#### Static builds of FFmpeg from BtbN

A strictly confined snap package containing the master GPL builds of FFmpeg
provided by BtbN. This package contains statically compiled binaries for
ffmpeg, ffprobe, and ffplay. This package will be updated on a weekly basis
and the version of the package is the update date.

For security, this snap is built without network access. It can safely process
local media files in your home directory or on external drives.

Important Note: Because ffmpeg is a highly contested and common command name, all the commands are hidden behind unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg namespace. If this package is the only ffmpeg deb/flatpak/snap package you are going to use on your system, after installation, please define aliases for the commands using:

sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffmpeg ffmpeg
sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffprobe ffprobe
sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffplay ffplay
