[MPlayer-users] The software knows better than I do

[Mikus Grinbergs]

I like keeping up with things - so I recompile mpv every month or so.
My previous mpv build (mpv 0.26.0-238-g9cb7f87b86) compiled fine and ran
fine. But my current mpv build (mpv 0.27.0-83-ge544c3f7b3) compiled
without CUDA support. When I specified '--keep' to the command and
'--enable-cuda-hwaccel' as an option, the compile (having already spent
time compiling many ffmpeg modules) stopped after its "Checking for ..."
messages, and told me "You manually enabled the feature 'cuda-hwaccel',
but the autodetection check failed."

Given that for more than a year all previous versions of mpv have worked
with the CUDA interface to my system, I *wish* that there was a way for
me to specify "keep compiling", even when the current version's
autodetect thinks I'm asking for the inclusion of useless capability.

Hi,

this list is about MPlayer.

MPlayer is not mpv.

It is very unlikely (and likely off-topic) to get help on mpv
on this mailing list.

Same is true for your other question.

I am sure mpv has its own community support channels advertised
on its web page.

Indeed, and the mpv project certainly doesn't encourage posting here or
even link mplayer-users anywhere. I have no idea why these people post
here. It's definitely off-topic.
