AJ ONeal 9f28505af7 ref: delete unreachable upstream-fetcher modules
Stacked on the modifications PR. Now that no live code path references
the per-package fetchers, the shared HTTP/parsing helpers, the
in-process normalizer, or the example template, delete them. Pure
deletion — no behavior change.

- ~93 per-package <pkg>/releases.js fetcher modules.
- _common/{brew,fetcher,git-tag,gitea,github,github-source,
  githubish,githubish-source}.js shared HTTP/parsing helpers.
- _webi/normalize.js in-process normalization layer (cache files
  arrive normalized from webicached).
- _example/releases.js fetcher template for new packages.

The Go cache daemon (webicached) is now the sole producer of release
metadata; the Node process never makes an upstream request.

ffmpeg https://ffmpeg.org/ FFmpeg: A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.

To update or switch versions, run webi ffmpeg@stable (or @v4.4, @beta, etc).

Files

These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this install:

~/.config/envman/PATH.env
~/.local/bin/ffmpeg

Cheat Sheet

FFmpeg is useful for converting between various audio, video, and image formats.

Many simple conversions can be auto-detected by file extension and the options that produce the most similar quality by default.

ffmpeg -i input.m4a output.mp3

Important information per https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/release-readme.txt

Notes: A limitation of statically linking glibc is the loss of DNS resolution. Installing nscd through your package manager will fix this.

This is relevant if using ffmpeg to relay to an RTMP server via domain name.

# for example, this will not work without `nscd` installed.

ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -i "FooBar.m4v" -c copy -f flv rtmp://stream.example.com/foo/bar
