Reproduction Steps

Attempt to open an SRT stream with mpv from GUI or command line.

mpv --list-protocols appears to show srt:// protocol support is missing, which is a regression from prior builds I have used (from various recommended sources from mpv.io and the mpvnet-player fork).

Protocols:

 mpv://
 avdevice://
 av://
 memory://
 hex://
 null://
 mf://
 edl://
 file://
 appending://

Expected Behavior

SRT stream should open and play

Actual Behavior

SRT stream does not play, mpv aborts with an error.

Log File

output.txt

Sample Files

Any valid SRT stream. An SRT stream can be trivially produced using MediaMTX with the source published from OBS for example.

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
• I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

libsrt depends on openssl, and mpv developers don't seem to like openssl. And, in fact, it's not possible to build openssl as far as how the current msvc builds work (wrapdb's openssl is seriously outdated and shouldn't be used for serious purposes).
