--- Quote from: steve55901 on November 06, 2020, 03:56:52 pm ---Thanks Bob! - the symlink fixed up the "Web page viewing is not yet supported on this platform" and also populated the avcodec and chromium subdirs in Plugins with the .so files you mentioned.
I ran the ldd against the .so files in both linux_avcodec64 and linux_chromium64
The ldd for the .so files in linux_chromium64 all ran clean.
When I ran the ldd command against the .so files in linux_avcode64 (6 total) many dependencies were called out - I found they were all ffmpeg modules.
So, I went ahead and installed ffmpeg on this RHEL 8.2 machine from RPM Fusion, then ran the auto-import again and all is working like a charm in MC27 for mp4s, .m2ts Video files etc etc (in addition to the .aiff audio files etc that were working before)
Thanks so much for your help!!

Thanks for the report back good you hear you got it going.
MC doesn't use the system ffmpeg but doing that might have installed something libav neded.

Thanks for the update and info re. ffmpeg - a little further unsolicited feedback, here's the list of .so files that flagged missing object dependencies when I ran ldd on the .so files in ~/.jriver/Media Center 27/Plugins/linux_avcodec64 on this RHEL 8.2 machine with the EPEL enabled.

libavcodec-jr.so.58
libswresample-jr.so.3 => not found
libavutil-jr.so.56 => not found

libavfilter-jr.so.7
libswscale-jr.so.5 => not found
libavutil-jr.so.56 => not found

libswresample-jr.so.3
libavutil-jr.so.56 => not found

libswscale-jr.so.5
libavutil-jr.so.56 => not found

I see now ffmpeg was a wholesale approach, but all working, so all good   :-)
Thanks again!

Hendrik:
ldd does not look for libraries in the same path as the one you are querying by default, so it not finding its own brothers and sisters is not a surprise. We fix that when we load them.
Those libraries should otherwise have very few external dependencies, the only meaningful one being libva2 (libva.so.1), as far as I remember.
