Steps to reproduce:

$ sudo pacman -Syyu
get latest version:
smplayer - 16.9.0-1
mpv - 1:0.21.0-1
netcdf - 4.4.1-1 (the 4.4.1-2 is not in the current repo (yet?))

$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/netcdf-4.4.1rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
downgrade to netcdf 4.4.1rc1 then mpv WORKS

$ mpv
works

$ smplayer
not work

$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mpv-1:0.20.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
downgrade to mpv 0.20.0-1

$ smplayer
works

@Levente +1 works with 4.4.1-2
I think this issue is solved now.
@Tri, it should be in extra now if you check

samcv, ziggi, DO NOT hijack tickets. This is about smplayer issues, not about ffmpeg needing rebuilt. There was a dozen other tickets for that.

triplc, sounds like your mirror is slow. The ffmpeg/netcdf issues were fixed before I asked the question, I'm asking if that update fixed your issue?

@Scimmia, I was responding about SMPlayer though. Since this is a bug report about SMPlayer which I use and saw the exact same error that Tri did...
Comment by Tri PLC (triplc) - Saturday, 22 October 2016, 04:17 GMT
after my repo has the latest netcdf/mpv the issue is fixed. thanks all
