When I used the latest version of the 6.0-2 library to mix audio and video on the Android platform, I found that the -shortest parameter did not work. But there was no such problem before version 6.0. Can you fix this bug?

Description
When I used the latest version of the 6.0-2 library to mix audio and video on the Android platform, I found that the -shortest parameter did not work. But there was no such problem before version 6.0. Can you fix this bug?
Because sometimes the duration of the audio is longer than the duration of the video, the -shortest parameter must be used.
This is the command used to mix audio and video：
ffmpeg
-i video1.mp4 -i audio1.mp3
-c:v copy
-map 0:v -map 1:a
-shortest
-y output.mp4

Expected behavior
Hope the -shortest parameter will take effect, like in versions before 6.0.
Because sometimes the duration of the audio is longer than the duration of the video, the -shortest parameter must be used.

Current behavior
Mix audio and video on the Android platform, the -shortest parameter did not work，when the audio duration is longer than the video duration.

It sounds like this is coming from FFmpeg. Either it is a bug or a change in FFmpeg behaviour.

Can you test your command in desktop FFmpeg 6.0 and share the results?

@tanersener
I tested this command of mine in desktop FFmpeg 6.0 and got the same results.(The -shortest parameter did not work. )

It should be a bug in FFmpeg 6.0 itself, or a change in the behavior of FFmpeg 6.0.

Test Environment
Platform: Mac
Desktop System: macOS Sonoma 14.2.1
FFmpeg Version: 6.0-tessus

Thanks for your reply

Later, I tried it in desktop FFmpeg 6.0.1 and desktop FFmpeg 6.1.1 respectively.
The -shortest parameter did not work in desktop FFmpeg 6.0.1, but it worked in desktop FFmpeg 6.1.1.

Maybe it's a bug in FFmpeg 6.0 and FFmpeg 6.0.1, but this bug is fixed in FFmpeg 6.1.1

-shortest Parameter is invalid: FFmpeg 6.0 and FFmpeg 6.0.1
-shortest Parameter is valid: FFmpeg 6.1.1 and before FFmpeg 6.0

Test Environment
Platform: Mac
Desktop System: macOS Sonoma 14.2.1
FFmpeg Version: 6.0.1-tessus，6.1.1-tessus

This is the command used to mix audio and video：
ffmpeg
-i video1.mp4 -i audio1.mp3
-c:v copy
-map 0:v -map 1:a
-shortest
-y output.mp4

Can you upgrade the version of FFmpeg in your library to 6.1.1 on the Android platform?

Thanks.

Thanks for the tests. This confirms that it is an ffmpeg bug.

I don't have a date for the FFmpeg update. The plan is to complete it in the next few months. Until then, you can change the version yourself, in this line. That line defines which FFmpeg version will be compiled.
