Updating ffmpeg-obs

I'm experiencing conflicts with ffmpeg and ffmpeg-obs also. I ignored ffmpeg and all packages that depend on it, and did a partial upgrade. attemptin to rebuil ffmpeg-obs and obs-browser-source still give this error:

When I attempt to remove ffmpeg-obs and obs-studio-browser yay returns this error:

Re: Updating ffmpeg-obs

I ignored ffmpeg and all packages that depend on it, and did a partial upgrade. attemptin to rebuil ffmpeg-obs

… so ffmpeg-obs will be too new for all its dependencies.
Remove obs-studio-browser, replace ffmpeg-obs w/ ffmpeg, update the system, re-install/update ffmpeg-obs and obs-studio-browser

You can possibly also "pacman -Ud ffmpeg-obs…tar.zst" (this will skip the version check) and then fully update the system (ie. the ffmpeg dependencies)
