Steps to reproduce:

hello,

I'm using the official linux x64 binaries. I also upgraded my system ffmpeg from 6.1.2 to 7.1.1

Actual results:

as a result, all video playback in seamonkey was disabled

Expected results:

seamonkey should pull the new ffmpeg-7 headers, they were recently added to firefox

I found this firefox pullrequest to include the ffmpeg-7 headers: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D206922

trying to cc Frank-Rainer Grahl - can you please have a look at the above issues with ffmpeg-7 at runtime?

updating the headers should be easy, but I'm lacking the confidence to backport the runtime support.

website as an example to stop working with ffmpeg-7 at runtime: https://www.ardmediathek.de/

its public tv station, hopefully no geoblocking? any video there will stop working for me, unless I downgrade to ffmpeg-6

This will not happen fast. Not much time and needs prerequisites and source changes because the api changed.

indeed, the runtime support is propably going to be a time consuming effort.

ping me anytime if you need help with testing any possible patches
