I remember having a similar issue with kodi. My initial idea was to
BuildRequire: the ffmpeg-4 packages directly, but this turned out to
loose the ability to require special version numbers. This is how the
change currently in kodi.spec:

BuildRequires:  (pkgconfig(libavcodec) >= 58.18.100 with pkgconfig(libavcodec) < 59)
BuildRequires:  (pkgconfig(libavfilter) >= 6.107.100 with pkgconfig(libavfilter) < 8)
BuildRequires:  (pkgconfig(libavformat) >= 58.12.100 with pkgconfig(libavformat) < 59)
BuildRequires:  (pkgconfig(libavutil) >= 56.14.100 with pkgconfig(libavutil) < 57)
BuildRequires:  (pkgconfig(libpostproc) >= 54.7.100 with pkgconfig(libpostproc) < 56)
BuildRequires:  (pkgconfig(libswscale) >= 4.8.100 with pkgconfig(libswscale) < 6)
BuildRequires:  (pkgconfig(libswresample) >= 3.1.100 with pkgconfig(libswresample) < 4)

If you agree, please make a similar change and create a superseeding SR
for MPlayer. I'll then approve it. OK?

TIA, cheers.
