OpenShot Video Editor

Openshot-1.3.0 not working on Fedora 14

Asked by amit_ahire

I am trying to install openshot 1.3 from yesterday. After doing everything I could do and searching the whole web. I am finally asking this. I downloaded the source and installed it from there and then installed the mlt libs too ( but not sure whether I have python binding or not). finally I found this debug scripts and I dont what to understand what to do with it. So will just give you the out of that debug file. Help will be appreciated.

Downloads]$ sudo python debug.py

OpenShot Debug File 0.0.2 - 2011-04-17 16:37:15.300416

This file contains a list of installed packages related to OpenShot,
locations of files, and a list of shared libraries used by python-mlt.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "debug.py", line 45, in <module>
    process = subprocess.Popen(["dpkg","-l","openshot", "libmlt1", "libmlt2", "python-mlt", "python-mlt2", "openshot-mlt"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1201, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Also here it seems like it was searching in /use/lib64, but i found the file in /usr/lib/...so i copied the openshot folder from lib to /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages but to no avail.

Well hope someone can help soon.

If you can not find an RPM of OpenShot 1.3, I would recommend installing one of the older versions of OpenShot, assuming you can find an RPM. This will install all the correct dependencies, such as MLT and the MLT Python bindings. Then, get the source code of version 1.3.0 (http://launchpad.net/openshot/1.3/1.3.0/+download/openshot-1.3.0.tar.gz), and start OpenShot manually:

python ~/openshot/bin/openshot

Good luck!

Hello,

i am the Openshot package maintainer for Fedora (via RPMFusion). It's currently available in the -testing repository for the standard 2 week waiting period until it drops into the standard repo.

If you don't already have RPMFusion*** installed go to:
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Once installed you can get openshot like this (as root):

yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing install openshot

Once it makes it to the standard repo the '--enablerepo' option will not be necessary.

*** I'm assuming you don't already have atrpms installed, another 3rd part repoistory site as they carry some of the same packages and can cause issues if you have them both enabled at the same time.

Can you help with this problem?
