ffmpeg 6.1 release does not support drawtext

[cainlevy]

Yesterday, our builds were succeeding with ffmpeg build 6.0. Today, they are failing with ffmpeg build 6.1 because of a missing drawtext filter.

[AVFilterGraph @ 0x6c7a600] No such filter: 'drawtext'

Hmm, this appears to be an upstream issue with either the johnvansickle.com build or ffmpeg 6.1 itself.

The most useful fix with setup-ffmpeg would be an option to pin to a specific release.

I worked around the issue by replacing this GitHub action with the following. It's not as good as FedericoCarboni/setup-ffmpeg (no tool caching or runner detection) but it gets the job done.

      - name: Download FFMpeg release
        run: |
          curl -O -L https://github.com/FedericoCarboni/setup-ffmpeg/releases/download/ffmpeg-6.0-20231101/ffmpeg-linux-x64.tar.gz
          tar xzvf ffmpeg-linux-x64.tar.gz
          chmod a+x ./ffmpeg
          chmod a+x ./ffprobe
          mv ffmpeg ffprobe /usr/local/bin

I'm closing this issue because it doesn't appear to be related to this GitHub action.
