I should have a PR in the next day or so. Works on 10.7 -- now I just 
have to build mpv on 10.6, 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10, and see what happens :>


I think there's one more tweak needed in the videotoolbox section of the 
Portfile...

Yes. Instructions for trying patches before they've been committed are in our 
guide:

https://guide.macports.org/#development.patches.applying


As for when it will be committed to our repository, that depends on the 
maintainer of the port (to whom the ticket is assigned). Ken just added the 
patch to the ticket recently and the maintainer has not yet responded. If the 
maintainer does not respond within the customary 72 hour period, then Ken or 
any other committer can commit the change to the repository.

Could that patch be used with the standard "port install mpv" in some mannner?

Re: Mpv doesn't install

There is a "quite simple" Portfile patch that makes mpv work on the older 
systems here .

mpv has an active macos version, and the objective-c and SDK requirements 
advance fairly quickly.

but the fallback x11 version works OK, if you can live with it.

making the newer objective-c compatible with older SDKs is a bigger project -- 
I just don't have it in me.

Building against a newer SDK and deploying on older systems to get the macOS 
version is a better bet -- I don't know how much support is written into mpv 
for that with my quick look. Anyway, macports doesn't have much support for 
that yet, although who knows what the future may hold in that regard?

Best,

Ken

mpv is failing to build on the 10.10 buildbot as well:

Check the main.log — does your issue match any of the 8 open trac tickets?
