subsonic problem: ffmpeg in 6.2.0 distribution

I understand you could argue this is an addon issue, but it did work in 6.1.9. Hard for me to see how that traded off for a small amount of space and memory of removing pipe support is a "good" decision. Especially when it took effort to do instead of using the defaults. I think what you are saying is Netgear has optimized the stock ffmpeg for readydlna, but changing a semi-standard component is not a good thing to do for an extensible system. I mean I don't want twenty ffmpegs installed. Otherwise installations will take forever as they have to check every single build option of every command and shared library. Or all addons would need to be statically linked or include their libraries which would be way way more impactful than a few more bits to support pipe in ffmpeg :-). Much better to provide the default build as netgear did in 6.1.9.

I tried /proc/self/fd/1 from the command line with the stock executable and it prompted me whether to overwrite /self/fd/1 or not. I was afraid to say yes so I can't tell you if that works or not.
