H264 error on Fedora Linux

PostWed Nov 07, 2018 4:24 am

Hey all! I know this isn't exactly a new issue, but I'm having trouble finding a solution for my particular system and was hoping someone here had some advice.

When I try to import a video file with an H264 codec, I see the following error in my terminal:
Code: Select all
ERROR: Could not find header partition pack key, in mxf_reader.c:576
ERROR: 'init_mxf_reader_2(&newMXFFile, GetDNxHRCompressedFrameSizeCallback, dataModel, reader)' failed, in mxf_reader.c:542
ERROR: 'open_mxf_reader_2(filename, GetDNxHRCompressedFrameSizeCallback, dataModel, reader)' failed, in mxf_reader.c:496
Failed to open MXF reader

This is almost exactly like an issue reported in the past by Ubuntu users (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=66999). I'm running Fedora 28 though, so don't have the same autoremove issue that these particular users had.

My problem is, ffmpeg is already installed, and so is x264. Fusion detects ffmpeg properly when it loads as well. I tried installing ffmpeg-devel alongside ffmpeg, but instead of returning an error Fusion would simply crash and exit.

Is there something obvious that I'm missing here?
