[SOLVED] Two Providers for qt6-multimedia-backend

I attempted to perform a system upgrade a few minutes ago and received the following message:

:: There are 2 providers available for qt6-multimedia-backend:
:: Repository extra
   1) qt6-multimedia-ffmpeg  2) qt6-multimedia-gstreamer

I'm not sure which one to choose or does it matter? I have both ffmpeg and gstreamer installed.

Re: [SOLVED] Two Providers for qt6-multimedia-backend

Decided to do a bit of Internet sleuthing about the issue. Based on the following, it appears you should choose the qt6-multimedia-ffmpeg provider.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmultimedia-index.html, Target platform and backend notes section.
