I tried this patch on Neon with FFmpeg 2.8.14. KFileMetaData builds now because it detects that the FFmpeg module version numbers are too low. CMake log: P230 <https://phabricator.kde.org/P230> Few remarks: - In the log it says 3 times `Could NOT find FFmpeg (missing: HAVE_AVSTREAM_CODECPAR) (Required is at least version "<version number>")` with `<version number>` being different values. - In the log it shows now nowhere 2.8.14 for FFmpeg anymore. In the end it falsely says: `FFmpeg (required version >= 55.27)` - Instead of building on Neon without FFmpeg support KFileMetaData should just fall back to using the deprecated function name `AVCodecContext` or better we should revert 037208a787e0 <https://phabricator.kde.org/R286:037208a787e0c2412ab616ff1573c323a2346d2d> and 3415015e3d45 <https://phabricator.kde.org/R286:3415015e3d45ce485c5cdb1bc47698729deb8d98> as long as Neon is not with FFmpeg >= 3.1 (but improving the FFmpeg version detection as tried with this patch here would still be good of course).
