[09:18] schestowitz[09:18] schestowitzRecently we have been working on native Wayland support on Linux.
[09:18] schestowitzWayland is now enabled for daily builds and if all goes well, it will be enabled for Blender 3.4 release too.

[09:18] schestowitz[09:18] schestowitzffmpeg has been described as the Swiss army knife of multimedia. It incorporates hundreds of video, audio, and image decoders and encoders, muxers and demuxers, filters and devices. It provides a CLI and a set of libraries for working with its tools, and is the core component of many video and audio players as a result (including my preferred multimedia player, mpv). If you want to do almost anything with [09:18] schestowitz multimedia files re-encode them, re-mux them, live stream it, whatever ffmpeg can handle it with ease.
[09:18] schestowitzLet me share an example.

As the ScreenRant article notes, this has forced the team behind The Rings of Power to come up with clever but rather convoluted solutions in order to explain key elements of the earlier Tolkien world, without drawing on forbidden [12:47] schestowitz materials like The Silmarillion.
