As far as I can tell, there is no replacement for this function.
We'll deal with it when ffmpeg 4.0 comes out, hopefully they will have fixed their own code and provided an alternative by then.
Until then, you can silence the warnings with --without-strict.

Fixes:

• r19035 + r19040: "avcodec2" decoder fixed - the function should no longer be called
• r19036: "ffmpeg" encoder now requires ffmpeg 4+ - not backported, this encoder should not be used anyway (blocked by #1463)

For platform packaging of ffmpeg 4, see r19039 and #1751

@devurandom: this ticket is closed as fixed, it will not receive further updates.

[Antoine Martin]

Workaround removed in r26267 as xpra v4 no longer supports older versions of ffmpeg.
