currently depends on the ffmpeg port is change ...
Sounds more like wishful thinking to me :) Some port maintainers will
actually "maintain", and some will not; some users will update, and some
will not. The end result of that is pretty chaotic - many "required"
versions. I never even knew there was more than a single FFmpeg until I
submitted this ticket!
AFAIK, my only "dependency" was 'yt-dlp', but I "fixed" that a few weeks
ago: I no longer use the MacPorts version of 'yt-dlp'; I've installed from
the GitHub source & use the '-U' option to keep it updated. I've not had
any conflicts so far... I assume 'yt-dlp' maintains the proper FFmpeg
components in a dedicated folder structure that's separate from the FFmpeg
library I installed from MacPorts.
Anyway - I surely do appreciate your efforts here!
