How to solve the problem "Unable to locate package libva1"?

[yxdming]

When i try to compile the Omxplayer in my raspberry 3b+, i just run the prepare script as the instructions from the README.md.
But I got the following error.
Can anybody explain this.
Thanks.

Edit prepare-native-raspbian.sh and replace it with libva2.

As for missing libavutil, that means your ffmpeg build failed so you need to make clean (which really only does rm -rf ffmpeg), fix things, and rebuild. In fact if you get any errors regarding missing libavutil, libavcodec, libvavformat, or libswscale missing it just means the ffmpeg build failed.

For me, the ffmpeg build can't seem to find smbclient even though I have libsmbclient-dev and smbclient installed, so I ended up editing Makefile.ffmpeg and changing --enable-smbclient to --disable-smbclient. Then everything built.

Whether it runs properly across all formats may be another story. Things are kind of shaky across the board getting LibreELEC, Kodi, OMXplayer, VLC, Chromium, etc. to have H.265 decoding working reliably on the Pi 4. There are likely other problems with the removal of brcmGLES and getting other VideoCore APIs up to speed.

thanks @jdonald
But when i replace libva2 with libra in prepare-native-raspbian.sh , it shows that need to install libssh-dev, but when I install libssh-dev, the libssl1.0-dev had been removed.
That's confused me.

That isn't related to the libva1 problem. libssh-dev is required for ffmpeg regardless.

As you have a gazillion packages you can get a more complex dependency chain, and this one triggers a preference for SSL 1.1 over 1.0. You should consider cleaning up your packages once in a while, e.g.

sudo apt autoremove

On top of that, you can probably get around this if you also change the script to reference libssl-dev instead of libssl1.0-dev. I doubt omxplayer particularly depends on version 1.0

Thanks @jdonald
I had solved this issue according to your suggestion.
I will mark this issue to closed.

Thank you @yxdming for asking your questions. I had the exact same problem and was able to solve this using the info in this thread. And thank you @jdonald for posting your comments!

In case anyone is still looking, I was able to use the info in this thread to write a script that builds omxplayer: https://gist.github.com/dasl-/75bc55ac15f28a28db2d1f39ef09cd95
