Could Natron give problems on ffmpeg5.0 ...

Im Asking cos archlinux/manjaro updated ffmpeg (From 4.4 to 5.0) and arch replaced some stuff at chromium (to make it ffmpeg5 compatible) https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/a4401d45a9c70a6c0a25f008890f8404ce5a6a08

Additional details

ffmpeg5 replaced their apis https://ffmpeg.org/ so it miiiight give problems

The only major change is deprecation of old APIs, and we did that some time ago. Natron lnux binaries are still being built with ffmpeg 4.4.1.

We will upgrade when 5.0 is considered stable enough (usually when https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/multimedia/ffmpeg.html is updated)

we don't care what arch linux has, since we bring our own build of ffmpeg with Natron
