I'm sorry, but what? PR was filed yesterday, what 6 months are you talking about here? Please respect your fellow developers. We have other commitments and priorities and can't zero-day review a PR. It is not GStreamer fault that ffmpeg breaks API and ABI without parallel installability, much less so the distro maintainers of it. If you/upstream don't make it parallel installable, then this is what you get. Mart
