Strange, I thought FFmpeg really became popular as a back-end library for mplayer, before it was picked up by all other OSS multimedia at the time (gstreamer, VLC, Xine, etc.). Force-feeding the SDR code to all FFmpeg packagers is not going to make it popular. Most of them will just disable it, especially if it brings new dependencies and/or doesn't work on the popular proprietary platforms. FWIW, Fabrice Bellard didn't bundle all his initially hobby projects together. Several of them became popular. > Demanding you make a separate library and a separate project is a > hypocritical ploy to have you spend your time on boring things like > build system and packaging, so that you lose interest in SDR and go back > to doing useful things for them, like fixing fuzzing bugs and > backporting the fixes. To the contrary, I would much rather Michael uses his free time on his hobbies, including SDR-outside-FFmpeg. He can stick to spending his "time on boring things" if/when he gets paid. That will add incentives for big tech corps to actually fund FFmpeg. This community, and presumably Michael in particular, are way too good at doing those "boring things" for free. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ 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".
