texinfo >= 7.1-1 breaks `ffmpeg-mpp` build

[7Ji]

Since the update of texinfo ~2 weeks ago, the ffmpeg-mpp package could not be built due to some configuration format change, the same applies to ffmpeg regardless of the distro, as long as they got latest texinfo. Arch ffmpeg is not 'affected' because it's not been rebuilt yet.

Debian devs have written a patch for their ffmpeg package which fixes the problem for them: https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/ffmpeg/-/blob/debian/master/debian/patches/0005-Patch-up-t2h-for-texinfo-7.1.patch . This repo however does not maintain the PKGBUILD for ffmpeg-mpp so that could not be applied yet.

@hbiyik would you please check if that patch could be added to your PKGBUILD?

Hi @7ji, Thank you.

[hbiyik]

@7Ji ok thanks for reporting, i think this should go away when documentation is disabled on configure. I will update tonight.

[hbiyik]

both ffmpeg-mpp & ffmpeg4.4-mpp updated, should be fixed now

Nice, ffmpeg-mpp was successfully rebuilt. I'll close the issue after the whole build circle is finished and the package files are uploaded.

Hi @hbiyik,

Installed ffmpeg-mpp successfully but mpv would not stream any video -- just a blue screen but with sound. Error:
