I tried to install stremio on Fedora 31 but it kept showing an error saying:
"Can't set the project up. QMAKE error !"

I installed all the dependencies and also the qt5 libs but still the same error

Hi ! I just tried your script on OpenSuse Tumbleweed, it works !

I took the Fedora script, and replaced:

sudo dnf install nodejs wget librsvg2-devel librsvg2-tools mpv-libs-devel qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtwebengine-devel qt5-qtquickcontrols qt5-qtquickcontrols2 openssl-devel gcc g++ make glibc-devel kernel-headers binutils -y

with:

sudo zypper install nodejs wget librsvg-devel librsvg-2-2 mpv-devel libqt5-qtbase-devel libqt5-qtwebengine-devel libqt5-qtquickcontrols libqt5-qtquickcontrols2 libopenssl-devel gcc make gcc-c++ glibc-devel linux-glibc-devel binutils rsvg-convert

When running the arch script on a new machine, get error:

...
mkdir -p build
cd build && cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="" ..
/bin/sh: line 1: cmake: command not found
make: *** [release.makefile:36: build/stremio] Error 127
Can't compile project. MAKE error !

Fix would be to simply include cmake here: https://github.com/alexandru-balan/Stremio-Install-Scripts/blob/master/installStremioArch.sh#L10

It will be helpful to create another batch of scripts that install (optionally) the proprietary media codecs. That way the users that opt in will be able to watch and stream media with the mp4, mkv, etc extension.

Mainly they will need to install gstreamer and ffmpeg. At this moment all distros that I made scripts for have precompiled packages with the codecs and ffmpeg, except Clear Linux.

Main focus :

1. Fedora rpmfusion installation and media codecs installation through terminal
2. Clear Linux ffmpeg building and installing (maybe I will provide a precompiled binary because this acript already takes forever to finish). Building ffmpeg wold take maybe 5 times more than it already takes.
3. Solus is straight forward, everything is packaged
4. Arch is arch.

You can add a message when a package is missing and hosted by rpmfusion free/nonfree or make a warning with solution :

sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Openssl is installed

Describe the bug
Since Stremio 4.0, Stremio comes with its own builtin version of libmpv. This prevents using a custom built version of mpv, for instance to allow extra ffmpeg audio filters or video interpolation with vapoursynth.

This was possible in the past: one could just edit /opt/stremio/server.js to edit the path to the mpv binary, and then write-protect server.js to prevent it from auto-updating. This allowed me to use libmysofa and 60 FPS interpolation with Stremio when opening the streamed file in mpv, which was really awesome.

It does not work anymore with later Stremio versions, probably due to the inclusion of the builtin libmpv. I can no longer enforce Stremio to use a different mpv binary. Even when stremio.js is edited accordingly, whenever I launch Stremio from terminal, I can see that it is using another mpv version built at an "UNKNOWN" date, and it is not /usr/bin/mpv nor /usr/local/bin/mpv.

The inability to use custom mpv version with its own mpv.conf and additional libraries is a major regression, it defeats the point of the whole external player feature. I reported the issue months ago on the Stremio subreddit but didn't get any answer, so I am wondering if you would know if it can be modified when compiling using your scripts?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start streaming a file
2. Open it in mpv as external player
3. Alternatively, alter stremio.js to use the path to another version of mpv (for instance, mpv-git built from the the mpv-git repository)
4. See Stremio either failing to open mpv or using its builtin version

Expected behavior
Stremio should be able to use a real external player, not a builtin external player that cannot be customized or even configured with mpv.conf.

Please include the following:

• Solus 4.1
• Mater branch, but I am not reporting a Stremiio-Install-Scripts bug, rather asking if this can be enhanced to support custom mpv installations

I use Solus 4.1, KDE Plasma version, in the budgie version i could install normally, but now a got:

How can i fix it ? For now i'm trying a flatpak version, the link is https://github.com/bilelmoussaoui/stremio-flatpak
