Hi Yann,
other streamlists work without piping through ffmpeg, like
https://github.com/Free-IPTV/Countries
Most tvheadend users already have ffmpeg on their systems, mostly because
of transcoding, others because of other packages depending on ffmpeg.
In this case I want to make sure that /usr/bin/ffmpeg is present out-of-
the-box when users start to play around with iptv and hit streamlists
which use the pipe function, like I did last week ;) My system was indeed
missing /usr/bin/ffmpeg...
But I do not want to force building ffmpeg just for iptv support in
tvheadend when technically it is an optional runtime dependency.
Regards, Bernd
