What are you actually wanting to accomplish here? Do not use AI to answer this question. |
Hey, Why should i use AI to answer questions? |
|
Ok, but why is this attempting to add ffmpeg & was backends? |
Im experimenting with different backends. In the Future im planning to Port this App to different platforms. Thats the Main reason. |
|
Clementine already runs on Linux, Mac and Windows with Gstreamer though. We used to have different backends and it's too much work to support. |
That's correct. You might be right that the support ist to much Work. Aktually i stay with Gstreamer. Maybe i deleted the ffmpeg in the future. I Set Gstreamer to "bitperfect" to Play Songs as they are with bitrates 16,24 and 32. Also Frequenzies 44,1, 48, 96 and 192kHz Support. As i wrote, it's Experimental. I'm trying to get it as near as possible to Aimp with it's Features. |
