ffmpeg: 'Protocol not found' for normal file name

Solution 1

The comment of @andcoz lead me onto the right way: the problem exists as long as /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so is loaded.

In my case this happens in some special use case:

The libffmpeg.so is used by the Vivaldi browser for showing proprietary video formats (H.264).
If I download a file via Vivaldi, and then go to its download panel, right click on the downloaded file and select 'Show in file manager', my file manager opens. It runs in the 'context' of the browser, so when I go a step further, and open a terminal out of that file manager session, this also runs in the context of Vivaldi.
For me this means, that there are a few environment variables set, which are not there, if I start a normal terminal session (not out of Vivaldi context).
These environment variables contain (among others) a LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so. As that one causes libffmpeg.so to be loaded when running my conversion with ffmpeg, I tried an unset LD_PRELOAD in the terminal session and after that my conversion ran again fully normal.

So this is where the 'then and now' problem came from, I just was not aware of the case I am in a different environment variable context when starting my program chain out of Vivaldi.

Thx everyone for helping out.

Solution 2

I came to this topic for the message, just to add one tip for users, I found out that if the filename itself has ':' in it would cause the problem, as some programs generate files with the time stamp like "audio 12:34:14.ogg"

Solution 3

For me "Protocol not found" error was caused by ":" in the output filename. Removing it and then adding back again sounds like a workaround and unnecessary complication. Fortunately I was able to find the solution - just add file: in front of the filename. For example this will work even if $file contains substring like "09:02:21":

ffmpeg -i "$file" -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec copy "file:${file:r:t}".mov

In the command above only file: part is important in context of this answer; but in case if somebody wonders what ${file:r:t} does, it in zsh shell removes absolute path and extension sub-strings from the $file variable. Note that file: was not needed for the input filename in this case but was necessary for the output filename even though both contain multiple ":" characters.

Every then and now ffmpeg tells me

myfile.avi: Protocol not found
Did you mean file:myfile.avi

if executing ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -pix_fmt yuv420p myfile.mp4.

Using ffmpeg -i file:myfile.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -pix_fmt yuv420p myfile.mp4 then fails:

file:myfile.avi: Protocol not found
Did you mean file:file:myfile.avi

Executing the same (out of bash history) after reboot (normally I just go into pm-suspend-hybrid) works, converting from .avi to .mp4 like expected.

Any ideas what might be the reason and how to fix this?

complete in-/output:

$ ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -pix_fmt yuv420p myfile.mp4

What does ffmpeg -protocols -v 0 list?
Admin over 6 years

Do you have the message about library configuration mismatch also in case the conversion succeeds?
Admin over 6 years

yes, it always appears
Admin over 6 years

can you do ls -l myfile.avi? i am suspicious that the file name begins with a space symbol...
Admin over 6 years

As to complete John Smith comment, is it with any avi files ? or only from a certain source, and how frequent is that ? Also what is the real filename ? It seems that filename handling might be tricky sometime witth ffmpeg: trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2303
Admin over 6 years

Can you do compare the output of ldd $( which ffmpeg ) executed when ffmpeg works with the one executed when ffmpeg does not work?
Admin over 6 years

I can't really tell how frequent it is, may be in 1/2 cases (trying once a week, with several hibernations in the days between), but once it stopped working, it won't work again until reboot. I've saved ldd output of the now working conversion, waiting for a failed try...

The file name is exactly 'myfile.avi' and I tried with files from different sources,
Admin over 6 years

when this problem occurs, is myfile.avi accessible by other means? (can it be played with vlc, mplayer, etc, or read with other tools?) this sounds more like a problem with the underlying filesystem coming out of hibernation than an ffmpeg issue.
Admin over 6 years

the file is fully normal usable by any other means

@andcoz: like you can see with the output added above, the difference is the /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so. Having it loaded is the cause, like I could validate. It's loaded by Vivaldi browser.

Please specify the exact file name, note answer below on the fact that ":" cannot be used in the filename.
Admin almost 5 years

@Roel: As you can see in my own answer from last year, below, the colon has nothing to do with my case.

I do not have this package on my Debian and none of the libavcodec-extra* packages is currently installed.
Roel Van de Paar almost 5 years

Excellent answer. Using ":" in the filename confuses ffmpeg (and it does not matter whether you use "" or ' to surround the file name, and backslash escaping does not work for ":"). The only possible solution is to [temporarily] remove ":" from the filename.
Lissanro Rayen over 3 years

Fortunately, this is not true. The proper solution is to add file: before the output (not input) filename, then ":" in it will not cause issues.
