[SOLVED] gnome-mplayer not working

When I start gnome-mplayer with verbose debugging enabled, I get the following error:

ERROR: Unknown option on the command line: -ass

Once I encountered this error, I tried installing libass which did not work.  I then disabled ASS from the subtitles menu.  Once I did that, I then got the following error:

ERROR: Unknown option on the command line: -subfont-text-scale

I believe this error is also related to the subtitle tab (but there is nothing else that I can disable).

I am using the following versions of mplayer and gnomemplayer:
gnome-mplayer (out of community) version=0.9.3
mplayer (out of extra) version=dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.3.2

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

After some poking around, I am assuming that the version of mpalyer found in "extra" was compiled with the following option:

--disable-ass          disable internal SSA/ASS subtitle support

Yep, it is. Check the PKGBUILD.

If you need ASS subs (funny name, awesome format, commonly used in anime fansubbing), recompile with that option using ths ABS and add libraries as necessary going based on errors in gnome-mplayer logs, etc.
