The latest version (v4.3.3) of FFMpeg supports HLS version 7, check out hls_segment_type option in the documentation.

hls_segment_type flags

  • Possible values:
    • ‘mpegts’
      • Output segment files in MPEG-2 Transport Stream format. This is compatible with all HLS versions.
    • ‘fmp4’
      • Output segment files in fragmented MP4 format, similar to MPEG-DASH. fmp4 files may be used in HLS version 7 and above.

You can also try generating HLS files then read EXT-X-VERSION in the generated plyalist (.m3u8) , which should be 7, means the protocol version.
