You do all right, as @Bert said, but this libraries should be installed from EPEL repository. You could install it by command yum install epel-release and after this dependency errors will gone away.

Here list of packets that installs from EPEL(filtered yum output):

Solution 2

try this:

Install the EPEL release repo

yum -y install epel-release

Import the GPG key for the Nux repo

rpm --import http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/RPM-GPG-KEY-nux.ro

Install the NUX desktop release repo

rpm -Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-1.el7.nux.noarch.rpm

Run yum, enabling the EPEL and Nux desktop repo, and install ffmpeg

yum -y --enablerepo=epel,nux-dextop install ffmpeg

Solution 3

Install the nux-dextop repository then run yum install ffmpeg

Where and how I can install libudev, libopenal, libass for my server?

Package epel-release-7-9.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

then reinstall ffmpeg but still error.

Alexander Tolkachev almost 7 years

as you can see, nux-desktop already installed.
Bert almost 7 years

Strange, for me it works like a charm after adding only the nux-desktop repository. Which CentOS 7 did you install? Minimal or Desktop?
Bert almost 7 years

True, I did not think of EPEL not being installed at all. This step is nearly basic for me at server install. :)
Alexander Tolkachev almost 7 years

@Bert it seen in beginning of yum output.
Thinh Phan almost 7 years

@Bert how do I know it's Mininal or Desktop? I'm newbie and I'm install it by command from remote server
Thinh Phan almost 7 years

I just run it, then reinstall ffmpeg but still error
Alexander Tolkachev almost 7 years

@ThinhPhan please provide output with new error.
Alexander Tolkachev almost 7 years

@ThinhPhan looks like you have disabled epel or it's removed try to run yum install ffmpeg -y --enablerepo=epel. If this not help, try to reinstall epel yum remove epel-release -y && yum install epel-release -y and try to install ffmpeg again.
Thinh Phan almost 7 years

@AlexanderT, you are right, my epel is disable, just run your command and it's success install now. Thanks you very much!!! So how can I vote your reply is right answer? Or I just vote your comment?
Alexander Tolkachev almost 7 years

@ThinhPhan vote my answer.

Thanks a lot man! You saved me. People like you are the real PROs, I have really surfed more than 100 pages searching for this. Everything was same, just passing --enablerepo=epel,nux-dextop really made it. Thanks again.
