The MPlayer package currently does not rebuild successfully on TW
because it's not compatible with ffmpeg-5 yet and therefore its build
fails. Due to that, PMBS hasn't rebuilt it with
libBasicUsageEnvironment2 yet.

I made a request to force PMBS to build it with ffmpeg-4 instead of
ffmpeg-5, that should fix the dependency issues:
