why libclang?

Open soloturn opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

to compile with ffmpeg support for arch linux, why it would need libclang, or in other words, what is in libclang for this purpose?

It just needed it on my system, or someone else's system. If you can get it working without libclang, do that.

But I'm considering ripping out the ffmpeg/video stuff because it is very difficult to match up to each person's different system, and has caused bugs for me, freezing my client. I never run into these kinds of freezing/crashing bugs in rust code, but C code like ffmpeg is plagued with them, and there is no video player written in rust AFAIK.

Can't you just use external players via the command line?

Yes we can but the UX is different. We have a weblink to watch the video in your browser, that won't be going away.
