[FFmpeg-devel] Global options to compile FFmpeg with only audio-related features

[Cyber Sinh]

Hi,

 

I use FFmpeg in an audio-oriented software (for playing and acoustic fingerprinting). 

 

So, I want to compile FFmpeg with only:

- audio-oriented features to reduce the size (and compilation time) of the lib (eg. bypass video codecs). A feature should be considered as audio-related if it is video-only oriented (eg. A media container which supports audio stream should be considered as an audio feature).

- player-oriented features to demux/decode files (not to mux/encode them).

 

Disabling all muxers and encoders is easy: passing “--disable-muxers” and “--disable-encoders” to “configure” is enough.

 

But to enable only audio-oriented features, I have to pass many options (and maintain) to “configure” script:

​https://github.com/CyberSinh/Luminescence.Audio/blob/master/lib/make/ffmpeg/configure-ffmpeg-msvc.sh

 

It would be great if there was more global options in the “configure” bash script to enable all audio-related (or disable all video-related) features, like (eg. for decoders):

--disable-video-decoders

--enable-audio-decoders

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks.
