     The F36 package is now available:

     I'll keep using the RpmFusion package, of course, but I'm glad that several popular apps can now be packaged directly in Fedora, including all Electron apps.

     #fedora #ffmpeg #rpmfusion

     @penguin42 Isn't the RpmFusion version good enough for you? They released ffmpeg 5 a couple of weeks ago and - after I complained that several popular apps were now broken - they added a compat-ffmpeg4 package.

     @codewiz On Fedora I just give up and build ffmpeg from source; my ffmpeg has loads of stuff in it.

     @freakazoid But there are two Electron apps that I use every day: Signal Desktop and VSCode.

     @codewiz I fail to see how installing Electron apps is ever a good thing.

     @codewiz I use Signal Desktop, too, but a real IDE ;-)

     @be I still use the RpmFusion package, but I'm sure the Fedora version strips all patent-encumbered codecs. All patents on MP3 should have expired long ago, not sure about AAC.

     @codewiz Does this include MP3 and AAC decoding?

     @codewiz @be It does. We have mp3 and aac through libraries linked into ffmpeg.
