Devil's advocate: OpenH264 is sadly still too buggy for RHEL. We should (a) fix the longstanding stuttering problem that occurs on all videos, and (b) have at least one developer who is comfortable with working on it if we were to do this. Including it in Fedora is more a desperation measure than a desirable end result. Would love to see this situation improve. There is so much potential here. :/ (In reply to Neal Gompa from comment #0) > through Fedora EPEL. Ah, well I suppose if we consider it to be part of EPEL, then it's OK for it to be buggy....

There is so much potential here. :/ Have you filed bugs upstream about it? I've recently got in touch with those folks on behalf of openSUSE, and I imagine that the maintainers of this package in Fedora can talk to them about this sort of stuff too.

It's not okay for things to be buggy (any more than anything else is), and that said, I've watched YouTube MP4 videos with OpenH264 through FFmpeg just fine. The upstream issue tracker is sadly not maintained, e.g. https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3218#issuecomment-603426508 or https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3501. There's no point in reporting issues there. :( (In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #5) > The upstream issue tracker is sadly not maintained, e.g. > https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3218#issuecomment-603426508 or > https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3501.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle. Changing version to 37. I went ahead and filed https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11109 to get started with adding it to EPEL 9. Initial build done and releng request is in for sending the build to Cisco for hosting: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11422 Pull request to ship the repo for EPEL 9: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release/pull-request/28 Repository configs released with epel-release-9-7.el9. |
