libavcodec57 is built from the ffmpeg source, so there may be licensing issues depending on where you live and use it. But as an end-user this shouldn't be much of a concern (IANAL).
According to the official documentation (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Standard_Support), packages in universe are maintained by the Ubuntu community. If you look at the latest update though (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/7:3.4.8-0ubuntu0.2), you will see that it was done by the Ubuntu security team. Note that bionic will eventually reach end of life too (on 2023-04-26), so at some point in the next two years you will have to upgrade to focal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1916301 Title: I can't play live videos on YouTube (problem with live transmission) - Ubuntu 18.04.5 Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Dear Launchpad Team, I can't play live videos from Youtube. I have problem only with live transmission. Normal videos works fine. I noticed that I also have this same problem on Focal (now I checked this on Bionic - Ubuntu 18.04.5). On Lubuntu 18.04.5 on other machine I don't have this problem. I can play on Lubuntu all Youtube videos. What is a problem? Do you know? I think that by default Ubuntu have not necessary package to play live videos on Youtube. Have I right or this is a bug? On Answers section on launchpad anyone can't tell me if it is a bug so this is why I report this bug now. If it is not a bug I am very sorry and you can delete this report now.
