mplayer & ffmpeg

Two bugs here:

ldd /usr/bin/mplayer  | grep  not
        libtinfo.so.6 => not found

I fear there is a ncurses messup somewhere with libinfo.

The other is playing FLACs:

Playing 10.Motion_Picture_Soundtrack.flac.
Audio only file format detected.
Load subtitles in ./

This looks to me like an internal ffmpeg library problem.

Re: mplayer & ffmpeg

At least the ncurses problem I found the trouble:

mplayer is 37998-1

But i have a machine with ncurses 6.0+20170902-2 (testing) and a machine with
ncurses 6.0+20170902-1 (core/stable).

shell# pacman -Q | grep ncurs

ncurses 6.0+20170902-2

shell# pacman -Ql ncurses | grep tinfo

ncurses /usr/lib/libtinfo.so
ncurses /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6
ncurses /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6.0
ncurses /usr/lib/pkgconfig/tinfo.pc
ncurses /usr/share/man/man3/_nc_free_tinfo.3x.gz

and on the machine where mplayer is not working:

shell# pacman -Q | grep ncurs

ncurses 6.0+20170902-1

shell# pacman -Ql ncurses | grep tinfo

ncurses /usr/share/man/man3/_nc_free_tinfo.3x.gz

So I think 6.0+20170902-2 should be released to the wild. :-)

$ why-dont-you stabilize ncurses | grep -vF '(not tested yet)'
The following packages are dependent on "ncurses", but cannot be stabilized:

I would wait for gdm and colleagues to be finished and then stabilize all of the (very long list of) packages "not tested yet".
