OpenSSL not enabled in youtube-dl? about homebrew-ffmpeg

[slhck]

When you type ffmpeg on your command line, does it show HTTPS support in the configuration line? Please show the output of a simple ffmpeg call.

PS:

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  ffmpeg

This may be an issue in other contexts; make sure you successfully ran brew uninstall ffmpeg before installing this tap.

On macOS 10.14.6 you should have Clang 11.0 build 1100.

Here is my ffmpeg output:

[retokromer]

Sadly the first line in missing. Yet what is the reason for compiling with LLVM rather than Clang on macOS? I also notice that the libraries are not recent ones. You should uninstall the old version of FFmpeg and then install the current one.

[retokromer]

On my end, I got (with the --with-openssl option enabled):

I cannot reproduce the youtube-dl error. On my end it works just fine.

[sxflynn]

Sorry, I edited my comment so it shows the first line. I'm running ffmpeg 2.8.2

I've already done brew uninstall ffmpeg and then reinstalled using your documentation so I don't know why I have an old version.

[retokromer]

What is the output of which -a ffmpeg?

[sxflynn]

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

[slhck]

You have some old, very outdated ffmpeg version in /usr/local/bin/. It's certainly not the Homebrew version.

Please try installing ffmpeg from this tap again and show the entire output. Does the link step in the end succeed?

[retokromer]

And what is /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -version?

[sxflynn]

And what is /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -version?

I just renamed ffmpeg to ffmpeg_28 and I am now installing again

brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg --with-openssl --with-rav1e

[sxflynn]

Now this is my ffmpeg output:

Youtube-DL is now proceeding with the download and repatching the segments. It worked!

Before we close this issue, do you think it's an issue that I should post with the top level homebrew community, that homebrew should somehow check to see that it's not actually installing anything over my old version? That seems like a flaw that should be addressed. Or do you think my problem was not very common?

[retokromer]

I guess this is already included in Homebrew’s documentation. In any case, this issue is not related to our formula, therefore I’m closing it.

[slhck]

I believe that Homebrew should have warned you in the last step, failing to link the ffmpeg binary to its final location. So the behavior you're suggesting should already be implemented.
If you hadn't renamed the existing binary you would have probably seen it.
