[tracking] ffmpeg migration

[classabbyamp]

thanks to the various PRs by @zlice, we're close to finishing updating ffmpeg.

This is what remains:

• [x] audacity - #52375
• [x] electron19 - 158e132b9bf543f6bf0fab232e03b90b436b8d25
• [ ] electron24 - #55428
• [x] qt5-webengine - https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/51525
• [x] qt6-pdf - https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/51525
• [ ] mediastreamer - #55525
• [x] moc - #55521
• [x] olive - #55523
• [ ] tvheadend - still no 4.4 release, the 4.3 'dev' works
• [ ] vlc - vlc4 will support ffmpeg5, there's a patch to build 3.x with ffmpeg5 but it will lack vaapi

so i think this broke ffmpeg4 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/f1b17547d3fe8ae776a49c28593f87988f676374 - complains it can't find nvidia ERROR: nvenc requested but not found

also, to get rid of 4, may want to use w/e ffmpeg qt packages instead of system https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/53844#issuecomment-2575279740

I might be spitting nonsense but aren't you missing some libav* libraries' reverse dependencies on the list? I'm talking about ppsspp and rsgain. Not sure about qtav.

[zlice]

hm those both have 4 still...rsgain is not ringing any bells but i swore ppsspp was moved to 6.

[zlice]

kew is new too, using 4 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/kew/template

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/59fd9d1fc2700f824774a0fa17852b1c5cabdb31 *sigh* 6 actually breaks ppsspp

https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/15308#issuecomment-1925960243 a comment about not relying on ffmpeg as much

kew and rsgain should be tested a bit then if moved to 6. guessing 4 will still be around a bit because of vlc anyway

59fd9d1 sigh 6 actually breaks ppsspp

Wouldn't it be best to use their bundled FFmpeg then? Or I guess FFmpeg 4 could be changed so that it no longer conflicts with the other FFmpeg versions. But then you'd have to change all their #includes and their build to point to the older version.

Edit: On a second thought, they do have an official flatpak, so it might be better to just remove the package than package software that will bundle dependencies anyways.

[zlice]

both of these build fine with ffmpeg6

kew ffmpeg6 - https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/56024

rsgain ffmpeg6 - https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/56023
