Currently smplayer has the following runtime dependencies: RDEPEND="${COMMON_DEPEND} || ( media-video/mplayer[bidi?,libass,png,X] ( >=media-video/mpv-0.15.0[libass,X] >=net-misc/youtube-dl-2014.11.26 ) ) " Which means I have to install youtube-dl if I want to use mpv and not mplayer as a backend. This should be changed so that youtube-dl is not a requirement to use mpv as a backend for smplayer (perhaps move youtube-dl to a useflag?).

This patch removes the net-misc/youtube-dl package RDEPEND line and adds an informative pkg_postinst message instead to advise the user to install the net-misc/youtube-dl package for URL support.
