Currently our FFMPEGMediaPlayer only supports FFmpeg up to version 3. Support using the current FFmpeg version 4.*, which is used in Debian-10 and other distributions today. +++ Also take care of optional non-system ffmpeg libraries, potential packaged w/ JogAmp. For this, we should provide a choice via properties and allow loading an internal library name upfront, e.g. 'internal_avutil'. This will also resolve Bug 1356.

jogl commit 2be7001101dbb16e5264c9c38b9764ba1e39ab5c Bug 1420: Add FFMpeg 4.* versioned lib-names and provide optional internal lib lookup New property 'jogl.ffmpeg.lib' may be set to 'internal', setting PREFER_SYSTEM_LIBS:=false (default it true) Non system internal libraries are named 'internal_<basename>', e.g. 'internal_avutil'. System default libraries are named '<basename>', e.g. 'avutil'. If PREFER_SYSTEM_LIBS is true (default), we lookup the default library first, then the versioned library names and last the internal library. If PREFER_SYSTEM_LIBS is false, we lookup the internal library first, then the versioned library names and last the default library. +++ TODO: Resolve FFmpeg 4.* API differences to previous 3.* version.
commit 2ecf00d7733c473358b652c50b83cb95f65174ff Date: Thu Feb 23 22:18:39 2023 +0100 FFMPEGMediaPlayer: Add implementation update for FFmpeg version 4.* (Debian 11), 5.* (Debian 12) and 6.* (Current Development trunk) From here on, libav support has been dropped. Required FFmpeg libraries to be fully matched by their major runtime- and compiletime-versions are: - avcodec - avformat - avutil - swresample Library avdevice is optional and only used for video input devices (camera). Library avresample has been removed, since FFmpeg dropped it as well in version 6.* and swresample is preferred for lower versions. The matching major-versions of each library to the FFmpeg version is documented within FFMPEGMediaPlayer class API-doc. Each implementation version uses the non-deprecated FFmpeg code-path and compilation using matching header files is warning-free.
