Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libplacebo on Fedora 34.

What is `libplacebo`

libplacebo is essentially the core rendering algorithms and ideas of mpv turned into a library. This grew out of an interest to accomplish the following goals - Clean up mpv’s internal API and make it reusable for other projects. - Provide a standard library of useful GPU-accelerated image processing primitives based on GLSL, so projects like VLC or Firefox can use them without incurring a heavy dependency on libmpv. - Rewrite core parts of mpv’s GPU-accelerated video renderer on top of redesigned abstractions. (Basically, I wanted to eliminate code smell like shader_cache.c and totally redesign gpu/video.c) libplacebo 3.120.3 1.fc34 x86_64 1.0 M libplacebo-3.120.3-1.fc34.src.rpm updates Reusable library for GPU-accelerated video/image rendering primitives https LGPLv2+ libplacebo is essentially the core rendering algorithms and ideas of mpv turned into a library.

We can use yum or dnf to install libplacebo on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install libplacebo.

Install libplacebo on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00

Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install libplacebo using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install libplacebo

Install libplacebo on Fedora 34 Using yum
