    initial v1  
    1 I don't like replying to closed tickets but this one doesn't make sense to me.
     1The option to build mplayer against the system installed ffmpeg is in the book but doesn't have a good description. It's --disable-ffmpeg_a
    22
    3 Specifically the patch for mplayer itself for upstream ffmpeg6 fixes.
    4 MPlayer-1.5 ships with a bundled ffmpeg-5.1. The book doesn't build mplayer agasinst the system ffmpeg so why bother patching for it?  If your're going to go through the hassle of patching it why not just pull in a snapshot of mplayer before release? If you did that and built against the system ffmpeg you could ditch the 2 patches and not worry if they need to be updated each release.
     3configure --help gives:
     4{{{
     5  --disable-ffmpeg_a        disable static FFmpeg [autodetect]
     6  --disable-ffmpeg_so       disable shared FFmpeg [autodetect]
     7}}}
    58
    6 The option to build mplayer against the system installed ffmpeg is in the book but doesn't have a good description. It's --disable-ffmpeg_a
     9The book says:
     10
     11--disable-ffmpeg_a: You can use this option if you have installed a version of ffmpeg prior to ffmpeg-6.0. This version of MPlayer is incompatible with the latest version of ffmpeg. MPlayer does include a copy of the FFmpeg source and without this option it will statically compile the included version of FFmpeg into itself.
     12
     13Since the book does use ffmpeg-6, that option is not appropriate for us.
