I'm here to express my weak preference for dynamically binding FFmpeg in
use cases like this one.
That means, I prefer if packages like svtplay-dl do not depend on FFmpeg
at all, but rather expect the user to install FFmpeg alongside them.
I prefer this because I use a custom FFmpeg professionally as a video
engineer, and it's easier to use it with Guix packages if the dependency
is resolved at run-time rather than at build-time.
I'd expect that many people like me also use a variety of custom FFmpeg
builds for different use cases.
Like I said, it's a weak preference. And I probably wouldn't use
svtplay-dl at work in the US, although I do use youtube-dl / yt-dlp. Let
me know what you think.
