Ring: Ffmpeg Omx now has ffmpeg with libfdk-aac - Hope for Ring?

Homebridge Camera Ffmpeg Omx now has ffmpeg with libfdk-aac audio support. Does this mean there is hope for Homebridge Ring to also natively include it?

Adding ffmpeg with audio support to the Docker image was thanks to this project I started to compile static ffmpeg binaries with everything that is required for Homebridge cameras.

Pre-compiled binaries are provided for 9 different platforms across Linux, macOS and Windows:

Thanks @oznu ! Which binary would we use for Homebridge on docker running on a Synology NAS?

[oznu]

@mikesalz - No need to install anything extra for the Docker image, it's now bundled with the latest version of the image.

Just updated to the latest Homebridge image and it works perfectly! Thanks so much!

@mikesalz I opened an issue on @oznu's new library to see if we can get those exported in a way that they can be pulled into homebridge-ring automatically, removing the need for users to install them manually. If @oznu is able to do that, I will gladly pull it into this project.

@dgreif - I think we are set already! @oznu added it directly to the Homebridge docker image. I downloaded the latest image and my Ring plugin now has sound!

@mikesalz that's great, glad it's working for you! I'm still thinking it would be a good addition for other users who aren't using that docker image, but I'll close this issue since you are up and running
