There are currently no MacOS builds. If you know how to add them to the workflow, make a PR
These patches have been applied to the builds:
HEVC inside FLV has been standardized by @Veovera, implemented by @T-bagwell and merged to FFmpeg master in aa83654 and ac5cc66.
Chinese sites seem to continue using an old non-standard way to deliver HEVC in FLV containers. These builds of FFmpeg support the decoding of such files.
Releases older than 6.1 also supported the encoding of such non-standard files. The implementation was assembled from patches by @xiaoxial, @runner365, and Matthieu Patou. See this comment for details.
