You compiled without cdda support.

@CounterPillow With --enable-cdda ?

Yes, though you need to have the necessary dependencies installed for that to succeed.

In regards to the build(s) you are using,
I removed cdda support in march 2017, you're the 1st to complain since then. I guess i could add back next build though won't do builds specifically for that.
Honestly you'd have to search far & wide to find a worse audio cd player than mpv..

@mc4man I use mpv because it's the fastest and one of the best player in my opinion. I use to play any audio/video file type :-)

fanboism would be a poor driver behind software development.
