BinaryProvider is an old and unmaintained package which reaches into Julia's internals, but it isn't compatible with recent Julia versions on many platforms, e.g. Apple Silicon (this architecture is more recent than latest version of BinaryProvider) and Windows. Sometimes the resolver favours particularly old versions of packages which used to require BinaryProvider, causing errors and frustration for users who don't know what to do.

I'm capping to Julia v1.10 (included) to avoid too much churn for environments instantiated with stable versions of Julia, but I'm happy to discuss this.
I verified that installing
FFMPEG_jllfirst andPlotsafterwards with this PR on Julia v1.11 installs a version ofFFMPEGwhich doesn't useBinaryProvider(since it isn't installable) and only downgradesFFMPEG_jllto a lower version.
