  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;The layered video playout server created by Sveriges Television,
  15 &lt;a href=&quot;https://casparcg.com/&quot;&gt;CasparCG Server&lt;/a&gt;, entered Debian
  16 today.  This completes many months of work to get the source ready to
  17 go into Debian.  The first upload to the Debian NEW queue happened a
  18 month ago, but the work upstream to prepare it for Debian started more
  19 than two and a half month ago.  So far
  20 &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/casparcg-server&quot;&gt;the
  21 casparcg-server package&lt;/a&gt; is only available for amd64, but I hope
  22 this can be improved.  The package is in contrib because it depend on
  23 the &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fdk-aac&quot;&gt;non-free fdk-aac
  24 library&lt;/a&gt;.  The Debian package lack support for streaming web pages
  25 because Debian is missing CEF, Chromium Embedded Framework.  CEF is
  26 wanted by several packages in Debian.  But because the Chromium source
  27 is &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/893448&quot;&gt;not available as a build
  28 dependency&lt;/a&gt;, it is not yet possible to upload CEF to Debian.  I
  29 hope this will change in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  30
  31 &lt;p&gt;The reason I got involved is that
  32 &lt;a href=&quot;https://frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;the Norwegian open channel
  33 Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt; is starting to use CasparCG for our HD playout, and I
  34 would like to have all the free software tools we use to run the TV
  35 channel available as packages from the Debian project.  The last
  36 remaining piece in the puzzle is Open Broadcast Encoder, but it depend
  37 on quite a lot of patched libraries which would have to be included in
  38 Debian first.&lt;/p&gt;
