update ffmpeg version

[MoonDusk1996]

I was facing difficulties when building this because of the ffmpeg version, in the process I realized that version 6.1 was what worked correctly for me, apparently there is no problem

I'll check it out. The Readme should not be changed because the FFMPEG (ffmpeg library) version number is supposed to be different from ffmpeg-next (cargo crate) as they are two different things. Can you check what version of ffmpeg do you have installed?

$ ffmpeg -version

for example:

ffmpeg version 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 11 (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1)

In fact, I didn't know they were different things. This is my return:

ffmpeg version n6.1.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 13.2.1 (GCC) 20230801

Building this fork on arch with rust works for me

let's put a pin on it for the time being, obviously once we bump up the ffmpeg-next version the requirement for ffmpeg changes, and I want to make sure that the main ffmpeg library v6 has time to "settle" and be available everywhere before updating this system-wide library requirement

I'd be interested to know if people managed to build and run tplay after updating ffmpeg to version 6... The crate that this project uses, ffmpeg-next, still doesn't support ffmpeg v6 ( I just tried)!

(i'm Marelpup) the moondusk branch uses ffmpeg 6 and it seems to work fine

[maxcurzi]

Sounds good, I'll try setting it up and update it once I have a bit of downtime!

So I had some issues trying to install ffmpeg versions after 4 and as far as I understand it ffmpeg versions 6+ aren't supported on ubuntu 22.04.

It's nice to have the latest and greatest Ubuntu version but since the next LTS version (24.04) just came out (more or less) I don't want to suddenly drop support for ubuntu 22.04

apt policy ffmpeg
ffmpeg:

A better solution would be for this crate to check if ffmpeg 6+ is installed and if so use the corresponding ffmpeg-next crate. It should be doable.
