+This directory contains files used in goanna builds from FFmpeg
+(http://ffmpeg.org). The current files are from FFmpeg as of
+Release 3.4.2
+All source files match their path from the library's source archive.
+
+Currently, we only use the vp8 and vp9 portion of the library, and only on x86
+based platforms. If this changes, configuration files will most likely
+need to be updated.
+
+AVX2 must be disabled on Linux 32 bits due to the use of yasm 1.1 on the build bots.
+Once yasm is upgraded to 1.2 or later, AVX2 code could be re-enabled.
+Add --disable-avx2 to configure on those platforms.
+
+configuration files were generated as follow using the configure script:
+./configure --disable-everything --disable-protocols --disable-demuxers --disable-muxers --disable-filters --disable-programs --disable-doc --disable-parsers --enable-parser=vp8 --enable-parser=vp9 --enable-decoder=vp8 --enable-decoder=vp9 --disable-static --enable-shared --disable-debug --disable-sdl2 --disable-libxcb --disable-securetransport --disable-iconv --disable-swresample --disable-swscale --disable-avdevice --disable-avfilter --disable-avformat --disable-d3d11va --disable-dxva2 --disable-vaapi --disable-vda --disable-vdpau --disable-videotoolbox --enable-decoder=flac --enable-asm --enable-x86asm

+$ grep -E ".*_(INDEV|OUTDEV|DECODER|ENCODER|DEMUXER|MUXER|PARSER|FILTER|HWACCEL|PROTOCOL|ENCODERS|DECODERS|HWACCELS|INDEVS|OUTDEVS|FILTERS|DEMUXERS|MUXERS|PROTOCOLS) 0" config.asm > ~/Work/Mozilla/mozilla-central/media/ffvpx/defaults_disabled.asm
+
+All new decoders/muxers/encoders/... should be added in the list of dummy functions found in libavcodec/dummy_funcs.c
+otherwise linkage will fail on Windows. On other platforms they are optimised out and aren't necessary.
+The GNU comm utility is a useful tool to compare and extract only the changes.
+
+To update the source tree, perform a diff on the files listed in FILES.
+The diffs should typically apply to the ffvpx tree.
+e.g. something like this would do:
+Run in the ffmpeg original tree:
+$ for i in `cat $PATH_CENTRAL/media/ffvpx/FILES`; do diff $REV_LASTSYNC HEAD >> patch.diff; done
+Then apply patch.diff on the ffvpx tree.
+Compilation will reveal if any files are missing.
