Hello, It is not currently possible to display videos through SSH using ffmpeg based-software, mpv for example. The attached patch enables libssh within ffmpeg. With this, I can for example browse a remote server using sftp URL in Thunar and select mpv to display the video.
I briefly tested it using ffmpeg versions from 7.8 and -snapshot ports tree. The attached patch is for ffmpeg 8 on the -snapshot branch. I can also provide the patch for ffmpeg 6 on the -7.8 branch if needed. Hope it helps, Joel C.
