Feature reqest: Add ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe to the package #588

Closed sergwish closed 5 months ago

sergwish commented 5 months ago

FFmpeg libraries with the most of useful codecs are already being built and included in LAV Filters package (and decoding is done through them on playback as I understand it).

I suggest building ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe in FFmpeg in shared mode and including them in LAV Filters package.

That would allow users to skip installing full FFmpeg package with yet another set of FFmpeg libraries when they need executables for youtube-dl, foo-youtube, mpc-hc or other software.

It should cost about 0.5Mb in uncompressed size (no need to include both 64-bit and 32-bit executables in the same package).

No need to add directory with executables to the PATH (but it may be an installation option, unset by default).

There is just one logical answer: Request denied

OK, but a hint where to look for explanation would have been nice.

How do you even "install" FFmpeg?

It's just three static binary files, just put them in a directory in your PATH and all other apps that you mention here etc. can use them.
