Anton's objections are against the horrible hacks necessary to support Mac and Windows, as far as I understand him. Of course it's also objectionable for SDL to be modelled as a muxer, when it's ostensibly an audio output device and a video output device - not a multiplexer. (SPU blending, lip sync and whatever may require ESs to be processed together should not be tied to SDL.) >> Starting a process from a library is not very practical.

Running on the main thread (the initial thread of an address space) requires an external executable, so if somebody is confusing the two, that's not me. Besides, starting a new process without execution of an executable, in other words, forking without executing, is essentially impossible in a multithreaded Unix-like environment, since FFmpeg is not async-fork-safe. It is also completely impossible on Windows. So the distinction is completely helpless here. >What? Having an API tu run functions in the main thread is a basic >feature for any kind of threading architecture. Oh really? And the POSIX thread function to run on the main thread is what exactly? You're conflating main-loops and threads here. Thread-safe libraries don't normally depend on a main loop, even less the ability to run idle callbacks on it. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
