Description Marcin Deranek 2021-09-23 06:48:33 UTC

Currently system-ffmpeg use flag is masked for www-client/chromium-94 as it's not possible to build it using system ffmpeg. It's possible to build chromium-94 with system ffmpeg using https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/chromium/trunk/chromium-94-ffmpeg-roll.patch patch *reverted* eg. eapply -R patch. Patch is borrowed from Arch folks, but I came to similar after investigating the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Patch has to be reverted to allow building chromium-94 with system ffmpeg.

That only works as long as you haven't installed media-video/ffmpeg-9999, because first_dts was moved to internal API:
https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/commit/591b88e6787

You can unmask system-ffmpeg and apply the patch locally, but we won't add it to the tree.
