Description
I initially installed essentia-tensorflow via pip with Python 11, and the installation went fine, but I encountered an issue that I believe stemmed from ffmpeg and couldn’t load audio files properly, giving me a codec error for MP3 and WAV files.
Then, I decided to install Essentia from source. I followed the instructions and had to use compat-ffmpeg4 based on what I saw in a fork, since it seemed necessary for Fedora. This worked, but I had to set some export flags during the compilation, and also manually install TensorFlow and link it dynamically though I believe this is not relevant to the issue.
After running the following commands:
python3 waf configure --with-python --with-tensorflow
python3 waf
I saw that the streaming algorithms, including RingBufferOutput and RingBufferInput, were listed among the compiled files. But after running python3 waf install, everything seemed to install properly, except the streaming algorithms were not accessible within the python essentia.streaming module.
I did notice that the library included a lot of algorithms, most of them seemed to be the same as in essentia.standard. I also confirmed that the compiled streaming algorithms are indeed present in the build directory.
I also ran the following check:
nm -D /home/chibolo/.pyenv/versions/3.12.7/envs/essentia/lib/libessentia.so | grep RingBufferInput
Showing that it is linked:

Everything seems to be compiled and linked properly, but for some reason, the streaming algorithms are not showing up in the Python bindings.
Any help would be appreciated!
