From f91126643a91c2d3f8d8e210c8facaf259951b03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 23:57:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lavu: add an API function to return the FFmpeg version string This returns something like "N-73264-gb54ac84". This is much more useful than the individual library versions, of which there are too much and which are very hard to map back to releases or git commits.
