Description: Arch has dropped support for LIRC in mplayer

Support for remote controls is a key element of a media player and should
not be removed. Since lirc-utils is still listed as dependency this might
have happened unintentional.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
mplayer-28347-1

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S mplayer && mplayer -lircconf

Steps to fix:
Replace "--disable-lirc" with "--enable-lirc" in the PKGBUILD
This task depends upon

Confirmed. Compiling with lirc support does no harm for those without lirc, so this should be enabled.

Confirmed, same problem here.
Comment by Julius (metalfan) - Wednesday, 04 February 2009, 22:00 GMT
Same here, also "lirc" should be added as dependency if enabled.

I have the same problem, voting to have it fixed. it breaks existing setups! at the very least a notice should be added when upgrading/installing.

Yes, this broke my mythtv setup as well. Another vote to have lirc compiled in, or at least a pacman warning telling users it's been removed.

lirc support has been enabled in mplayer-28347-3 in testing. Please test (see http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-February/010332.html) and report any success/failures.
