Re: RFC: New dependency on FFmpeg?

Hi

I'd be curious, why wouldnt it be possible to dynamicly load ffmpeg library if existing in the system.
(via search path, ld path etc.)?
I mean on a minor revision the API of ffmpeg should more or less stay the same, I have not that much experience with ffmpeg - I used it once (programming wise).

So basically I think you would have to propose inclusion of a version of
ffmpeg into Wine's source to get the green-light (and update as
necessary). Otherwise there will be a lot of new bug reports of crashes
landing in a probably stripped copy of the system's ffmpeg or libav,
with users not knowing how to give good information for debugging.


ffmpeg/libav sometimes has security issues. Including a vulnerable
version with Wine would make it impossible for the user to update if
Wine were stuck on an old ffmpeg version.
