Bug 165114 – media-video/mplayer - allow using commas in list options

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Eugene Pavlovsky 2007-02-03 12:05:25 UTC]

Here's a patch against MPlayer-1.0rc1 to fix this bug http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=378
With the current version of mplayer, it's not possible to output files (-ao pcm:file=filename) containing commas, because mplayer's option parser strips the commas away. This patch makes it possible to produce files with commas by escaping (backslashing) the commas in the filename. I've submitted the patch to the MPlayer bugzilla, but they often respond very slowly.

Reproducible: Always

upstream issue, looks like it was fixed in their svn, should apply in our latest release as well
