Very simple: sometimes the ABI is still broken unintentionally, sometimes the ABI is "made" compatible by declaring things as not part of the ABI (decoder names as a real example from the past), thus it is entirely reasonable to print this information and require bugs to be tested with matching versions. In addition FFmpeg only promises ABI _backwards_ compatibility. In the linked ffplay report it was compiled against a newer version than the one it is run against though. There is no promise that will work. Reimar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
