System Python packages not detected: SAM2 plugin and Whisper etc.
Hi there! It seems that Kdenlive is not recognizing the installed version of opencv-python that is installed on my system. ![image](/uploads/2c7e9c257a7a226b937e11b0abc742ad/image.png){width=1093 height=442} However, I do have the proper version installed: ``` [evert@Evert ~]$ yay -Qi python-opencv-cuda Name : python-opencv-cuda Version : 4.10.0-18 Description : Python bindings for OpenCV (with CUDA support) Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://opencv.org/ Licenses : Apache-2.0 Groups : None Provides : python-opencv=4.10.0 Depends On : fmt glew hdf5 jsoncpp opencv-cuda openmpi pugixml python-numpy qt6-base vtk Optional Deps : None Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : python-opencv Replaces : None Installed Size : 11.58 MiB Packager : Robin Candau <antiz@archlinux.org> Build Date : 2024-12-19T17:30:53 CAT Install Date : 2024-12-30T11:05:16 CAT Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : No Validated By : Signature ``` Then, I see that the SAM2 plugin wants to install into some weird per user place. There is no package for the SAM2 plugin in Arch yet, and I will make a package for it shortly that will install it system-wide. Will Kdenlive be able to use a system version of SAM2? Arch flat out refuses to use pip, pipx or any other custom package manager. There is only pacman, and that keeps very good contol over keeping packages up to date and playing well with each other. Of course I will be happy to help with install details of any package installed on Arch so that Kdenlive can detect it, just tell me which details you need.
