A few words from Compiler, regarding this Version:
We've been stuck on FFmpeg 4.2 for over two years now, only up to git-2022-09-13-556758fd. Has OpenSSL received an update? As for dav1d, it’s still at version 0.6.0, with little change. A lot of code has been removed—possibly dead code?
I had to restore SpeedX due to build errors, though it might just be old, unused code that wasn’t disabled properly.
Anyway, it's included. And yes, you're seeing the file name correctly. So, MX didn’t update the version number. The file libffmpeg.mx.so.xxx.1.49.0 is correct, and using anything else will prevent MX from loading it.
