[PRQ#54087] Deletion Request for mplayer2-build-git
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mplayer2-build-git [2]: Not useful to keep this dead mplayer fork that has been discontinued since 2013. There is no indication that anyone would want to use it. If there were, we would see complaints: it cannot be executed on most Arch Linux systems due to building against a source-included header for which the corresponding library is not declared in depends array. Even if said missing dependency is satisfied, this mplayer variant fails to play any video with any choosable output sink - at least when one uses ether an NVIDIA GPU or an Intel iGPU. (Haven't tested this with AMD hw/driver.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mplayer2-build-git/

Hi

I asked you before what was the use case for the package and you replied me it has no use case, apart being broken. If there's some reason to revive the package, feel free to upload it after you fix it. However I'm not convinced what is this for. -- Muflone

Am I missing something here @sl1pkn07? Have you or anyone else demonstrated that this decade-old bitrotted, abandoned application can actually play video? Because so far I've only seen evidence to the contrary while testing it myself.
