Popcorn-desktop: FFmpegDemuxer: no supported streams

[Kakadu]

Operating System Version: Linux
Popcorn Time Version: development branch
Download date: yesterday

Expected Behavior

It plays movies

Actual Behavior

It doesn't

It is a continuation of #797: I managed to compile everything and browse movies but I can't watch movies because of an error from console output

[4379:4425:0611/161932.071663:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: no supported streams"}
[4379:4379:0611/161932.072712:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_NO_SUPPORTED_STREAMS

I tried to replace ffmpeg libraries by the ones bundled with previous distributions but got linking errors and no success. I also found an issue but I'm unexperienced in node.js and can't apply this knowledge. Can you give any advice?

P.S. If anybody interested the latest bundle from the website doesn't work after I updated to Ubuntu 18.04. So I'm trying myself.

I guess it's because the patch provided by @sergiomb2 use the official nwjs which doesn't have the necessary codecs.

At this point the only fix I could think is to compile a custom nwjs >0.35 with all necessary codecs like in the issue you linked but it take lot of time.

For ubuntu 18.04, check #798

@Persei08 issue #798 is not helpful. I don't get any errors in the terminal log. It just asks about acceptance of license and nothing: no movies, no tabs, no text in terminal.

@kadada can you open another issue report for the ubuntu 18.04 issue because here it will be confusing to deal with 2 issues in one report.

@Persei08 done

I'm having the same issue on Arch Linux with your CI build 362. I've tried multiple libffmpeg.so, including the two in your build but to no avail.
