I've been periodically fighting with mpv and ffmpeg for various reasons |
11 |
for quite some time. Which is why I've been pushed into running live |
12 |
versions of both. Version bumps on ebuilds that fail version checks |
13 |
(like this one) is my first line of defence. |
14 |
|
15 |
The reason live rebuilds keep breaking even though they're installed it |
16 |
the upstream developers change to library requirements and flags without |
17 |
telling anyone. |

There's a bug report about this at https://bugs.gentoo.org/635650 which |
20 |
seems to offer several solutions and satisfies none... It looks like |
21 |
the decision at present is "wait and hope it gets fixed upstream" |
