Is there any news on this problem? I have the same issue on a Windows 10 machine, Julia 1.9.3, Plots v1.39.0. The error I get is the following:
ERROR: LoadError: InitError: could not load library "C:\Users\viv\.julia\artifacts\3ac49f33c861f2eb1afea813bec920729529c0e0\bin\avcodec-58.dll"
And why could it not be loaded? (I.e. what does the error say after that?)
After a lengthy set of garbage spit out, I get the following output:
during initialization of module FFMPEG_jll
in expression starting at C:\Users\viv\.julia\packages\FFMPEG\OUpap\src\FFMPEG.jl:1
in expression starting at stdin:3
ERROR: LoadError: Failed to precompile FFMPEG [c87230d0-a227-11e9-1b43-d7ebe4e7570a] to "C:\\Users\\viv\\.julia\\compiled\\v1.9\\FFMPEG\\jl_2D5E.tmp".
Your problem is actually a bit different than the one from three years ago, which was eventually solved.
Please create a new topic with a complete stacktrace. Also provide the output of
] status -m
Thanks. I will be back at that computer, next Monday morning. I will provide that information then.
Edit: Is there any news on this issue? I still get:
