I noticed in the electron thread that we now have FFMPEG 5.0 in the official Fedora repos, but this will of course mean that certain codecs are removed due to legal concerns. This prompts a few questions though:
1) How are these removed codecs handled in the library? Can we link an upstream application against FFMPEG in Fedora now and have it gracefully fail when it tries to access a non-free codec that was removed, or does the removal of these codecs create a different API that upstream applications would have to code around? e.g. does it mean they have to add conditional compilation for the specific codecs they need to use from FFMPEG instead of just around FFMPEG itself? 2) Is there an easily accessible list of the enabled codecs we can point upstreams to when talking about this? Thanks, -Ian
