Update ffmpeg version in Dockerfile about pyca HOT 6 CLOSED

You are right, that version should work.
Can you file a pull request changing the Dockerfile?

Thank you for the quick reply!

Why don't we use the ffmpeg version we build ourselves? If SRT support is missing we should add it.

from pyca.

That's fine with me as well. For the overall issue, this doesn't matter which version we use.

Right now, the version built for Opencast also target's codecs that Opencast usually needs.
Streaming protocols like SRT and desktop audio and video capture protocols (e.g. pulse) haven't been the focus of that.
But I see no reason why we couldn't add them. Just, I don't have the time to do that right now.
Still, I'm happy to see a pull request for that.

Are you planning to work on that short-term?

from pyca.

Yes, I have a binary linked to libsrt, but have not tested it yet (as in never executed it).

Edit 1: srt is listed in -protocols

from pyca.

Would be nice to add that in the long run.
Short term, I'll just add the other FFmpeg binary.
Once we have updated our build process, we can switch back.
