Description Daniel Frey 2010-07-11 00:28:35 UTC

MPlayer's SVN copy has support for external libass sources (such as media-libs/libass) or git sources.

I'd like to request a new USE flag to disable the internal ASS renderer in MPlayer as it is incomplete. I didn't see any USE flag matching this description in mplayer-9999.

Reproducible: Always

Okay, this one took me a sec to figure out .. need to pass --disable-ass-internal

Okay, I broke that one ... and now it's fixed.

MPlayer was already using external libass.  We're not going to use internal one at all, since upstream added it for lazy users.
