So you mean your users have tu update your application to have it handle
new types in more recent FFmpeg?

How do they do if you moved to another project and do not update?

What do they do if in the meantime you raised your prices?

My version is superior: I put the unknown options in a text entry
widget, as text, and they work immediately. If later I update the
application, they will work nice, but they already work now.

This is the kind of thing you have to think about when you design an
API.
