## Usage
Install the script (see installation) and run it using dmenu. Make sure to edit the config file to match your system.

## Installation
Download the [script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/speediegamer/dfmpeg/main/dfmpeg) and save it to /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or any other path specified in your shell's $PATH variable. Then chmod +x it to make sure it's executable.

If /bin/sh isn't an alias then edit the script and change #!/bin/sh to a shell on your Linux system.

## Notes
- This script IS fully POSIX compliant.
- This script has ffmpeg and dmenu as a dependency
- If you are on Gentoo, enable X, xcb and libdrm USE flags for the ffmpeg package
- Rofi support might become a patch later on.
