After Upgrading to MPV -1:0.37.0-1, MPV Not Will Stream/Play Video

[JFLim1]

Hi,

After the latest system upgrade where MPV is upgraded to MPV -1:0.37.0-1 from ALARM Repo, MPV no longer stream Youtube or play local videos.

[jfl@opi5plus ~]$ mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PIji8OubXU
mpv: symbol lookup error: mpv: undefined symbol: av_packet_side_data_get, version LIBAVCODEC_60

[jfl@opi5plus ~]$ mpv /media/Elements/GT_KING_PRO/videos/Big Buck Bunny 60fps 4K - Official Blender Foundation Short Film [aqz-KE-bpKQ].mp4
mpv: symbol lookup error: mpv: undefined symbol: av_packet_side_data_get, version LIBAVCODEC_60

[jfl@opi5plus ~]$ pacman -Qs ffmpeg
local/ffmpeg-mpp 2:6.0-10
    Complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video supporting
    rockchip MPP hardware decoder

Not sure whether it is a conflict with "ffmpeg-mpp". Also notice "MPV" is no longer available on your 7Ji/archrepo.

@7Ji i can fix this problem from ffmpeg, the reason we need to create a seperate build of mpv is, ffmpeg fork has unintentionally broken the exported api, so the external builds of mpv can not find the right definitions when system uses a different api.

I will push a fix in the ffmpeg repo, and may be afterwards you can also remove the custom mpv in your repo.

also noticed that ffmoeg needs to be bumped to 6.1 as well.

Also notice "MPV" is no longer available on your 7Ji/archrepo.

The latest mpv needs newer libplacebo which does not exist yet in the ALARM repo, I've just added it to my repo's build list but we'll need to wait a while before that comes online and mpv could be built against the latest libplacebo.

@hbiyik

Thank you for your kind work!

may be afterwards you can also remove the custom mpv in your repo.

Yeah that should really be done sooner or later... As you can see tracking Arch directly ahead of ALARM is yet another source of breakage.

The latest mpv needs newer libplacebo which does not exist yet in the ALARM repo,

Hi @7Ji, Not sure I understand you correctly.

When mpv-1:0.36.0-1 was upgraded to mpv-1:0.37.0-1 from ALARM the "libplacebo-6.338.1-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz" was installed.

Edit: Thank you @hbiyik and @7Ji for your great works and support.

Happy New Year.

For the time being, I have reinstalled mpv-0.36.0-1 and libplacebo-5.264.1-4

[jfl@opi5plus ~]$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libplacebo-5.264.1-4-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz /home/jfl/Downloads/mpv-1.0.36.0-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.zst

Packages (2) libplacebo-5.264.1-4  mpv-1:0.36.0-1

Will upgrade to mpv-1:0.37.0-1 when a new "ffmpeg-mpp" is available. Thank you.

[7Ji]

They updated libplacebo just now, not in the past few days when mpv was broken, but right before I added libplacebo to my build list....

@7Ji

done, ffmpeg-mpp and ffmpeg4.4-mpp needs to be rebuild. mpv should be removed from the 7ji Repo this will not work anymore, instead the one in the Alarm repo must be used.

Side note: after the recent change of mpp-git from systemd to dbus, i got an error that dbus-units dependency could not be found, i assume this is some archlinux temporary issue.

[7Ji]

ffmpeg{,-4.4}-mpp both built a couple hours ago and uploaded

mpv and libplacebo removed from the build list.

Hi @7Ji,

The ffmpeg-mpp is still named "ffmpeg-mpp-2.6.0-10" which is the same version I have installed a while ago.
https://github.com/7Ji/archrepo/releases/download/aarch64/ffmpeg-mpp-2.6.0-10-aarch64.pkg.tar.zst -- Uploaded 7 hours ago. Is this the new ffmpeg-mpp package.

sudo pacman -Syu

Did not trigger update/upgrade "ffmpeg-mpp". Do I have to reinstall "ffmpeg-mpp"? Thanks.

[7Ji]

Not yet, the fix to ffmpeg PKGBUILD was pushed by hbiyik 6 hours ago.

[7Ji]

The ffmpeg-mpp PKGBUILD seems to be broken after the bump:

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.libera.chat.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

I'm fixing it.

Now 6.1-1 was properly built and updated
