[Feature suggestion] Ffmpeg

[TakenMC]

Could you add the ability to use your own ffmpeg binary or system one in the config file so it doesn't keep generating new ones in the config dir.

[Inrixia]

What is the point of this?

[TakenMC]

Just so it doesn't keep generating new ones in the specific location and if no binary is selected then like it would auto download like usual

[Inrixia]

It shouldn't be generating a new ffmpeg if it already exists. Are you getting that behavior?

[TakenMC]

It's not what I was saying, is that it generates a new one every time I reset the db folder

[Inrixia]

Right that's the intended behavior. Why is that a bad thing?

[TakenMC]

Not necessarily but it would be great to have it used the system binary

[Inrixia]

What is the actual benifit of it doing so? If you want to use a custom binary you can just replace the existing one.

[TakenMC]

I mean I can't see a tangible benefit, it would be nice if you could have a different location for it.

[Inrixia]

Right, well in that case I really don't see a need to add extra complexity to how ffmpeg pathing is handled.

If you do think of something feel free to reopen this though.
