ffmpeg has nothing to do with boot.
Also you haven't posted any useful info to debug any perceived issue.
Comment 2 e.ohlms 2023-04-28 12:15:35 CEST
But to my understanding ffmpeg is part of the graphics stack which gets triggered on boot.
When I go into tty2 and use startx KDE shows me that it doesn't use the GPU but software rendering.
So I guess some package coming with ffmpeg or sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin is breaking the graphics stack on AMD in a way that my GPU doesn't get detected.

What makes you think that?

ffmpeg has nothing to do with GPU detection by Xorg Xserver which you're starting using startx. Why would you think that?

This issue is better discussed at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ . You can also ask on the official IRC or Matrix channels.

Because when I set it back to Fedora's standard the GPU gets detected and if I install ffmpeg und sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin it breaks.

Well, I can say it works for me and that provides about the same detail as you above. Please, go to the forum I pointed above and engage with the community to pinpoint what exactly your issue is and what is causing it. Bugzilla makes for a poor troubleshooting forum, so please don't use it as such. Nothing you've written so far even suggests that there's a bug in the ffmpeg package.

Btw installing it kf5 packages in kde

One of the issues related to it could be that the "-freeworld" drivers don't get installed because of broken dependencies, because the normal rpm-fusion repo doesn't have the newest version and updated Fedora has too new packages. So you need to enable testing repos.
Should be easy to fix.
