R.I.P. mplayer / mencoder

LigH · 31st October 2018, 23:42

From time to time, something changes deep inside ffmpeg which makes it incompatible to embedding it into mplayer and mencoder.

It's already 4 weeks ago that I reported an issue with "blocker" severity to the mplayer trac.

Nobody cares anymore...

1st November 2018, 12:03

Why would they care at all?

microchip8 · 1st November 2018, 12:49

mplayer has many open tickets and no devs to resolve them, so this is no surprise at all. Their mail list has been quiet for months now too

pirlouy · 3rd November 2018, 11:39

Why would you not use mpv instead of mplayer ?

LigH · 3rd November 2018, 18:09

Well, "mplayer" is not just the name of a player, but also the name of the whole project providing the mencoder software too.

And mencoder has a slightly different CLI syntax, compared to ffmpeg, which makes some specific issues easier to handle – at least for my taste. As long as it lasts...

sneaker_ger · 4th November 2018, 18:16

mpv is also more than a player. (I don't know how much of the mplayer/mencoder use cases it covers.)

First of all,

for the fresh MPlayer release.

Even Redxii@sourceforge is two months late

GCC 8.x doesn't compile itself successfully in MinGW32, I believe ... unsolved issues for months already.

nevcairiel · 14th March 2019, 10:50

No-one should be using mingw32 anymore. Use mingw-w64, it also works in 32-bit just fine, and isn't years out of date. And GCC 8.3 compiles just fine with that in 32-bit, I know because I did that.

I will guess what LigH was trying to say is that MSYS2 didn't provide GCC 8.x for mingw-w64-i686 because of some build issues.

I don't know if this is still true since I never bothered to build a 32-bit toolchain.

EDIT: Ada ICE preventing the 32 bit build

So it should be fine if you only enable c and c++ (not tested)

Thanks for the info. Fortunately I have always enabled C and C++ only for my GCC releases, so I would never know that the 32-bit compilation problem existed in the GCC 8 series :-/

Regarding MABS — I really cannot help LigH with that, specially regarding the implications in the automated process(es)... I switched to MSYS2 from MSYS1 many moons ago, and I soon learned to NOT let pacman download or/and install GCC from the MSYS2 sources. I really don't know whether MABS can be configured (easily, or at-all) to skip the GCC setup step and just copy from the localhost a pre-compiled GCC package

LigH · 14th March 2019, 11:46

So, would you be able to "fix" the media-autobuild_suite accordingly? I am absolutely sure I can't. And I guess wiiaboo may appreciate contributors. But he might have reasons to prefer native compilation over cross-platform tool chains. I don't know for sure. I only know that I am unable to adapt my custom build scripts on my own, with all my lack of knowledge.

P.S.: I may not even be able to tell apart all the MSYS2 compilation paths reliably.

nevcairiel · 14th March 2019, 17:41

Yeah I exclusively build for C/C++ as well, never needed any other language, so why complicate my life.

But I don't use MABS, since I like actual control over what I build - and know how to actually get that.
