Add path.alternate setting so users can append to PATH inside gpodder.
#1649
Conversation
This should make it easier to use ffmpeg and other utilities that are not installed in PATH. The Mac launcher does not honor the environment PATH, making it impossible to override.

I’ve never used the command line version but if I run it it does come up with an error:-

Hi all
I still haven’t figured out the correct way to enter the path on my mac. Here is what I have copied into my settings.json file:
"alternate": "/Users/benjaminblatter/Downloads/ffmpeg-master-latest-linuxarm64-gpl/bin/"
Do I need the „slash” at the end?
The ultimate goal for me is to get finally audio .m4a files which doesn’t have issues like taking long until they play when I open them in VLC.
Is there a way to check if Gpodder even recognizes the ffmpeg?
How can one add the ffmpeg with the GUI?
I also tried the non-arm linux version, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Thanks for your help.

Hi @auouymous I see it was related to the gpo issue and thp already mentioned DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. |

@computerfreak105 are your settings a valid json file (you have a comma (',') before the snippet you showed us).? |
No, remove the trailing slash. |

@computerfreak105 And if you run gpodder with -v the log file should contain a line such as "Appending alternate PATH ..." if the config is good.

Thanks, auouymous, for your great idea. I’ll do this as soon as possible.

The audio_converter extension uses ffmpeg to convert audio files. You could enable it, change use_ogg from false to true in settings, subscribe to https://feeds.libsyn.com/177941/rss and download an episode. If it converts to ogg then you know ffmpeg is working. Be sure to disable that extension when finished.

Auouymous, how can one start the Audio converter extension from CLI. I can’t do it with the GUI because it’s probably listed on the next screen page in the settings and pressing page down on my keyboard doesn’t do anything.
So, I tried “extension enable audio_converter” and get the message “Need at least one of the following comands: avconv, ffmpeg).
When I enter “extension enable audio_converter ffmpeg” I get (Wrong argument count for extensions).
How can I specify the ffmpeg? I tried several things like /ffmpeg but it won’t accept.
Thanks.

@computerfreak105 You don't specify ffmpeg, all you need is Can you provide a directory listing for your alternate path location? |
|
@auouymous,
thanks for that, I had no idea ...
I have a mac version with working GPO – or maybe it’s just that you have to run the GPO wich is in the MacOS folder of the package. I prepared everything and could enable the extension on my mac over CLI. But my work didn’t allow me to do the real interesting thing and download something in .ogg with your provided channel. I’ll do that as soon I can. I’m afraid it will about Wednesday or so because my workload is quite big, which isn’t a bad thing of course :-)
Thanks anyway and I’ll report soon.

@computerfreak105 <https://github.com/computerfreak105> You don't specify ffmpeg, all you need is extension enable audio_converter to enable the extension. It searches path for a file named ffmpeg or avconv. It also accepts bat or exe extensions on Windows, which I assume you are using since gpo doesn't yet work on Mac. I just checked and gpo -v displays the "Appending alternate PATH: /home/test/bin" message on command line.
Can you provide a directory listing for your alternate path location?

@auouymous and anyone with Gpodder on mac Since I’m under the impression that GPO works under mac (because I can open it and do things like subscribing and importing .opml files), I tried one more time on my mac and enabled the audio converter plugin to check if it’s really working, with your provided podcast link. Unfortunately I get .mp3 and not .ogg files. So the path in the settings.json probably isn’t set correctly? I tried both yt-dlp based ffmpeg versions, Arm and just Linux. Here is what I get when I start GPO with -v option.

The alternate path is working in your gpo. I thought maybe you had reverted to an older version because you said gpo was not working in #1646 (comment), but it appears to just be a warning and only syncing will have issues. Could you provide the output after you download one of the mp3 episodes?
I didn't see the settings, did you send them? |

Ah, sorry, I changed locations of ffmpeg in order to avoid a long path with potential for failure.
Here I did a 2nd test, the one with ffmpeg 1 is with normal linux version, the ffmpeg 2 for ARM processor.

I used the ffmpeg version suggested by
@Ploddles
https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds
and he also wrote me that I should use just the non-arm version.
But I guess both don’t seem to be made for my Mac Silicon M1.
Is there already an ffmpeg version for arm based Macs? Or should I just follow these steps here?

Audio converter is working, however, ffmpeg was built for a different processor. Do you know if /Users/ffmpeg2/bin/ffmpeg is the same file located in /Users/benjaminblatter/Downloads/ffmpeg/bin? You either have another ffmpeg that it found in another path, or they are linked together.

Hi auouymous!
You struck gold. I installed the homebrew ffmpeg and could confirm with the audio_converter extension that it was running and converting files to .ogg. Now I made tests with my youtube channels and it’s really working. My .m4a files of youtube livestreams are playing correctly now and don’t need a long time to open anymore. I’ll try to find my issue “Maybe corrupted .m4a when downloading livestreams (Issue #1646)”. This could be closed now.
Thank you and all others which helped me in some way to fix my problem!

Homebrew has an apple silicon build of ffmpeg. After installing homebrew, you should be able to run brew install ffmpeg, figure out what directory it put the ffmpeg binary in, and use that as the alternate path in gpodder.
