Using chromium-ffmpeg in third-party browser snaps

doc
51

Hi, Vivaldi browser (who I work for) is looking at adding our product to the snap store. Like Opera, we would use “chromium-ffmpeg”. However unlike Opera we support three architectures amd64, arm64 and armhf.

Since only amd64 binaries are provided for “chromium-ffmpeg”, this prevents install of a local, test Vivaldi snap on the arm based architectures.

Would you be open to supporting arm64 and armhf for “chromium-ffmpeg” in the future?

EDIT 1: I see the error mentions i386 is available, which seems weird given Opera (the only packaging using this of currently AFAICT) does not not have a i386 package.

EDIT 2: Ok, I looked at the meta data on that package and see that the i386 package is wildy out of date having been last updated in May 2023. So I assume this arch is effectively dead as far as “chromium-ffmpeg” goes anyway.
