Hi allThe pace of inovation in FFmpeg has been slowing down. Most work is concentarted nowadays on code refactoring, and adding support for new codecs and formats. Should we * make a list of longer term goals * vote on them * and then together work towards implementing them ? (The idea here is to increase the success of larger efforts than adding codecs and refactoring code) It would then also not be possible for individuals to object to a previously agreed goal. And it would add ideas for which we can try to get funding/grants for (larger scale changes need consensus first that we as a whole want them before we would be able to ask for funding/grants for them) Some ideas and why they would help FFmpeg: * Switch to a plugin architecture (Increase the number of developers willing to contribute and reduce friction as the team and community grows) * ffchat (expand into realtime chat / zoom) this would bring in more users and developers, and we basically have almost all parts for it already but some people where against it * client side / in browser support (expand towards webapps, webpages using ffmpeg client side in the browser) bring in more users and developers, and it will be costly for us if we let others take this area as its important and significant * AI / neural network filters and codecs The future seems to be AI based. Future Filters and Codecs will use neural networks. FFmpeg can be at the forefront, developing these * [your idea here]
A full rewrite of ffserver, using only public API, and with modern streaming in mind. It would give a lot of code in lavf some use. But this only if it gets a maintainer that can update it if needed when APIs are added or replaced.
