Hi sirs, Caption is having issues in Microsoft with FFmpeg version please give high priority
This shit (and the core-js thing) is the reason why I am NEVER going to write a single line of FOSS code. Frick Black folkoft.
what core-js thing?
The repo owner is literally starving. His shit is present in almost every js website. A lot of billion and even trillion dollar companies (including Apple, Google and Microsoft) used it without giving him a dime.
Oh yeah, I remember finding out about this. We happen to use it at work and I was confused what it was so I looked it up. Surreal moment when I realized every big site uses it yet the dude is broke
thhat's the normal situation when you produce useless bloatware related to js
oh frick that's heartbreaking

I wonder if """sanctions""" have something to do with lack of company backing.
He did this to himself. I have no fricks to give.

Surely the dev powerhouse over at the Microsoft Global Office can fix this?
even outside of the ESL phrasing, only jeets have the audacity to write this

man i'm so happy for independent devs rn
this just keeps getting better and better
He needs to head to the M$ forums for some advice.
I don't think they even tell you to run sfc /scannow anymore, all modern M$ forum advice can be condensed into this simple flowchart
People don't understand anti-Indian racism because "they're nice and non-violent".
They are literally lowering the standard of living of society by their presence.

In Canada, they are creating new, lower standards for what are acceptable living conditions because they are willing to live in single rooms with 6 other people.
>BASTARD b***h DO THE NEEDFUL

People like this deserved to be named, shamed, tarred, feathered, and dragged over the coals.
Nah, it's microsoft itself that should take the hit for it. They should budget dev time to fixing it.
>sar this is very important at Microsoft so do the needful ASAP
I can just imagine this poor sod's boss breathing down his neck for a date, and having no fricking clue how to patch or vendor FFmpeg to get around the issue.
Get to it code janny!

In all fairness, things did break out from under him.
When your own jeets can't complete an intermediate level threat, you need to ask the NEETs
Oh course they need to rely on volunteers when all their workers are pajeets and all the people without work are white thanks to diversity quotas.
That explains everything.

It's an op, guys.
Yeah, am I seriously supposed to believe that he didn't edit the security.md file until months after the backdoor was planted? Gimme a break.
i hope they tell them to frick off
So this FFmpeg account is trying to argue that open source is a bad thing...? Or what take am I supposed to be seeing here? Sounds like he's saying companies should focus on closed source projects they can control, and supporting open source is a bad thing
FFmpeg is mocking them.
Mocking them for using FFmpeg? That just makes this even more confusing. Sounds like this is a project that should only be used by individual hobbyists and not used commercially?
Mocking them for being cheap. They come in like boomers demanding the highest priority for their issue but don't wanna pay for it like the israelites they are.
ffmpeg devs set their own price when they released this as open source. they did this to themselves.
How?
Maybe if Microsoft sent a substantial "donation" they'd be ok with their high priority requests
Nice software you got there... using open source libraries in it?
Would be a real shame if some bugs or even vulnerabilities got introduced to it... you know how it is with these unpaid volunteers. Sometimes they just miss a comma or turn over the project to a chinese spy.
But I think we can work something out here... with just a small donation from you to our so-called open source foundation I think we just might find someone to take good care of this for you.
Maybe Microsoft should have read the License
>THERE IS NO WARRANTY
>they did this to themselves.
Did what exactly? It's the billion dollar company which is groveling and begging. FFmpeg devs can literally close the ticket and jerk off instead for all they care.
your reading comprehension needs a high priority ticket.
Anon, please learn to read something other than code.
I beg IQfy moderation to do that on a daily basis. If they could legitimately communicate in English, my problems would have been solved many years ago, literally.
Yes they are unintentionally arguing against open source. They are begging the billionaires that are making trillions off their free work to support them a little bit. But the pathetic begging that will never be considered without pushing caveats that give the cloud corp control will never be considered. As such, it is a reason to stop supporting OSS to anyone with a brain.
He can't read code either
they are exposing big tech who uses work from volunteers and expect high priority to their issues
Open and closed source share the same vulnerabilities, in that, if you let non-vetted people submit code and you accept that code then a child could hack the planet. True peer reviews by multiple people are the only safeguard regardless if open or close source.
>if you let non-vetted people submit code
or if you let the wrong people become vetted
this was a problem of someone deliberately infiltrating a project that was upstream of a major target and using the project as an attack vector
worse, the major target wasn't watching for it because they were immune... but the fiddled-around version distributed on some big Linuxes wasn't

How a dependence on random unverified people is more like it.
>random unverified people
Look, Klaus arent you a lil' bit on the old side to be posting on chinese cartroon forums?
You mean undocumented people?
No I mean unverified people. Letting random anonymous rando's contribute code is beyond full moron. All your undocumented people are about to be conscripted but that's a different issue.
Have fun with that, now go back to Facebook
why even have priority flags if you're just going to shit your diaper and throw a temper tantrum when someone uses them properly?
why even have report flags if you're just going to shit your diaper and throw a temper tantrum when someone uses them properly?
Really makes you think.
Microsoft is not a high priority. When they make Windows completely free and open source, they can be high priority, until then they go to the back of the queue.
@microsoft has to take over! we can't have this free software movement ruining society!

Elon Musk in the replies, doing the needful
AHAHAHAHAH
The issue was actually the jeets not being able to read documentation, good thing Elon Musk was there to help them out.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you Elon
what the frick is elon musk doing there??? he can program???
Knowing how to use a program isn’t programming.
Yeah, there is also Hasdrubal and Saitama in other forums in the same site. Didn't know those were programers too.
kek is that actually elon musk?
I highly doubt it. There's no way Musk spends his time on the FFMPEG issue tracker. He's got better things to do.
Of course not.
Elon's main focus is ffmpeg so he can efficiently download all the porn he can while he pretends to be doing actual work at Tesla.
He's just like us.
Using ffmpeg to procrastinate and fap.
So this is high priority to him.
use your brain
wait back the frick up, this musk for real dawg? I know he was doing paypal shit but was this before?
No, it's just one of ffmpeg's top developers 'avin a giggle by changing his name on Trac
this is fricking pure gold.

They probably can't read the documentation because Windows doesn't have:

>Sir posting a High Priority ticket
>"Elon Musk" responding
this is fricking comedy gold.
The bigger issue here is that they're wrapping the ffmpeg executable instead of using the library. This is what worries me more.
You obviously don't speak from experience here anon
If the command line interface for ffmpeg is a moderate challenge, libav's C API is like trying to swim in the ocean with cinder blocks chained to your legs
Here's how you transcode an audio file to AAC using their C API
https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/doc/examples/transcode_aac.c
3 trillion dollar company
That got nothing to do with my post about ffmpeg's CLI not being available from libav's C API
so have some autist write wrapper for python or whatever else those ms jeets use
>it's more difficult to do it correctly
That's not an excuse nor a defense.
Everybody should know C well enough already. Certainly Microsoft should have the best C programmers in the business. That example isn't even advanced C.
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10341#comment:10
Looks like this commotion has caused a comedian to add to the thread.
I spose the deeper issue is that they upgraded to a newer version of ffmpeg and didn't test thoroughly to identify the change they needed ahead of time. And instead of rolling back to a functioning version they just made this ticket claiming it was broken.
True, Elon in the thread though provided them a command that shows the documentation they're looking for https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10341#comment:8 , and they still said they couldn't find it.
ffmpeg -h decoder=cc_dec
they were also name dropping 'highly visible product', what a bunch of passive aggressive buttholes
are these people thanking themselves?
this could be easily solved by just asking ChatGPT, they didn't need to open a ticket, lol
>default value was changed
I fricking hate this shit, it's the main reason why updating software is a pain in the ass. Who the frick knows what devs have decided to change in basic functionality.
>We have customers experience (sic) issues
You can look at IQfy for 10 seconds and figure that much out. If anything, they can only do serious damage in the medium and long term.
Funny because when you report a bug on any of these big corporation's bug trackers it sits there for 20 years without anyone fixing it.
Just like IQfy, reporting and feedback does nothing.
Honestly, what was the last time someone shit up a thread you were in and deserved to be banned? People that say this are always seething troons reporting people for racism.
I'm talking about entire threads that are full of people who shouldn't even be on the board.

reminder that webvtt is cursed and you probably don't want support for it in the first place
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7214#issuecomment-811678383
can't wait for this being exploited thanks to someone uploading the wrong video in shady sites
Christ, that's awful.
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7214#issuecomment-811719392
this is the worst idea for subtitling i have ever witnessed and whoever was involved in creating
these formats needs the gas chamber immediately.
>DOM, JS, CSS, HTML, and HTTP in subtitles
absolute state of webdevery
furthermore, WebVTT only allows URLs with a data scheme.
there is absolutely nothing insane about applying styling to all cues after/before a specific cue. implementing something like this is beyond easy.
>ASS, on the other hand, is basically just timed vectors with some transforms.
wrong
http://www.tcax.org/docs/ass-specs.htm
ASS can include text-encoded truetype font files and graphic files (images, audio and videos).
This is absolute bullshit. Once again mpv devs prove that they are useless pedos whose only skills are watching anime.
WebVTT is meant for use in connection with the HTML <track> element.
Programs that deal with HTML usually are able to handle CSS, so it makes sense to use it for WebVTT. Same goes for scripting with JS.
That being said, you don't have to support CSS/JS at all if you don't want to.
https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#conformance-classes
You can do some basic styling without CSS:
https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#caption-text
https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#default-classes
Don't get your post. You call mpv devs useless pedos, fair enough, then go on to 100% support their reasoning.
>WebVTT is meant for use in connection with the HTML <track> element.
>Programs that deal with HTML usually are able to handle CSS
Exactly why they don't want full support it in their non-HTML software
>That being said, you don't have to support CSS/JS at all if you don't want to.
If you look at the screenshots in the OP you will see that that is indeed what mpv currently does. The issue was about missing the additional "optional" styling
>ASS can include text-encoded truetype font files and graphic files (images, audio and videos).
All of which they already support anyway. (Dis)playing images/audio/videos is its main purpose after all and fonts are needed for text in the OSD. (More specifically the OSD is implemented by (ab)using the ASS renderer afaik)
If you look at the screenshots in the OP you will see that that mpv does not respect the position of the subtitle as defined in the vtt file. This has nothing to do with CSS, you do not need a CSS engine for this.
So this whole rant about muh DOM, JS scriptability (which is wrong, WebVTT is not scriptable) and CSS is completely misplaced.
If you read the bug they did not oppose some minimal subset of VTT being implemented. They just have no interest in doing that work themselves.
based non-nocoder BTFOing pedos
OSS maintainers are very often power tripping gays though, if Microsoft tried to push through their own patch or a fork they would be crying about being embraced-extended-extinguished instead
those volunteers can always ask for (arbitrarily valued) paid support :^)
Always good to have another reminder that OSS has been very effectively exploited by closed-source corpos. To have true FoSS we need a License that does not allow usage in any centrally controlled closed source/cloud tech corpo service. And we need people to stop trying to support F/oSS jsut to get a job in closed source/cloud tech.
And everyone will say no (despite not having a viable alternative)
This, everything should be licensed AGPL3-only at a MINIMUM
SSPL+Black person
running code on a remote server cannot be open source by definition, you can't know the code that is being run, so your comment makes no sense
furthermore corporations or any kind of organized entity can't exist without foss tools
releasing closed source software is the main problem
>running code on a remote server cannot be open source by definition, you can't know the code that is being run, so your comment makes no sense
Maybe this is why Stallman hasn't really pushed for the AGPL.
>releasing closed source software is the main problem
Not really, tho. Everything is on the cloud nowadays.
you are free to run your code on your server or a remote one. websites are just website, it displays information. it doesn't matter if you don't have the source code, you control the input.
excluding websites programs still need to be run on your machine.
>To have true FoSS we need a License that does not allow usage in any centrally controlled closed source/cloud tech corpo service
that's what the AGPL3 is for, while the GPL3 requires source access when you distribute binaries, the AGLP3 also requires source access when you provide only remote access to said software, rather than distributing binaries
Closed source/ open source is something that was important 20 years ago. But in the post-2010 world the important thing if it's a centrally controlled "cloud" service or not. For example: Microsoft it completely allowed by the GPL to sell access to linux-based servers, using their closed-source API, platform & interface.
Or facebook is allowed to use linux for all the hosting for their closed-source dystopian nightmare. "cloud" is many times worse than closed source that at least runs on your machine.

who are you quoting
You fundamentally don't understand the dynamic. Teams is used by literally every fortune 500 company. If microshaft wanted to fix this problem, they could have devoted time or money or both to fix it. They didn't do either, but expect a community of unpaid volunteers to do it for free. This is like getting a good Samaritan to fix your flat tire, and then yell at them for not changing your oil.
>The xz fiasco has shown how a dependence on unpaid volunteers can cause major problems
every heard of WEBP?
you know, the thing that made all Androids, Web Browsers vulnerable for 9 years made by Google?
The trillion dollar corporation is free to pay some of its wagies to work on ffmpeg, and they can submit patches.
Not really a problem, now is it?
How do you suppose they'd be able to submit patches that are worthwhile when they don't even know how to use the software? See:
>the jeets are so incompetent they need to be spoonfed commands on how to use foss shit

it also showed that the pressure for software projects to be "active" can cause major problems. this would have never happened if xz was considered finished.
but spelled right

Clean it up, GPL/LGPL janny.
Frick you, pay me.
Was this kind of exploit even possible without systemd?
To backdoor SSHD? Without systemd it'd be much harder.
I really hate systemd mainly because it showed how easy it is to push giant piles of shit to lazy distro builders. This exploit is a wake-up call but unfortunately nobody is paying attention because it's being drowned out by smug arch buttholes who can't see the bigger issue.
Is there any effort to crowd fund general bug/exploit bounties? gayMAN sure as shit isn't going to fix things.
What would that prove that this exploit hasn't already proven?
Nothing? Do you know what a bug bounty is? I mean that there should be a community funded reward for catching issues like this to incentivize more people looking for backdoors and provide something slightly closer to a fair reward than nerd street cred.
Dude, all software has bugs. Giant blobs of code like systemd will have many, many, many bugs. It's also not a stationary target. More and more code is being added to this monstrosity, and it all has root privileges. Finding bugs in systemd is not going to make it secure.
Wtf are you talking about? Do you even write software?
Kek
Yes, and everything I said is the truth. The only solution is to shrink the amount of code that runs in privileged memory. systemd does the fricking opposite of that. You can't fix systemd, you can only replace it with something sane
You're right that systemD is fubar but a exploit bounty will still have positive effects. It will make more people look, making people realize how bad it is, The ones found will punish potterling for his bloat, and there's a slightly higher chance that someone that finds an exploit reports it instead of using it.
Again, what would that prove that this exploit hasn't already? Oh, well prove it again, only this time they'll listen! No, they won't. The only solution is to make a better alternative
Everything you said is completely unrelated to what I am proposing. If your original point is that getting off of systemd will fix all or most of these issues then you're moronic. I think it's justified at this point but there needs to be more corp-independent quality incentives regardless.
You're not even trying to understand what I'm saying despite my plain English.
ANY giant blob of software running in privileged memory (including those Intel firmware blobs) is going to leave you vulnerable. systemd isn't a problem because it's buggy. All software has bugs. systemd is a problem because it's a fricking monstrosity
Again, I don't disagree with any of that. It's beside my point entirely and nowhere near sufficient to prevent these kinds of attacks.
LOL, OK I'm done with you.

corporates should be required to pay any open source they use.
no the point of open source is to allow anyone else to contribute regardless of their financial backing or history
the actual problem is that these projects get subsumed into closed source mega-apps with dark branches that never get pushed upstream, ran by outsourced third-worlders that go into these volunteer projects expecting support like they're paying for a contract, which isn't the fricking case
"burnout" from lack of funding is real, but it's not nearly as widespread a problem as the above
didn't ask
they should be forced to pay
i don't think it will ever happen. for corporations it is much cheaper to hire thirdies to shill open source 7/24 than to pay for it, if they haven't already. we can only redpill a few developers like the tale of the starfish.
until all foss devs start doing the foss-hacktivism like node-ipc, detect code is used by MS/RHEL and just nuke their pc, suddenly all foss livraries need to be hard forked and MS and RHEL need to hire maintainers for every and each one of them, no more free lunch
>the actual problem is that these projects get subsumed into closed source mega-apps with dark branches that never get pushed upstream, ran by outsourced third-worlders that go into these volunteer projects expecting support like they're paying for a contract, which isn't the fricking case
Well, that's when the pajeets Get Told.
If you or anyone else want a thing done on your time schedule, better be prepared to pay to see it happen. You might get lucky and get away without paying, but getting anything reliably requires money. And not being an butthole.

And that's a good thing given how pervasive and destructive Rust shills have been to free software.
A trillion dollar worth corporation. Trillion. That's bigger than the worth of several nations.
Sorry, can't afford to pay actual programmers, though. Can only hire Indians who have no idea how to fix anything other than copy/pasting JS Electron shit from stack overflow and asking chatGPT to generate newer code

>Why is everyone saying the guy is indian?
the writing style, not that's in indian per-se, it could be one of many esl's, it's just that microsoft is well known to have many indians working there
>actively, blindly create problem
>try to blame everyone else for it
>still don't try to fix it to save themselves from the embarrassment of being wrong despite being ridiculed by everyone already

linux is shit
>Trillion dollar corporations expect free and urgent support from volunteers
That's kinda bullshit, everyone is in agreement that this is an issue that needs to be fixed quickly, that doesn't suddenly become the result of corporate greed abusing open source volunteers because MS stated the obvious here that a fix is high priority.
ITT morons that blame an OS for a single piece of software
IQfy is all little kids who are pedos that should be gassed in auschwitz
Considering the OS is owned by one of the largest and most powerful companies to ever exist, the arguments seem legit.
>linux is owned by a company
