I know you had mention that anyway in your README.md, but do you think you could make it as top priority? I would love to use it on my Arch Linux!

In the meanwhile, I can build it myself, but I don't know exactly the instructions on Linux. Mind telling them up?

Hi,
thank you for your interest.
To make it run on linux there are several things that need to be taken care of which is why I didn't feel the urge to implement them yet:

  1. Windows specific functions like _popen are used to start ffmpeg or ffprobe (e.g. in filedropwidget.cpp)
  2. The CMakeLists is not adapted for linux support (e.g. WindeployQT is used)
  3. The linux binaries for ffmpeg are not included in the project

Unfortunately I don't have much time in the coming months and I'm not using linux that much that it would be a priority for myself.
If you want you can implement the fixes above for yourself, but for now that is all I can provide you with.
