Which features are those?
Yes, some video filters cannot be built with shared libavcodec, please see configure for details. > Do they explicitly require static > linking with ffmpeg, instead of just using private header files? You cannot solve the problem you claim to have (I do not understand it) by including internal headers: They are internal because you must not include them to build a project that uses shared libavcodec. > If you look into the patch in my last email, you will notice that all files > that were conditioned on defining FFMPEG_A are still built with this patch > using private header-files from the local copy of ffmpeg, but ffmpeg itself > is not compiled. So you suggest to provide users with a MPlayer version that is guaranteed to break if they decide to update their libavcodec library? I don't think that would be a good idea.
