FYI Udo,

The version of pkg in Hipster does not support the GUI package manager which has been removed.

I experienced SMPlayer crashing several months ago with a log message that includes: ld.so.1: mplayer: fatal: libx264.so.138: open failed: No such file or directory

Totem works so had switched to using it. library/video/x264 was updated in January 2014 from 0.138 to 0.140

I have discovered that ffmpeg and mplayer were also repackaged on Jan. 30, 2014, but can't seem to get the latest version. I changed sfe-encumbered from non-sticky to sticky and search before sfe but still can't get latest ffmpeg.

I tried this with mplayer and get another dependency error.

It looks like ffmpeg and mplayer were both built with 0.151.1.9. Hipster has the same version of the required libs, but from the 0.151.1.8 branch.
