It's 11 at night and I'm compiling ffmpeg via source because there's a subtle difference in the silence removal tool somewhere between v4 – which is used in production – and v6 – which is on my Mac.

It’s taken me about 90 minutes just to come to that realisation.

At least I HOPE that's the realisation. Otherwise, something absolutely wild is happening in Docker.

#ffmpeg #docker #intractableDeveloperProblems

Confirmed.

Just updated from ffmpeg 4 to 6 and the silence remover is now behaving as expected.

All I'd planned to do – about 4 hours ago – was update the product demo video with a new feature released over the weekend. But building and managing your own SaaS is basically like being the dad from Malcom in the Middle trying to change a lightbulb.
