Hello. Earlier today after the usual sync with tree portage suggested to merge media-video/libav-9.17. I've read the news item regarding global ffmpeg and libav USE flags and I have both of them enabled in my make.conf. After successful update portage suggested to rebuild mplayer via @preserved-rebuild set. This rebuild also went fine. No other package changes aside from gegl rebuild to support libav USE flag were made on my system. After a while I've tried to open a random mp3 file on my machine in smplayer and now it throws 'Oops' complaining about mplayer error. I've tried other multimedia files that smplayer was able to playback without any problems before, but I got the same error. I haven't changed smplayer configuration one bit. Clearly the playback problems I am experiencing are caused by libav introduction to my system. Not sure who is misbehaving here libav, mplayer or smplayer. I've attached all the info I could've thought of. If you need additional info I am ready to provide it. Please fix. Reproducible: Always

If I try to playback multimedia files with `mplayer *filename*`, then there is no problems. mplayer opens files fine, so this is smplayer issue.
After quick googling I've found the related bug report in smplayer tracker: http://sourceforge.net/p/smplayer/bugs/665/
As far as I can tell stable smplayer in Gentoo needs to include changes from smplayer svn r6675 in order to work with stable mplayer/libav combination.
This is also reproducible with media-video/smplayer-14.9.0.6690-r1, which by the looks of it should be from revision 6690 and therefore include the mentioned fix. However, in reality smplayer is still broken.
It seems there is a missing dependency on media-libs/libpostproc. Could you install that and remerge mplayer, then try again?

Ping.
The solution to this bug was proposed by Ben de Groot and I can confirm it resolves this issue. Can we have it in tree please?
(In reply to Coacher from comment #16) > The solution to this bug was proposed by Ben de Groot and I can confirm it > resolves this issue. Can we have it in tree please? The problem is that it is an indirect dependency, and there is no postproc useflag on mplayer. We could depend on || ( media-video/ffmpeg[postproc] media-libs/libpostproc ) but that wouldn't trigger an mplayer rebuild. And on the mpv side this option is no longer supported at all. This should be fixed on the smplayer upstream side.

They claim they've fixed this, see URL. Or am I missing something? Can you reproduce this issue on your machine?

Or am I missing something? Can you > reproduce this issue on your machine? Revbump is now happening with media-video/smplayer-14.9.0.6690-r2, but that version fails to build (see bug #543546). IMHO it is a good time to adjust dependencies to workaround this issue as well. Otherwise all smplayer+mplayer users who decide to go along with the default Gentoo option for libav will be hit by this bug. And since revbump is already planned no additional rebuilds are needed for users.
What we need here is a postproc useflag in mplayer, to make sure it rebuilds against ffmpeg with postproc enabled.

And libav is no longer an option in ~arch mplayer ebuilds, so this is no longer an issue.
