Before starting, ensure that you have done the following.

• I have verified that there is no other issue or discussion covering the feature or enhancement
• I have verified there is no open pull request for the feature or enhancement
• I have verified the package to improve is located in this repository

What do you want to add?

I suggest adding ffmpeg-shared DLL's to ffmpeg-full package.

What problem will the feature/enhancement solve?

Currently, when we install ffmpeg-full it uses all in one exe file ffmpeg version. It's not bad, it's just not obvious that DLLs from ffmpeg are not installed.
For example, you need ffmpeg to work with audacity. And you can't use any of choco version with audacity from choco, becasue both "essentials" and "full" versions installed without DLL's.

From this page it looks like Audacity requires a special version of ffmpeg.

[nosovk]

audacity was just an example, in a real life the problem that we offer bundled setup, but not libraries. As a developer I need to use ffmpeg libraries directly time to time, and it would be nice to have some option to install both libraries and exe from choco.

[pauby]

My suggestion would be to create the packages for that. Most people just want to install the software itself and that's what this community repository currently caters for.

like ffmpeg-full-shared?

[pauby]

Or ffmpeg-full-library. Just as an FYI, this would likely have to be hosted yourself as I don't see it being accepted into the Chocolatey Community Chocolatey Packages repository.

[nosovk]

no problem, I've installed it manually because I needed those libs to be global available, but users can make installation via scoop if user needs local installation. You may see that it's in a list of official installation methods for release-full-shared option.

Thanks @VuiMuich. Given the situation I would still suggest a separate package is created for use with Audacity as what is currently packaged is expected by the end user. If somebody else has any thoughts to share on this, please do.

There is already a ffmpeg-audacity package here: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/audacity-ffmpeg
Although since this ffmpeg-full-shared build also works with audacity, and presumably has more build features enabled, then there seems to be no reason it can't be put into a new package.

[pauby]

That would mean we end up with an ffmpeg-full, audacity-ffmepg and ffmpeg-somethingelse?
