Is ffmpeg viable in Liferay DXP 7.0?

Issue

• Is ffmpeg a viable alternative to Xuggler to stream audio and video in Liferay DXP 7.0?

Environment

• DXP 7.0

Resolution

• Unfortunately, at this time FFMPEG is only compatible with Liferay 7.4. A feature request has been created to backport support for older versions, but from what I understand it is a very complex project to do so and as such the timeline for completion is TBD (not in the near future). Here is the link if you would like to follow: https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-155421.
