Stop with the drama, please. You are not a persecuted misunderstood genius. Nobody here has a personal grudge against you. The reason people, including me, are objecting to your patches is that they are not fundamental enough. You want to redo the subtitle API in a major way, but keep it saddled with legacy hacks right from the start. We have enough of those already to know we don't want any more. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
