Package: mpv Version: 0.18.0-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, First of all a big thanx to the whole multimedia team for taking such good care of us (the users) for so many years and making life simpler for us.
Now, I read #831537 and while the bug seems to have been fixed in the git repo. it is yet to flow down to us (i.e. the users). But more than that, a new upstream version has been launched by mpv.io with the following statement - "Note: Running mpv with different versions of the FFmpeg/Libav libraries than it was compiled with is no longer supported. Even supposedly ABI-compatible versions have been a source of trouble, and it creates far too much complexity with little to no benefit, coupled with absurd and unusable FFmpeg API artifacts. Instead, mpv will exit with an error when such a situation is detected. This simply means that mpv needs to be rebuilt whenever FFmpeg libraries change." https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases What this probably means in long-term that the multimedia team would have to either of these three things - a. Abandon mpv b. Maintain mpv independantly and use ffmpeg versions that we are comfortable with, OR lastly c. Move to a scenario where both ffmpeg and mpv are in sync with each other. The 3rd may not be possible as it would probably would mean more transition cycles and to deal with the fall-outs of rebuilding failures along with other things. The first option would be easiest but like many people, I have started using mpv more than any other media player so I would be sad to see it go, if that happens. The second option seems to be where we are now and at least for the short-term this is where we probably would be for sometime. People could use this bug as an excuse as what they see the roadmap in the next 6-8 months to a year in respect of mpv and the ffmpeg libraries. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mpv depends on: ii libasound2 1.1.1-2 ii libass5 0.13.2-1 ii libavcodec57 7:3.1.1-3 ii libavdevice57 7:3.1.1-3 ii libavfilter6 7:3.1.1-3 ii libavformat57 7:3.1.1-3 ii libavutil55 7:3.1.1-3 ii libbluray1 1:0.9.3-2 ii libc6 2.23-4 ii libcdio-cdda1 0.83-4.2+b1 ii libcdio-paranoia1 0.83-4.2+b1 ii libcdio13 0.83-4.2+b1 ii libdrm2 2.4.70-1 ii libdvdnav4 5.0.3-1 ii libdvdread4 5.0.3-1 ii libegl1-mesa [libegl1-x11] 11.2.2-1 ii libenca0 1.18-1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 11.2.2-1 ii libguess1 1.2-1.1 ii libjack0 [libjack-0.116] 1:0.124.1+20140122git5013bed0-3 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.0-1 ii liblcms2-2 2.7-1 ii liblua5.2-0 5.2.4-1 ii libpulse0 9.0-1.1 ii librubberband2 1.8.1-6+b1 ii libsdl2-2.0-0 2.0.4+dfsg2-1 ii libsndio6.1 1.1.0-2 ii libswresample2 7:3.1.1-3 ii libswscale4 7:3.1.1-3 ii libva-wayland1 1.7.1-2 ii libva-x11-1 1.7.1-2 ii libva1 1.7.1-2 ii libvdpau1 1.1.1-3 ii libwayland-client0 1.11.0-2 ii libwayland-cursor0 1.11.0-2 ii libwayland-egl1-mesa [libwayland-egl1] 11.2.2-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b1 ii libxkbcommon0 0.5.0-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii libxv1 2:1.0.10-1+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages mpv recommends: ii xdg-utils 1.1.1-1 ii youtube-dl 2016.06.25-1 mpv suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
