The problem is that MPlayers sources don't compile after the recent
major bump of FFmpeg. Thus building of MPlayer with FFmpeg git master
fails.

To avoid build failure you can either compile against latest FFmpeg 7.1
release or against a ffmpeg master version before the bump which
happened IIRC last week on Friday.

Sorry for the inconvenience :(

Best regards,
