I have no problem with 4.4 release version of ffmpeg, the commit you provided is on master

Sorry, million other things im catching up on.

Yes, im using master, the depreciated api calls that were depreciated back in ffmpeg-3.1 are being removed in the next release (coming afaik in Q1-2022, so rather soon).

My projects that rely on tg_owt will be non-functional soon, and i submitted this bug request pre-emptively before the release.

None of the issues this bug request is relative to unstable api changes in 4.4.2+, but rather depreciation from 3.1-4.0 that are now officially removed for next version.

Well, no development happens in this repo, this repo provides cmake files for the Google WebRTC library. If your bug is related to the code, you should report it upstream, not here.
