Pray forgive my ignorance, but where do you get ffplay4 from? it
certainly is not part of multimedia/ffmpeg4, there is even
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --disable-ffplay
in the Makefile (but even if you take it out or replace it with
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-ffplay it doesn't get built - at
least for me on -current pkgsrc tree.
