This version of ffmpeg has nonfree parts compiled in.
Therefore it is not legally redistributable.

I believe in order to fix this version of ffmpeg being non-free the 'enable-nonfree' and 'enable-openssl' flags need to be removed.

Thanks a lot - this has been fixed in the updated version 3.3.2-1 of the ffmpeg package that is now available!

Sadly, this breaks streaming support which was present in ffmpeg which means mps-youtube will not work with termux from now on :-(

[Millak]

In guix we build it with gnutls

[pranavg189]

Yes, that is possible. When streaming audio is played using ffmpeg, it gives following error:

[ffmpeg] https protocol not found, recompile FFmpeg with openssl, gnutls or securetransport enabled.
[ffmpeg] Protocol not found. Make sure ffmpeg/Libav is compiled with networking support.

So, yes, rebuilding ffmpeg with gnutls can solve this issue. :-)

This is pretty inconvenient for me, since I use one of my old phones exclusively as a music streaming device and now half my streams don't work anymore. :/

[its-pointless]

adding --enable-gnutls to ffmpeg build should fix that

[pranavg189]

@Neo-Oli Same for me too :-)

[fornwall]

I just pushed an updated version 3.3.2-2 that links against gnutls and should support https. Does it work ok?

[fornwall]

With openssl likely switching to apache license in the future it will hopefully be ok to build ffmpeg with openssl again - but for now I guess one has to stay with gnutls to distribute ffmpeg binaries.

[pranavg189]

@fornwall Yes, it works. Thanks for updating the package.
