Description Martin Väth 2018-06-14 19:11:43 UTC

Although media-video/mplayer-1.3.0-r5 compiles w/ ffmpeg-4 (but see bug 655442) the mencoder program built is practically broken since it completely lacks support for lavc.

For the user this manifests as described here:

The only reasonable workaround seems to use a newer svn snapshot of mplayer
(see also the above link).
