📌 Task summary

Add ffmpeg as an optional dependency for Karakeep

📋 Task details

i'd like to request adding ffmpeg as an optional install step for the Karakeep LXC script.

  1. yt-dlp requires ffmpeg to merge separate audio and video streams, which allows for downloading the highest available quality (1080p+). https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/README.md#format-selection
  2. adding flag --merge-output-format=mp4 is a workaround for macOS user to ensure video playback. https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/2250
