"We understand that very well. Once again, it is you who do not understand something: your BELIEF tha SDR does beling in FFmpeg is nothing more than that, a belief, an opinion, and it weighs" very little in the face of repeated technical arguments by several members of the development community as well as common sense. > it weighs nothing in front of the argument that some users want it. Literally ABSOLUTELY ZERO *users* said that they wanted it, except for Michael himself. Other people (including you) did say that they wanted it, yes, but none of them were users or even potential users of SDR. Some even explicitly said that (although it sounded cool) they would not use it. So you fail at logical argumentation again. > > Like no, seriously.

He said that he did not want to join an existing SDR project. That's completely orthogonal. And in any case, this is one of several technical argument.

Err, it is very much an issue w.r.t. "catching on". You even left the original quote up there. This makes your highly intellectually dishonest attempt at distorting my statements all the more blatant. > > - it only works on some limited set of OSes (if not only Linux), > > Like a few components of libavdevice, that is not an issue.

I was not the one to start this drama (on either side of the argument), and there have been plenty more people on my side than yours. I am indeed part of the problem in a sense. Though if I follow that logic, you are a proportionally bigger part of the problem, FWIW. Now you could argue that my argument si a self-realising prophecy. But regardless of who is to blame, my argument holds: the drame will continue (with or without me, by the way) unless Michael compromises and takes SDR out of FFmpeg.git and FFmpeg-devel. > > - it will be obscured by FFmpeg's existing own fame, remaining an obscure > > feature set that hardly anybody outside FFmpeg-devel knows about. > > Like a lot of features. Probably indeed like a lot of features, who failed to catch on and will continue to fail to catch on. My point exactly! > Scrapping the bottom of drawers for arguments are you? I think that I made it clear that this was about how/why SDR will not be *popular* inside FFmpeg. Maybe those are bottom of the drawer arguments against SDR in FFmpeg. That does not exactly matter in this context, since that is not what they were about. Also that's an ad hominem attack, which violates the CC. -- 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".
