download full FFmpeg copies, not just the avformat-*.dll's individually. Further, make sure to download or build the shared versions as only those contain .dll's.
• Different versions of FFmpeg may have different codecs enabled in them. In particular, AMR (narrowband) is not featured in the recommended installer.

Audacity 3.2 and later supports also avformat-59.dll.

So that means scoop main bucket's ffmpeg-shared is incompatibly ahead of extra bucket's audacity? Is there a documented way in scoop to mitigate this?

Install older version of ffmpeg-shared: scoop install ffmpeg-shared@5.1.2

OR create a manifest for https://lame.buanzo.org/ffmpeg.php . if you do so, I recommend that you also submit it to versions bucket.

Thanks. the @5.1.2 option works for me, although not until I first uninstalled the current version.
