I was talking about versions, because thats what I use it for. A 
different provider would be e.g libav,but in meta-kodi I have older 
versions of ffmpeg
called ffmpeg-6 and ffmpeg-7 and let them provide virtual/ffmpeg. Dont 
ask me why I didn't stick with
preferred_version. I only remember that I had issues with using it but 
not exactly what it was. But if you think this
is the way it should be, I can give it another try
