Hi there,

fyi, mpv shows this error at start on macOS (using the default mpv_osx.conf in this repo):

mpv.log

Hi! interesting error. can you tell me which mpv version it is? i can see if i can replicate that issue then on a macOS vm.

Sure, I installed via HomeBrew, the version is 0.37.0 :

mpv

i soon have a macbook to test it on baremetal. can you try running the same config except commenting line 108 109 110? if that also doesnt work, does 0.38.0 work? https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/m/mpv.rb found a formula for brew which seems to have it.

finally got the macbook to test things on. i can reproduce the issue on 0.37.0, but 0.38.0 seems to have fixed the issue on my end. EDIT: i do have to note that there is no apparent error in logs, so im pretty sure everything worked out. it performed as well as i thought it should based on the hardware.
