Video library archlinux libsoup errors

Processing Libraries
1

Greetings.

Example video library sketches (Capture and Movie) all fail to run on archlinux with conflicting libsoup2 & libsoup3. I’d like to get them working, but cannot find a fix like here: Cant install gintro on Arch. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported. · Issue #190 · StefanSalewski/gintro · GitHub

Files exist on the up-to-date system, tested on Processing 4.3. This is the actual error:

Try removing all the GStreamer native libraries to rely on the system installed version instead - see https://github.com/processing/processing-video/blob/main/src/processing/video/Video.java#L88

Thanks, still does not work. Gstreamer system wide version on my sys: 1.22.5-2

I tried removing ~/sketchbook/libraries/video/library/linux-amd64/gstreamer-1.0, now more linking errors.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

The solution is to locate the system library libsoup and relink version 2 to version 3. This is a known issue but not an actual problem with Processing itself.

If you encounter issues with libraries that come with the Processing Video library complaining about certain files, try backing them up by moving them elsewhere from the folder libraries/video/library/linux-amd64/. Optionally, manually relink new ones there.

It can be quite challenging work, I must say. Processing still throws half a dozen errors about libraries and missing symbols, but sketches are now runnable.
