21.04, missing codecs

[Pierre]

Using an install of libavif as below, codecs are not found or not setup properly. Is there options or other packages that should be installed to have these codecs enabled?

For cross reference, I was working on getting libgd 2.3.x and 2.4 branches run with 21.04 and avif, see https://github.com/libgd/libgd/issues/770

ERROR: Failed to encode image: No codec available

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel Novomeský (novomesk)]

This also affects KDE apps using kimageformat-plugins.

They are unable to save AVIF pictures because libavif was not built with support for AV1 encoder (
libavif or rav1e).

[Boyuan Yang (hosiet)]

The fix is available in libavif 0.9.3-2 and later versions. In other words, the fix will be present in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Such fix is unable to be applied onto Ubuntu 21.04 or Ubuntu 21.10 due to libaom, sorry.

[Pierre (pierre-php)]

thanks for the update :)

aom is only one codec. Current versions have zero codec installed, making
de facto avif useless :)
