[packman] [opensuse-factory] [Tumbleweed] mpv no longer plays movie files on samba share on Tumbleweed

[Xu Zhao]

According to ffmpeg configure file, to support samba it needs to be compiled with the "--enable-libsmbclient" configuration option. However, by default it is not turned on. I have confirmed this by printing all the config options of my ffmpeg from Packman: 
https://paste.opensuse.org/17569202

Adding "--enable-libsmbclient" option and libsmbclient-devel dependency to the packman build (and the OSS build) should solve this problem.

Best,
Xu
