Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:6 kencu]:
 > Updating mp4v2 to the newer version seemed to make sense at the time I
 committed the PR, but clearly was a very silly thing to do.

 Not at all; updating seems reasonable to me too, and I appreciate the
 effort to keep ports updated. I don't think we could have anticipated that
 it would cause this problem.

 > Nobody else on Earth seems to use that version, and software like cmus
 is not written to support it.

 There are some other distributions using it, I think (see
 https://repology.org/project/libmp4v2/versions), which may lead to other
 software adopting its new features.

 > Should we just revert ourselves back to mp4v2 v2.0.0 like we had been at
 for many years, and then things will be back to the way they were?

 That would fix cmus... but the patch from sandreas that was added to the
 port will be needed to be able to add a port for m4b-tool (also by
 sandreas) which I was interested in doing. Perhaps the patch from sandreas
 can be backported to version 2.0.0. Or we could try downgrading to 4.1.3,
 right before the incompatibility was introduced—presuming that no other
 incompatibilities exist.
