I've added secondary AppImage builds which bundle Streamlink's FFmpeg Linux builds for both
x86_64
andaarch64
:The current non-FFmpeg AppImages will be kept unless we'll see that these new ones will be preferred by users. FFmpeg is optional, and it's available on the user's distro in most cases anyway.
Apart from the file system access times, there shouldn't be an increase in loading time when using the AppImages with the bundled FFmpeg binary. The AppImage file size has grown from ~36MiB to ~83MiB (on
x86_64
).With FFmpeg (
--ffmpeg-ffmpeg
is always set and its value relative to the AppImage dir, mounted or extracted)Without FFmpeg (no changes)
Example with x86_64
Example with aarch64 on x86_64 via qemu
I don't have aarch64 libfuse, so
--appimage-extract
was run prior with zlib. An ffmpeg wrapper is also required because of that
