I have been using 3.7.0 compiled for ASIO inclusion and it works OK. But neither 3.7.1 or 3.7.2, which compile correctly, actually have ffmpeg working so I can’t open file types such as mp3 etc. The ffmpeg elements appear to be present in the build but just don’t work as expected.
If I use git to download 3.7.2 it actually still says 3.7.1 in the help - about dialogue. Source download using --branch release-3.7.2 doesn’t actually download the release version but an alpha build.
Whether something is a release or alpha build depends on the cmake config. Haven’t built Audacity 3 in a while, but I believe it’s BUILD_LEVEL and RELEASE_TYPE
Also when compiling Audacity make sure you build the ALL_BUILD target, not just audacity - otherwise the mod-ffmpeg library never gets compiled.
Thanks. You have put me on the right track to get this working.

Change Audacity build level to 2 ( defaulted to 0) in Cmake Gui. This changed the “about” reference to 3.1 ( 3.2 was downloaded but I could easily change that at source level if it mattered).
-
Completely rebuild the solution in Visual Study before the final build to get ffmpeg module compiled and working.
Much obliged.
