Description Or Schiro 2020-02-21 10:36:25 UTC
Peek is currently missing the required dependency to ffmpeg.

Otherwise it won't start.

Can you please add that?

Thanks!

Hello. I would happily do that, but this is not allowed. This is discussed here
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/SOUYWF72MZSEH27PBJB6FI5YBR4SXPVT/

and here
https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/539

Unfortunately we can't add `ffmpeg` as dep because it is not available in official Fedora repos. But Peek can run with GNOME session so dropping it from official repos would be not the best choice either. But at least now we have proper upstream fix for this issue and Peek showing windows dialog if there is no running GNOME session or `ffmpeg` not installed. This update already in repos.

I see, thanks!

If this cannot be fixed I'd like to see something added to the package.

A simple script that runs before peek.

If desktop is GNOME, proceeded.

Otherwise, check if ffmpeg is installed, if it is proceed.

If none of the above match, notify the user of ffmpeg being required for this application to run outside of GNOME and direct them to the relevant location if they want to install ffmpeg (from rpmfusion).

It's already done long time ago and i asked upstream about this https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/539#issuecomment-583850417.
