Description
Remove the licensing problem caused by the possible inclusion of proprietary aac/hevc codec in ffmpeg decoders
Who's implementing?
- I'm willing to implement this feature myself
The problem
I submit to your attention the possibility of enabling, for the time being only for windows and android, the activation of the proprietary codecs aac and hevc using the s.o. libraries, effectively removing the problem of the lack of licence required for the distribution of applications capable of decoding those streams. I would appreciate your assessment of this and if you are interested in adopting it in ungoogled chromium, it would be a pleasure for me.
The linux version is still at the hypothesis stage, it would be nice to help each other in the development.
