Maybe you just need to install libass-devel?

--Greg



I do have a libass installed in my current OS: fc20.
It is asking for a higher version, which I presume is only available in
fc22.
I do not want to clobber my existing libass nor libass-devel because
of other dependencies on the existing version.

Then you're rather out of luck unless you want to install a new version
of libass in some scratch location and bugger the mpv build to use that
location. It is difficult to build things with a mix of RPM and non-RPM
items, as RPM and rpmbuild sorta want things in a specific way.
Yes, I understand.
So, which functionality of mpv does libass provide???
I mean if I edit the spec file and remove the configure option
for libass (disable-libass), what feature would stop working?

libass essentially handles subtitle rendering on material that has subtitles:

    # dnf info libass
    ...
Description : Libass is a portable library for SSA/ASS subtitles rendering.

So subtitles won't be rendered if you disable it. Depending on your
needs, this may not be a big thing.
Cool!
99.99% of the time, what I watch has no subtitles.

Cheers,

JD
