ffmpeg is a dependency #58

Pale moon can use ffmpeg if it exists, but unlike firefox, it is not strictly required.

BetaRays commented 6 years ago

I meant that even for the binaries, it's optional at runtime.

deu commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure I want to do that. The binary package is compiled with MOZ_FFMPEG=1 and the preference media.ffmpeg.enabled is set to true by default. So even if it does still work with no obvious errors or crashes without ffmpeg, I don't believe we should assume it's as intended.

Maybe I just thought it was intended because I got a binary from the website and installed missing libraries when it didn't start, but for now it didn't crash, websites can even see that audio and video support isn't present. But maybe you're right, I guess the best way to know it is asking if it's intended or not.
