ffpyplayer with ffmpeg will not build #3409

ffpyplayer needs a version of ffmpeg < 8.0.

It fails with "fatal error: 'libavcodec/avfft.h' file not found" because the FFmpeg header files were changed starting with ffmpeg v 8.0.

The pythonforandroid/recipes/ffmpeg recipe specifies "version = '8.0.1'"

Having tried for 2 months to find a workaround, maybe someone here can throw me a bone?

I have a hard time believing we can't show video with Kivy/p4a. It's one of the core purposes for android apps.

Someone please point out the errors of my ways and get me back on the good foot.

Thanks in advance
