@misl6 Any thoughts on how to get ffpyplayer unstuck?

@misl6 Any thoughts on how to get ffpyplayer unstuck?

I see you opened a lot (thank you) of PRs on matham/ffpyplayer.

There's any blocking that is not allowing the maintainer to merge them? If not, I can try to reach out matham to push some buttons 😄

Meanwhile: Please disable ffpyplayer for now on kivy/kivy. Is not a mandatory requirement, and it will likely fail right now as uses a different SDL major version.

I guess ffpyplayer will need some love before getting included again here.

[cclauss]

Please disable ffpyplayer for now on kivy/kivy.

Disable where kivy/__init__.py, setup_cfg, other?

[misl6]

Let's disable it (and let's add a comment saying why) only on setup.cfg for now.

[cclauss]

Unfortunately, when I disable ffpyplayer (in both files), it still gets built, causing that CI job to fail.

I probably misunderstand kivy_deps.

Mmm, maybe (sys_platform == "linux" or sys_platform == "darwin") and python_version < "3.14" ?

[cclauss]

If this passes, then I will add a similar test run on the Linux side.

On the pull requests on the ffpyplayer repo, they are not blocking and should be good to go as long as CI passes.

[misl6]

You need the Windows dependencies to be updated, right?

[cclauss]

Python 3.14 (the π version) was released today.
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140/

[misl6]

@cclauss all the kivy_deps.* Windows dependencies now have a Python 3.14 version.
Can you rebase / bump the dependencies minor versions so we can check the status?

[misl6]

I see tests on Windows are not enabled yet, maybe you missed it?

[cclauss]

Thanks for all your guidance on this one! It is ready for review when the CI is ✅ .

ffpyplayer needs help, but I sense that it is not on the critical path for this PR.

Yes, not critical, and needs a discussion as we might think to define a different path for Kivy 3.x.x

[misl6]

LGTM. Thank you!
