Bug 5602

First, I apologize for posting this in the Fedora section, but the EPEL variant does not have standard ffmpeg choices, just ffmpeg-compat (unsure whether to use that) and ffmpeg2theora.

Presently ffmpeg 4.2.2-1.el8 is installed on my system. Newly available in 4.2.2-5.el8 which has added a dependency on libsrt. This does not exist in the currently available repos on EL8 that I can find (EL8, RPM Free/Nonfree), etc. How was this package built and where can users find these packages? The change in the -5 release was to explicitly enable libsrt usage.

https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/free/ffmpeg.git/tree/ffmpeg.spec?h=el8#n431

Is it generically safe to just ignore this package and force the install anyways?
