Details

Description:

mpv, and probably other media players, too, rely on the

--enable-libssh

compile option of ffmpeg to support streaming files from sftp:// urls.

Would it be possible to enable that option and make libssh an optdepend?


Steps to reproduce:
Simplest way: ffplay "sftp://user@hostname/path/to/video.mkv"

What I actually wanted to do:
* Use a KIO/GIO-enabled file manager to browse sftp:// urls
* click on a remote file / open it with mpv
* nothing happens, ffmpeg throws a warning that sftp:// is not enabled
This task depends upon
