Error: ‘thread’ in namespace ‘std’ does not name a type

#1

Hello!

I’m trying to get @NickHardeman 's https://github.com/NickHardeman/ofxFFmpegRecorder working on Ubuntu 18, and I’m running into compiler errors that I believe have to do with the compiler/gcc or C++ versions (log below).

Has anyone faced/overcome this in the past?

hmm you might need to add
#include <thread>

To the top of ofxFFmpegRecorder.h

if that doesn’t solve it you might want to open an issue on his GitHub repo?
