I think it will take a bit of time as seems upgrading to Windows 11 and VS2022 again brought instability with no expiation. After I solve it I am going to build full CI/CD pipeline and start to look for replacement for CppSharp as it feels like it dying project - maybe I wrong - I'll reach Autor first. As I already made a lot of hacks to make it work and that is not a good idea for a long run.

@iamcarbon which version of runtime you are using? As I think I have discard legacy tail in targets - it definitely will simplify support. As even NET 5.0 is not supported.
And I have even older versions: netstandard2.1;netstandard2.0;net472;net45;net40.

We’re on .NET 6.0. I would strongly consider dropping all legacy targets and only targeting net6.0 for maintainability.

Okay got it - as it seems to be directions - and I should push others.
and update on the progress - it is quite finicky as I didn't expect that many changes between 5.0 and 5.1.
As FFmpeg team introduced new type conversions which are looking as bug - long double - I had extended discussion with some folks which lead to nowhere as we have to go from headers to implementation (but that we can ignore and wait till some one going to file another bug - but am checking that)
So this was the first guy:

typedef union
{   // pun floating type as integer array
    unsigned short _Sh[4];
    long double _Val;
} _ldouble_val

New macroses came now as well - as I have to recall what I did 5 years back then in the parsing part and now it all is new.
I'll link PR as soon I have by pass solution. I have to admit CppSharp hadn't had a lot of updates recently and having a chat with the author wise thing - as I need 2017, 2019 and 2022 VS to run generation on my pc and I am scratching a had - I could probably revert all project structures to 2017 - thank you - no go - keep you posted.
Most important one in bold on the top.
The rest just emotional.)
I'll get there.
