Without static linking, Sunshine will stop working whenever you update FFmpeg. We also don't use the system installed FFmpeg by default, as we pre-compile our own version with patches that improve performance in game streaming applications. We mostly advice against using the system installed version of FFmpeg, and do not provide support for that use case. |
