LossLessCut is desktop software for multiple cuts / joins / merge of video without re-encoding .

This kind of software is hard to find and only simple attempts for Android exists.
Author is Mifi and until today there was no build for Arm64 Linux.

I contacted author and asked him for Arm64 Linux build.
I showed him importance of growing popularity of Arm64 Linux on phones and he made build for Arm64 Linux.
Discussion about it is here:

mifi/lossless-cut#1054 (comment)

LossLessCut depends on Arm64 ffmpeg and ffprobe.
Mifi made a Arm64 build but ffmpeg is not included.

This is answer from Mifi:
" I tried to build for arm64 linux now. You can try it out.
Note that you may get an error the first time you start up because there is no ffmpeg included.
You can go to settings and specify the path to ffmpeg and ffprobe. "

From Ubuntu terminal I was able to install ffmpeg and ffmpeg is available for Udroid.

root@localhost:~# sudo apt install ffmpeg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
ffmpeg is already the newest version (7:4.3.2-0+deb11u1ubuntu1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

sudo apt install ffmpeg should automatically install ffprobe as well.

Because I am novice in Linux world, I ask all of you for help, to help test Mifi's Arm64 LossLessCut Udroid build.
LossLessCut Arm64 Udroid is available but not tested on Mifi project pages:
https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

LossLessCut is a gem piece of software and it will be great to see it running in Udroid !

[v8karlo]

Installed ffmpeg
root@localhost:~# sudo apt install ffmpeg

..

I been able to locate path of ffmpeg and ffprobe
root@localhost:~# dpkg -L ffmpeg

..

I downloaded LosslessCut-linux-arm64.tar.bz2 from https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases

Extracted folder to usr/lib, and this is content of folder

I am total novice to Linux, and I suppose that losslesscut shared library is the file to execute but I don't know how.?

Any help ?

@v8karlo OK!
You're doing it a hard way

its working fine

here is a quick command

Assuming you installed udroid beta xfce4 ( works for other versions too )
Assuming already logged into VNCserver and using a terminal in vnc session

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libasound2 -y # this fixes libasound.so error in beta
sudo apt install wget ffmpeg -y
wget https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases/download/v3.44.0/LosslessCut-linux-arm64.tar.bz2
tar -xvf LosslessCut-linux-arm64.tar.bz2
cp /bin/ffmpeg ~/LosslessCut-linux-arm64/resources
cp /bin/ffprobe ~/LosslessCut-linux-arm64/resources
cd ~/LosslessCut-linux-arm64/
./losslesscut --no-sandbox

Losslesscut for arm64 comes with missing ffmpeg binaries so copying them from /bin fixes the EONET problem ( like the above command )

[v8karlo]

I am using 21.04

Nope, something is wrong in this version, or at least I don't have enough knowledge to solve this.

..

But, in a few days from now I will purge old version and install Beta and try again, I am sure it will work as it does for you.

Anyway, excellent, thank you very much. It is not easy to pass from windows to Linux for me, but I will give the best.

This piece of software is wanted by many users on Arm64 platform and it will be great when they hear that they can use it via Udroid.

..

LossLessCut is like milestone, reason for many to install Udroid !

And you just showed that it works !

..

[v8karlo]

So, what I did ?

I read what it says to me and tried again, but with --no-sandbox

root@localhost:/usr/lib/LosslessCut-linux-arm64# ./losslesscut --no-sandbox

And, voila....

..

..

..

It worked. I did not try to edit any movie, but it showed itself.

..

Well, many thanks to you, without your project Udroid and your help this would not be possible.

And now LossLessCut is available on Udroid !

..

Thanks to Mifi also on his efforts to port this software to Arm64 platform !

Arm64 Linux is the future and it will grow fast, so fast you won't believe and I am happy to watch that game. And be part of it.
Long ago there was a dream, to have mobile phone and computer in one and we are here now to witness that !

[SaicharanKandukuri]

I tried editing a video its working great

I have a beast of PC. It costed me a fortune and is powerfull. But this idea of Phone PC took my attention
and I do not use my PC for 2 months now.
I combined Android softwares and Udroid Linux , with help of Samsung DEX and I like it.
In those 2 months I used my PC once or twice and actually my phone can do so much that I don't miss my PC.

Because phone does not support X86, I started to use Linux via Termux and is quite OK. Still learning thou !

Thanks to Mr. SaicharanKandukuri and Mr. Sam I was hooked to Udroid project. And I enjoy that !

Thank you Mr. SaicharanKandukuri and Mr. Sam !

They showed me that Android phones are not so limited as I thought, our phones can perform much better than simple
Android toys if supported by Linux !

Never before was Linux user, but I am now.
