Original author isn't involved with this fork AFAIK, but fixes from SoX are backported which is why the author may appear in the commit history.

> Opus is also now supported in WebM, but you still can't just decode Ogg Opus

Apparently Ogg Opus and Ogg Vorbis has been supported since 18.4 (Mar 2025)[1]

I think it would be great to see more adoption of Opus in podcasting personally.

Google would retain copyright to all of it's employees contributions to Chromium. Which I recall being 90%+ of contributions. The propsal PDF from justice.gov doesn't mention Chromium anywhere, so maybe Google will retain copyrights, but the sale would seem pointless if they do.

The real question is to what level Google continue investment in Chrome after the sale. Remember both Mozilla and Apple will also loose out on the search engine deal.

In my input.conf file I've created filter keyboard shortcuts:

  F1 af toggle "acompressor=ratio=4,loudnorm"
  F2 vf toggle "bwdif"

First one is an alright dynamic range compressor (makes the loud parts quieter and quieter parts loud). Second is a deinterlace at default settings. These are standard ffmpeg filters and mpv let's you turn these on in real time.

You can actually do this with YouTube. By search for MOV001 etc.

Mental Outlaw did a video demonstrating this a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Ho_KDPi_U

It was a journey for sure. I never contributed code, but color schemes and emojis. But I always enjoy Andreas' Serenity videos, even some coding videos were good (I cannot code). These are special and will forever live in my heart.
