Can anyone point me to the approved ffmpeg 7.1.1 download for the mac? Closest I have found is 7.1.3. I’m currently running 8.0.1.
I’m getting a lot of code 234 when testing my channels. Some shows don’t work at all in a schedule and some work in one schedule but then not another. Wondering if it’s the version of ffmpeg I’m running.
