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 --=-c5kcftGqpIK1RK3lbQAK Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
