JavaFX Media Player crashes when opening MP3s even though libav 53 libraries are present?
Building a java 8 (oracle) application that uses the JavaFX media player under linux. Needing MP3 support I identified that I needed to ensure that libavformat53 and libavcodec53 were installed on the system. Now even though they are installed on the system and all the relavent .so files are linked and in the right locations. JavaFX still crashes when opening MP3s. Any ideas why this is still occurring? Research Digged deeper into the issue found target system I was installing on already had libav 55 libraries on it. Using strace I saw that java was trying to load version 55 of the libraries
