So for what it's worth, after writing this out and going over what it
takes, I have ffmpeg finally working:
x264 @20171225_0 (active)
x265 @2.8_1 (active)
x265 @2.9_0
Something has to be out of date, and at least this is the least out of
date.
FWIW, this combination works on High Sierra, and is entirely up to date:
# port installed ffmpeg x26?
The following ports are currently installed:
ffmpeg @4.0.2_1+gpl2 (active)
x264 @20171225_0 (active)
x265 @2.9_0 (active)
I STRONGLY advise removing all outdated inactive ports before doing any
significant port upgrades and never tell 'port' to skip dependencies
when upgrading. In this case, the ffmpeg *PORT* does not care about
which precise version of the x265 libraries it links against but the
ffmpeg *BINARY* fully specifies the precise version, apparently because
the x265 maintainers don't understand versioning for dynamic libraries
or maybe they really change the interface with every minor update...
In short: *UNINSTALL* all versions of ffmpeg and all outdated versions
of x265, then re-install ffmpeg, which will use the one true latest
version of x265 (package version 2.9.0, library version 165.0.0.)
