Is zlib necessary?

Added by glazed donut almost 12 years ago

Hi all

I am compiling tvheadend on my Synology NAS. And I can't seem to add zlib support.

Is that a problem? What am I not getting when zlib is disabled?

Regards,
tolborg

It's not necessary, you can disable it.

It is used for compression of web content (on the fly) when serving static pages. It's also used in the file bundling builds where the bundled resources may in fact be compressed in the bundle and some will need decompressing before they can be used. But if you disable zlib the bundle will simply not be compressed.
