FFmpeg Merges WebRTC Support (git.ffmpeg.org) 38 points by Sean-Der 41 minutes ago

I know there are JavaScript ports of FFmpeg and I would love to use them. But so far, I never got it working. I tried it with AI and this prompt:

    Make a simple example of speeding up an mp4
    video in the browser using a version of ffmpeg
    that runs in the browser. Don't use any server
    side tech like node. Make it a single html file.

But so far every LLM I tried failed to come up with a working solution. by MrThoughtful 6 minutes ago

if you‘re really interested in doing that, i‘m certain you can with a bit of effort. There are plenty of docs and examples online. by ch_sm 0 minutes ago

Don't try to do cutting edge stuff with a brain that doesn't know anything past a certian date. by simlevesque 4 minutes ago

The JS ports of FFmpeg are a decade old and would be more than present in modern LLM training datasets, albeit likely not enough of a proportion for LLMs to understand it well.

What’s ffmpeg security auditing like? Seems reactive from their site. by throwpoaster 4 minutes ago

What does this mean? That websites could connect directly to an FFmpeg instance and receive an audio- and/or video-stream? by qwertox 8 minutes ago

It means that programs that use the FFmpeg libraries (looks like libavformat specifically) can consume webrtc streams by bigfishrunning 4 minutes ago

Interesting I keep getting blocked by the bot detection on iOS safari, both from our work WiFi and cellular data.
