ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.58 [Linux]

[exhpe]

On Linux, faster-whisper-xxx works fine without voice extraction. But when using voice extraction (both Pro and non-pro) versions it fails after extraction is completed. E.g for Faster-Whisper-XXL Pro with

--output_format srt --model large-v2 --verbose False --language en --ff_vocal_extract=mb-roformer

It fails after MB-RoFormer completes with error

Error 1: Failed to load audio:

ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.58: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Everything works fine with the same options and the same audio file on Win11

"--ff_..." options needs ffmpeg.

Use this command to check what you have installed: !ffmpeg -version

[exhpe]

ffmpeg from my system uses libavcodec60 (installed):

But Faster-Whisper-XXL-Pro refers libavcodec.so.60 for most components except the following ones:

Maybe some libraries used for building faster-whisper-xxl are outdated? E.g. on my Ubuntu 24.04

Try to delete libchromaprint.so.1 from _xxl_data.

Then do test run, if it didn't helped try to delete this: _xxl_data/gst_plugins/libgstlibav.so

[exhpe]

Deleted just _xxl_data/libchromaprint.so.1

Tried it on two files, one as used in speed test and another one shorter. Now it works fine, at least with
--ff_vocal_extract=mb-roformer, did not try other options.

[Purfview]

Deleted just _xxl_data/libchromaprint.so.1
Now it works fine

Good.
I'll keep this issue open as a reminder that I need to remove this file.
