Message:

ffmpeg5 update: Disable video acceleration in VLC.

It does not compile due to major changes in the ffmpeg API.

Upstream has stated at ​https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/1245
and ​https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/26498 that video
acceleration will not be available until VLC-4 due to complexity.
