FFmpeg version issue in Ubuntu

[gu021]

OS: Ubuntu 22.0.4
python: 3.10
virtual env: miniconda
ffmpeg: 7.1.1
open CV: 4.11
av == 14.2.0
torchvision == 0.21.0
av and torchvision were default. After update to above version, they gave the same result.

Issue: In order to record video, newest FFmpeg is a must since certain encoder is used. When I do the following command:

pip install --no-binary=av -e ".[feetech]"

or

pip install --no-binary=av -e .

Terminal gave the same output as follow, which indicate: " error: ‘AV_OPT_TYPE_CHANNEL_LAYOUT’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘AV_OPT_TYPE_CHLAYOUT’? "
"
Possible reason is: FFmpeg changed AV_OPT_TYPE_CHANNEL_LAYOUT into AV_OPT_TYPE_CHLAYOUT in new version. It is not compatible in PyAV.

Suggetion: can we have more control of versions by writing a requirement.txt indicating wanted package versions in order to avoid conflicts？A complete package list can be exported from a successful environment using a json file.

The following paragraphs are the terminal outputs:

What you should do according to the new update is the following:

1. Fetch the latest changes (if you haven't already done that).

2. Create a new virtual environment using conda:

   conda create -n lerobot python=3.10 -y
   conda activate lerobot

3. Install ffmpeg using conda. This is in accordance with the README, just a few additions to ensures ffmpeg version ≥ 7:

   conda install -c conda-forge 'ffmpeg>=7.0' -y

4. Install lerobot (change the extras based on the robot you're using; this one is for Aloha):

   pip install --no-binary=av -e ".[dynamixel, intelrealsense]"

These steps should be enough to avoid any issues with encoders or jpeg12_write_raw_data.

follow my suggestions in issue #727 :)

[imstevenpmwork]

I don't understand the meaning of this issue. Did you follow the recommended instructions for installation?

Download our source code:

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
cd lerobot

Create a virtual environment with Python 3.10 and activate it, e.g. with miniconda:

conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.10
conda activate lerobot

When using miniconda, if you don't have fffmpeg in your environment:

conda install ffmpeg

Install 🤗 LeRobot:

pip install --no-binary=av -e .

NOTE: If you encounter build errors, you may need to install additional dependencies (cmake, build-essential, and ffmpeg libs). On Linux, run:
sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential python-dev pkg-config libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libavfilter-dev pkg-config. For other systems, see: Compiling PyAV

This should install ffmpeg 6.1.1. The issue of having ffmpeg 7 is that it is not compatible with the version packaged by opencv

[shantanuparab-tr]

Here's what I have noticed. Just running

conda install ffmpeg

installs ffmpeg version 6.1.1. This version does not support libsvtav1 encoder

Using ffmpeg 6.1.1 results in encoder not found issue as mentioned in

1. subprocess.CalledProcessError: ........................returned non-zero exit status 8. #822
2. SO-100 with error:Unknown encoder 'libsvtav1' #705

I'm using Linux 22.04 , and I don't face any issues with pyav installations as I have downloaded all the required packages as mentioned in the Readme.

I hope this information helps. @imstevenpmwork

[BruceGeLi]

Hi, I am using Ubuntu 22.04, and I also faced the same av build issue of using ffmpeg==7.1.1.
Downgrading to 6.1.1 helps the installation.

I am new to this repository, so I haven't run anything to face the encoder issue yet.

[imstevenpmwork]

Hi @shantanuparab-tr,

Thank you for the detailed explanation. It looks like this is an additional challenge on top of the previous dependency version conflicts and the imshow() issue we encountered.

After checking, I confirm that the conda-installed FFmpeg doesn’t include libsvtav1, but the Brew-installed version (on macOS) does. While upgrading to FFmpeg 7 would include libsvtav1, it would reintroduce conflicts with OpenCV, leading to the same imshow() problem as before.

Interestingly, on Ubuntu 24, installing FFmpeg via sudo apt install ffmpeg provides version 6.1.1—which is compatible with our codebase—and includes libsvtav1. This suggests we could update the installation instructions to recommend installing FFmpeg through Brew (macOS) or APT (Ubuntu 24) instead of Conda, ensuring compatibility while keeping encoder support. (#950)

One caveat: Ubuntu 22’s default APT repository installs FFmpeg 4.X, so we’d need separate instructions for that version.
Another solution would be to build manually FFmpeg with all the blows and whistles and then point all the packages to the built version. But I'm afraid that would complicate the installation for an entry user.

[gu021]

This is really a nice suggestion:

This suggests we could update the installation instructions to recommend installing FFmpeg through Brew (macOS) or APT (Ubuntu 24) instead of Conda, ensuring compatibility while keeping encoder support. (#950)

libsvtav1 was absent 1.5 weeks ago when I tried to record data set episode. We need at least one working Ubuntu solution since Pi0 project is based on Ubuntu only. May I ask who will do the verification of above solution and do the update of installation instruction? A nice and reliable start is essential to a good result.

[shantanuparab-tr]

Here's an update, I tried a few things and noticed that the order of installation really matters.

Here's the workflow that works for me on Linux 22.04.

1. Create a conda virtual environment.

conda create -n lerobot python=3.10 -y
conda activate lerobot

2. Installing LeRobot

pip install --no-binary=av -e ".[dynamixel, intelrealsense]"

3. Installing ffmpeg

conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg -y

How this help, this allows you to build pyav from source without getting this error

  src/av/option.c: In function ‘__pyx_pymod_exec_option’:
  src/av/option.c:7416:51: error: ‘AV_OPT_TYPE_CHANNEL_LAYOUT’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘AV_OPT_TYPE_CHLAYOUT’?

        |                                                   AV_OPT_TYPE_CHLAYOUT
  src/av/option.c:7416:51: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
  error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
  [end of output]

Installing ffmpeg later allows you to get the correct version of ffmpeg that supports libsvtav1

Note: Here's why the previous solution worked Isuccessfully build pyav from source in one of my environments, whihc was then cached, this cached version was used in the other environments as well, therefore, I didn't run into the pyav not built error.

When I used pip install --no-binary=av -e . --no-cache-dir --force-reinstall I was able to recreate the issue. This led me to the above solution.

@gu021

[gu021]

Nice solution! I believe this time it will work. You found the root cause. I will try it out soon. Thanks a lot, Shantanuparab!

[imstevenpmwork]

We're working on a more elaborated solution, I recommend you to give first this PR a try (from a fresh environment and following the new installation instructions in the main readme): #903

[shrutichakraborty]

Hello! I created an issue #964 as I have having some related issues. Using the fixes provided by @shantanuparab-tr I had done conda install -c conda-forge 'ffmpeg>=7.0' -y and since then my installation worked fine, I was able to run the control_robot.py script perfectly and collect a dataset. Now when I tried to train I had an issue where I get :

I have mentioned the versions for ffmpeg and libtorchcodec on #964, I then came across this issue and tried to downgrade ffmpeg to 6.1.1 and retry, but was not successful. After donwgrading to 6.1.1, I even have issues running control_robot script originating from opencv again. Any suggestions?

thanks

I was testing against /feat/ branch. Then I noticed that it is brought to main. Then I tested main branch again. At least so far, I do not have any issue with FFmpeg version any more. I would like to close this issue. Thanks a lot, all!
