mlt-6.6.0

[Pierre Labastie]

mlt development has moved to github. There is a new version at ​https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/releases/download/v6.6.0/mlt-6.6.0.tar.gz.

This version fixes a failure when opencv-3.4.0 is installed (there were API changes in this version of opencv):

Should we move to 8.2, or just wish that users won't try to build mlt with opencv-3.4.0?

I've tested mlt build (not run yet). the only other user of mlt is kdenlive (requires mlt): not tested yet

Another user of opencv is gstreamer-plugins-bad (optional), which does not detect opencv-3.4.0 (configure explicitly limits the version to 3.3). Not a big deal I guess, but maybe a note about broken opencv support should be dropped there.

Other users of opencv are:

• ffmpeg (I built ffmpeg before opencv, so not tested)
• vlc (the opencv module is built. I've not tested it, and I do not know how...)

Please go ahead and update for 8.2.

This version builds upon the previous release with performance improvements
using the sliced image processing framework. It also improves compatibility
with dependencies (FFmpeg, Qt 5, SDL 2, NDI, OpenCV, libebur128).

mlt_slices_count_fifo()
MLT_SLICES_COUNT environment variable
Added mlt_log_timings_now() to mlt_log.
Added mlt_image_yuv422p16 image format.
Added mlt_image_format_planes() and mlt_image_format_id() to mlt_frame.
Added mlt_service_disconnect_all_producers() and

Looks like kdenlive works (I have a very limited understanding of what it does). Fixed at r19883
