libmediainfo and GNUTLS.so.4

[nodupe]

Hi,

I know nixos is not one of the supported OSs, but I believe my question could apply also to other people.

Is there a way I can tell filebot where to search for the libraries on the cli? I mostly use filebot in scripts to rename files, and I am wondering if there is a flag or option I could use. I'm pretty sure I've seen a very old post ( that I can't find right now ) with such a flag, but I have no clue if it exists still.
The version of libmediainfo that ships with filebot seems to not like GNUTLS.so.4.

If I can set the flag to load another libmediainfo version, shipped by the OS I hope the issue may be solved...

Thank you in advance

The TAR package includes a libmediainfo.so binary that is compatible with typical Linux distributions, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. If you're using something more unusual then you will need to provide the native dependencies for your specific platform.

NixOS presumably provides a compatible mediainfo package so it might be as easy as installing that, and possibly replacing the included libmediainfo.so binary with one specifically compiled and linked for your platform. Simply deleting the built-in libmediainfo.so might just do the trick so that the system will default to loading libmediainfo.so from elsewhere. The library search path is defined in the filebot.sh launcher so you can also edit that to fit your needs.

Thank you for the quick reply. This is what I will try to do, but it means on the world of nixos, repackaging filebot for my environment. Not something impossible, but requires some work. I was wondering if there was a short path ( point the cli to the lib I needed). It seems it is not possible.

Thanks the same. In case of success I will document how I've done it here, so other users can benefit.

Simply deleting the built-in libmediainfo.so might just do the trick so that the system will default to loading libmediainfo.so from elsewhere:

Shell: Select all

rm -v /nix/store/0yp7i7xhphlzv4v22gd5fspg7a989k08-filebot-5.1.7/opt/lib/Linux-x86_64/libmediainfo.so

The system will then search through the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH by default.

Hi,

I've sent a patch to the package upstream that did just what you proposed (deleting libmediainfo.so), and replacing it with the "native" one from the OS. It is still to be checked by the maintainers, but it works for me. I'm adding here the link for my file, in case it may help other nixos users: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/412423/files
Thank you again!
