On important platforms like Windows, there is no "install". People are
taking/copying the build output. If it's not part of the build output,
it won't arrive at any user.
Also, for security reasons, the script requires an ffmpeg binary in the
same directory. Unless the script is in the same directory as the
ffmpeg binary, it has no value at all.
The previous patch has gone great circles because I have been subject to
false accusations and damage of reputation.
This situation is different: I have laid out my arguments and opinion,
but that's just one small voice of many and I have no intentions to go
crazy about or fight for it. No matter how this may come to a decision,
I don't want to stand in the center of it.
There's one crucial point about this patchset, though:
The purpose is to make the feature available to the masses, both
developers and users (see 'instant availability' in my earlier response
to Kieran).
If this cannot be achieved and agreed, then it would have failed its
goal but I'd still say that it was worth the attempt.
Yet, I hope you can understand when I say that anything less than this
goal, is nothing for which I will take any effort at all. The scripts
are there, they can be downloaded from my GitHub - for those who know.
Thanks, and best regards
