This was already discussed here, as recently as earlier that same day.

Basically, FFmpeg added a new feature, which (I infer) only works on
Windows, and MPlayer hasn't been updated to support autodetecting or
ignoring it properly.

Reportedly, the MPlayer configure options

 --disable-encoder=AAC_MF --disable-encoder=AC3_MF \
 --disable-encoder=MP3_MF --disable-encoder=H264_MF \
 --disable-encoder=HEVC_MF

serve to manually ignore the new feature and compile anyway. I have not
yet tried them myself.
