On MacOS Ventura; Error: "Failed to recognize file format" when attempting to play any YouTube video #585

Open PuffyRainbowCloud opened 1 year ago

PuffyRainbowCloud commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug When attempts are made to play a YouTube video on either of my machines running macOS Ventura using MPV I receive the error message "Failed to recognize file format" and nothing plays. I can play the same videos fine using SyncPlay and MPV on Windows 10. This applies to SyncPlay version 1.6.8, 1.6.9, and 1.7 Beta 1.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Launch SyncPlay.
  2. Fill out relevant server- and room information.
  3. Choose MPV as the video player.
  4. Attempt to play a YouTube URL via any of the methods within the UI of MPV or SyncPlay.

Expected behavior The linked YouTube video should start playing.

Version and platform:

Does it work fine if you're running mpv on its own without Syncplay? Do you have the latest version of ytdl installed?

Yes, it plays fine in mpv. It doesnt even reach mpv from syncplay as far as i can tell. Can provide info just let me know, i would really like this fixed

Edit:

I'm having the exact same issue on Windows 10. When I /qa it, it removes it from the queue immediately seemingly without reaching mpv (just the "x has updated the playlist" message pops up).

When I turn off shared playlists, /qa the youtube video and then turn on shared playlists again, it DOES reach mpv but returns "failed to recognize file format" but in this case does NOT remove the entry from the playlist.

I initially thought it was related to ffmpeg, so I installed that and now mpv plays pasted youtube videos fine (lua script to paste) but the playlist issue prevails.

on Windows 10.

it DOES reach mpv but returns "failed to recognize file format"

I think this is a different bug to what i'm experiencing on macOS. Not sure about the original issue creator

Having the same issue with macOS Sonoma. My mpv is able to play from YouTube URLs without Syncplay.

Any update on this?

suhailskhan commented 8 months ago

My workaround is to substitute mpv with IINA, an mpv-based player with many enhancements made specifically for macOS. It works just fine with Syncplay.

Thanks for the workaround @suhailskhan - I've now added it to the FAQ at https://syncplay.pl/guide/trouble/ to benefit others who have the same issue.

Out of curiosity, I looked into the problem a little more and encountered #379.

I captured a debug log using the instructions @albertosottile provided in that issue thread, and interestingly the log appeared to similar to the one presented in the thread. Even though the logs are similar, this earlier issue ended up being resolved in an earlier release of Syncplay. I will leave my log at the end of this comment.

Here is my system and the versions of all the software I tested with:
