mpv player issue

martix · 2016-05-19 20:22:03

I'm just wondering: Did someone maybe get mpv player working?

After installing it simply via apt-get, it does not start. Error message: "mpv was compiled and linked against a mixture of Libav and FFmpeg versions. This won't work and will most likely crash at some point. Exiting."

I found a bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=753090

Removed mpv, downloaded the package from the jessie repo, used gdebi, but it's still the same.

There is also an other bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=785650

-> referring to libavcodec. Installed version is libavcodec56. Should I try to downgrade to libavcodec53=4:0.7.2-1+b1?
Or better just forget mpv at this point of time?

Please post the output of:

apt-cache policy ffmpeg mpv

Do you have the deb-multimedia repo installed? That causes clashes with libav etc. If so , maybe try installing mpv from that repo.

Well, I don't have deb-multimedia in my resources, and I use mpv exclusively here:

  $ apt-cache policy ffmpeg mpv

I got it with apt-get install from Debian.

@HoaS It seems ffmpeg ist not installed.

Ok, installed ffmpeg from the backports. Now after apt-cache policy I have the same for "installed" as Sector11. It still does not start...

brontosaurusrex · 2016-05-19 21:05:17

I just compile my own

and install youtube-dl directly from page as well.

@Sector11 May I ask: Which version of libavcodec do you have?

Yes, it is installed. It seems that would be mpv 1:0.8.3.

Edit: Tried it, but: "Dependency is not satisfiable: libass5 (>= 1:0.13.2)". It's dependency hell, probably through to some newer software packages in the multimedia repo. Downgrading some packages might be an option, but at this point of time I will just prefer to use a different player.

That's why I no longer use deb-multimedia

Sector11 · 2016-05-19 22:14:26

Why not:

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mpv

comment out deb-multimedia from your sources list and then:

sudo apt-get install mpv

from debian repos?

Just a small warning on the good bronto's advice. If going this way make sure you computer has at least a dual core CPU. Most have these days. I f not, adjust this line:

./rebuild -j2

Change the number 2 for the number of CPU cores you decide to use for mpv.

Quoted for truth

@martix -- I didn't want you to install ffmpeg, I was just wondering about potential conflicts from the deb-multimedia repository.

What have you installed from that repository?

I think you should remove everything you installed from there and try again.

Also, please don't post snippets of error messages -- please post complete, unedited terminal output, preferably including the command that you used so that we can spot any typos.

strange, i thought we already had a thread for how to install mpv on BL, but i can't find it.

anyway, i feel sorry for you guys:

mpv --version

   cplayer:  built on Wed Apr 27 15:26:51 CEST 2016

It's not so hard to build if you want a newer one:

john@bunsen1:~$ mpv --version

ffmpeg library versions:

   libavformat     57.25.100
   libswscale      4.0.100
   libavfilter     6.31.100

Ah...the version currently in Jessie is having trouble at the moment.

$ mpv
mpv was compiled and linked against a mixture of Libav and FFmpeg versions. This won't work and will most likely crash at some point. Exiting.

I thought this fight had been settled within Debian, but it looks like hostilities are heating up again.

^ The problems only happen if deb-multimedia is used, that repository is trouble

I have just installed mpv cleanly from the BunsenLabs live ISO image, the jessie version works fine.

....and for those that haven't noticed, mpv is an "Install" option in the BL Multimedia submenu
