Details

Description:
mpv has support for shared-library plugins ("cplugins") since ~6 months ago, but this is disabled unless opted-into at ./configure.
It would be nice if the package would pass configure the --enable-cplugins flag to enable C plugin support.

Additional info:
mpv 1:0.25.0-5
mpv loads C plugins from the same directories as its lua scripts, and from a security perspective the .so vs lua distinction isn't important, as both have the same level of privilege and run inside the mpv process.
The support isn't a complex and shouldn't add much to binary size. For users without any C plugins there should be no change in mpv behavior. The directory is scanned regardless because it's already used for lua plugins, so there shouldn't even be more disk reads.

Thanks!
This task depends upon
