Subject:	AreaDetector ADFFmpeg with FFmpeg 5.1

Hi tech-talk,

We are in the process of updating our systems to Debian Bookworm. The currently available FFmpeg toolchain packages for Bookworm are on version 5.1. Are there any plans to update the ADFFmpeg plugin to support this? I’m currently trying to update our fork of the plugin, but I’m running into some hard-to-find runtime errors that I’m sure are some combination of my unfamiliarity with the new API, and the fact that I’m using the pre-built FFmpeg library without debug symbols. If there isn’t yet an existing effort to do this, I’m happy to start.
