Based on the answer by @Saurabh Thorat, I made a pull request which fixes the problem. You can find it here.

Quick summary:

Moved ffmpeg binary to the libs folder and added android:extractNativeLibs = "true" to the manifest so it can copy itself into /data/app/{package_name}/lib/{arch}/ and then execute it from there (which is supported on Android 10).

EDIT (for general use): In order for the executable files to be copied into /data/app/{package_name}/lib/{arch}/, the file names have to be lib(something).so. If the names don't start with lib and end with .so, they won't be copied.
