* Package name : ffmpegfs Version : 1.8.0 Upstream Author : Norbert Schlia <nsch...@oblivion-software.de> * URL : https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs * License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : FFmpegfs is a read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes between audio and video formats on the fly when opened and read. This can let you use a multi media file collection with software and/or hardware which only understands one of the supported output formats, or transcode files through simple drag-and-drop in a file browser.

This can let you use a multi media file collection with software and/or hardware which only understands one of the supported output formats, or transcode files through simple drag-and-drop in a file browser. Supported output formats: * MP4 (audio & video) * WebM (audio & video) * OGG (audio & video) * MOV (audio & video) * Prores (a MOV container for Apple Prores video & PCM audio) * Opus (audio only) * MP3 (audio only) * WAV (audio only) * AIFF (audio only) This can let you use a multi media file collection with software and/or hardware which only understands one of the supported output formats, or transcode files through simple drag-and-drop in a file browser. The package uses the FFmpeg library for decoding/enconding, this way suppporting a multitude of input formats. I am using it myself for online streaming and playback. There a similar package called mp3fs (of which this is actually a spawn), but that only supports mp3, no other formats and no videos. ffmpegfs is much more powerful and flexible, I would say. I am going to maintain it myself, it is a rather small project so I would not be needing help. I already receive support (bug reports, fixes, feature requests and even patches for new features) on github. Sponsors are not required, but if someone wants to buy me a beer or offer me a life-time supply of beer, why not? :)
