FFmpeg 5.1 latest version included in August release
End of the month August release AppImages are now available for download which have the updated FFmpeg 5.1 version included. See the note below taken from the releasenotes.pdf file. I do not know if there will be any submitted changes next month so if not, there will not be a requirement to create new releases. I am hoping some developer out there will be motivated to add something new or make a change based on one of the requests in the Bug Tracker ! *GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 08/01/2022-08/31/2022* FFmpeg has been upgraded to version 5.1 from 4.4 . 10 new Audio plugins included are: F_adecorrelate, F_adynamicequalizer, F_adynamicsmooth, F_afwtdn, F_alatency, F_apsyclip, F_aspectralstats, F_atilt, F_tiltshelf, F_virtualbass 12 new Video plugins includes are: F_blockdetect, F_blurdetect, F_colorchart, F_colorspectrum, F_grayworld, F_hsvhold, F_hsvkey, F_latency, F_pixelize, F_scharr, F_siti Andrew-R updated all of the ffmpeg-4.4 patches to ffmpeg-5.1. Andrea updated the Plugins text info and opts as well as updated the Plugins section in the manual. 17 new video render formats have been provided by Andrew for some infrequently used options so that there is almost a complete set. Included are: apng.apng, avif.avif avrp.qt, avui.qt, ayuv.qt, cljr.qt, r10k.qt, rpza.qt, v408.qt, y41p.qt, yuv4.qt ffvhuff.mov, flashsv1.flv, flashsv2.flv pfm.pfm, phm.phm, qoi.qoi – single frame
Thanks, Phyllis. I noticed that in .../bin/ffmpeg/plugin.opts (and also in .../ffmpeg/plugin.opts, of course) the "new in 5.0" and "new in 5.1" sections are missing. However, the new plugins in this section are loaded into CinGG and work normally. I do not understand how this could happen; perhaps I sent you the wrong file. I am attaching the correct file again.
Other thing: The tarball of ffmpeg4 with related patches are still present in .../thirdparty/src/. They should be useless now and so can be removed (Andrew had requested this).

I did remove everything else that Andrew requested as long as it was over 1 month since the updated version. The reason I did not delete FFmpeg 4.4 source/patches yet is out of an abundance of caution. In the past when "package" releases were done, many users automatically got the updates so it was fairly clear right away when something was affected/broken by the new release. However, with AppImages probably 90%+ users no longer upgrade unless they become aware that there is a fix or improvement that makes it worth their time. So I am more concerned about the possibility that it takes a lot longer to determine if the new updated library has some problem. And also fixed the ffmpeg.git.patches to reflect 5.1 (which hopefully will work for all of 5.x upcoming versions).
Okay. Got it, thank you. Expanders.txt is OK; sorry I couldn't get into it.
Andrea,
I noticed that in .../bin/ffmpeg/plugin.opts (and also in .../ffmpeg/plugin.opts, of course) the "new in 5.0" and "new in 5.1" sections are missing.
"My bad" - I used the file you sent previously but put the new ones in alphabetical order at the top. I hope that is OK as I was using it to verify the plugins.txt file and found it much easier. And then left the broken ones on the bottom so that maybe someday it will be possible for a developer to make some code changes to get them working also. Could you verify "expanders.txt" in the main cinelerra-5.1 directory because I added to FF_Color_Correction, the new ffmpeg plugins of F_grayworld, F_hsvhold, F_hsvkey. To Artistic, I added F_pixelize and to Test, I added F_blockdetect, F_blurdetect, F_colorchart, and F_colorspectrum. I will change anything you suggest or maybe none of them should be added?

I fixed some minor errors and basically went back to your version with both the "new" and "broken" ones on the end. Sorry for the confusion. For some reason I got confused by both "blackdetect" and "blockdetect" but looked in ffmpeg's release notes to find out blockdetect is not new but apparently was just missing from the original plugin.opts. Also, deleted F_chromakey_cuda in the manual. Checked changes into GIT. Let me know if you see any other mistakes I may have introduced. And thanks again for providing plugin.opts and checking it for me. ...Phyllis
