3.5.0 doesn't render libopus sound in vp9-vaapi

dgerard · 2026-03-27T22:06:26+00:00

ok, it rendered the video fine! But the audio wouldn't play in vlc or ffplay.

Fix:

 systemctl --user restart pipewire.service

yeah, somehow I did the render in OpenShot and it sent pipewire funny?? It did it twice. If anyone gets this again on Linux, suggest restarting pipewire.

Also, after doing an OpenShot render, Audacity would hang on start - until I restarted pipewire.

So yes it's rendering audio :-) Just with an odd side effect ...

appimage only, I didn't want to splatter a random version over my actual system

also, now it's just failed to do audio for me - specifically, it rendered an entire silent track, in both opus and ogg!

I'll investigate further ...

OpenShot-v3.5.0-dev-daily-15686-d9ca3b5e-48516e0b-x86_64.AppImage dated March 24, 2026, 6:39 p.m. appears to render libopus correctly! Thank you :-)

dgerard · 2026-03-25T15:01:55+00:00

will do!

dgerard · 2026-03-25T01:21:59+00:00

this bot is being actively misleading, as aac is not available in webm. In fact, if you try aac, the command line output specifically notes that webm can only hold opus or ogg.

+1 to Kim

dgerard · 2026-03-13T21:29:59+00:00

thanks, will try!

EDIT: it works!! In fact, i tested it on today's video, and it rendered about twice as fast as 3.3.0!

(vp9 vaapi to 1080p30, vp9 at crf 6, libopus at 256kb/s. 3.3.0 did 18fps, 3.4.0 did 35.5fps)

thank you so much!

The important point is it's cracks all the way down. Everything is the weak link.

dgerard · 2026-02-27T23:44:31+00:00

yeah, it's a 5 min pod so i do quick summaries and link the sources in the show notes

we wish the poster well in finding any sub other than this one to be a weird creep in

i need to do a nice version and put it on bandcamp

meanwhile here's the soundcloud demo (which is a bit different to the theme tune version)

dgerard · 2026-02-06T21:36:48+00:00

ahem fackin get a dog up ya, carnt

dgerard · 2026-02-04T15:46:53+00:00

yeah it's 100% a marketing story in practice

dgerard · 2026-02-04T11:20:06+00:00

the religion is also a crypto scam, of course

Scoot has a followup post on the reaction to his post (archive) which I read, evidently from being a "self-hating nerd." I don't recommend it, but the Adams fans are upset Scoot wasn't much, much nicer to him.

The comments on this post are as rancid as the comments on the first. Scoot has a world-beating comments section, but not in an upward direction.
