[MPlayer-users] new build error using latest upstream ffmpeg

[Arthur Marsh]

libavcodec/qsvdec_other.c:27:26: fatal error: mfx/mfxvideo.h: No such
file or directory
#include <mfx/mfxvideo.h>
^
compilation terminated.


Is it possible for the ./configure script to mplayer to simply disable
qsv and mfx related code so that mplayer can be built against latest
upstream ffmpeg?

Regards,

Arthur.

I believe in "brute force" corrections to unforeseen errors. I noticed
that in the 'mplayer/configure' script (around lines 1603-1604) there
were filter-out tokens for all the format_QSV varieties *except* for
VP8. So I tried adding a VP8_QSV token into each of those two lines --
and that allowed my mplayer compile to complete.

Fixed, thanks.
