i think you slightly misunderstand if the patch is applied ffmpeg releases will not be tested anymore (by me) or ffmpeg git master will not be tested anymore (by me) with openh264 as theres no common openh264 that works with both. 1.6 does not work with ffmpeg releases IIUC and this patch would drop support for openh264 before 1.6 in git master [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Opposition brings concord.
