Yeah, I've heard that too and have done it as well, but it's a pain to
remember to replace it each time I do security updates on my system.
Not knowing the development process I'm just curious how, if the old
one works, it's not tossed back into .26? Why is there still a broken
component in .26?

Kevin, I'm not on master, but are you saying that it could be external
ffmpeg code? Should I be updating my ffmpeg and see if that fixes the
issue?
