I get an error (сompiler MSVC 19.39.33523):

ffmpeg\libavutil\wchar_filename.h(60,32): error C2440: '=': cannot convert from 'void *' to 'char *'

I explicitly cast the result of the av_malloc_array function to char* and there is no more error.

*filename = (char*)av_malloc_array(num_chars, sizeof **filename);

Please make an explicit cast from void* to char*.
