Hi,
I've just updated kodi to the version you've provided, but the problem
still persists:

Furthermore there is a additional warning:

^there are a lot of these warnings, not only one.
And just for the record, with this versions (kodi and ffmpeg) there
aren't any problems / errors:

For my better understanding: Is it a good idea to use ffmpeg 4.4
(upstream fix or not), if the kodi team officially says: "We don't
support ffmpeg 4.4 yet"?
