Errors using hardware acceleration by setting config.renderer = "OpenGL"

[cdw3423git]

When I try and use the OpenGL renderer I get some very odd errors. I've read that to get it to work you have to have the right version of several libraries. I'm not sure how to find the version of all the libraries it uses but here is what I do know.
Windows 10 Pro Build 19045.5737
Python 3.9.13
ffmpeg version 8.0-full_build-www.gyan.dev
NVIDIA RTX A4000 Driver Version 31.0.15.5152
Manim Community v0.19.0

Any help on getting the OpenGL renderer working so I can use hardware acceleration to speed this up would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I was getting an warning about not being able to find ffmpeg, but it still worked fine. I had about 6 different copies of ffmpeg.exe installed with other software but none of them were in the path. I downloaded the full build and added it to the path so now the warning is gone. What I want to know is how did it even work at all before?

an warning about not being able to find ffmpeg

that can safely be ignored, ManimCE 0.19.0 does not need an external installation of ffmpeg anymore

I get some very odd errors

without any more details it's impossible to tell what's happening
