Bug 678150 – media-video/mplayer-1.3.0-r5 with media-video/ffmpeg-3.4.5 - video playback fails

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Alex Efros 2019-02-16 15:01:25 UTC]

After upgrading media-video/ffmpeg-3.3.6 to 3.4.5 my mplayer stop working - on start it shows distorted screenshot of midnight commander (I start mplayer from mc), eventually I hear chunks of video's sound, pressing "q" multiple times result in returning from mplayer to mc after several seconds. I don't see anything unusual in system logs. Downgrading back to media-video/ffmpeg-3.3.6 fixed the issue.

Could be this unintended ABI break in FFmpeg, will not be fixed upstream:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6861

[Comment 2 Alex Efros 2019-02-17 11:56:10 UTC]

I've tried to re-emerge mplayer-1.3.0-r5 after installing ffmpeg-3.4.5 - this doesn't helps. But mplayer-9999 works okay with ffmpeg-3.4.5.

[Comment 3 Alexis Ballier 2019-08-22 13:32:33 UTC]

mplayer-1.3.0-r5 works fine here with ffmpeg 4.1 & 4.2

please post the full log of what you think is a failed playback
