rebuild error -- libplacebo/context.h: No such file or directory

I'm having trouble trying to build mpv. I am attempting to build on Raspbian (Bullseye).

Linux travelflix 5.15.61-v8+ #1579 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 26 11:16:44 BST 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"

I keep receiving the following error during the rebuild step:

Waf: Leaving directory '/home/mike/mpv-build/mpv/build'
Build failed
 -> task in 'mpv' failed with exit status 1 (run with -v to display more information)

I also attempted to build using meson too, but I receive a different error when attempting that:

INSTALL	ffplay
INSTALL	ffprobe
make: Leaving directory '/home/mike/mpv-build/ffmpeg_build'
Using mpv options: --enable-libmpv-shared --disable-cplayer

meson: error: unrecognized arguments: --enable-libmpv-shared --disable-cplayer

Any ideas on how I can fix this so I can build mpv?

I have exactly the same issues on a rpi4, also Bullseye

This was just an upstream change in libplacebo that required a change in mpv to build. It was fixed in this commit: mpv-player/mpv@70fa950.
