mpv won't launch with latest grepo libvpx

[davidgarland]

bash-5.2$ mpv
mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

this happens even after doing kiss b libvpx followed by kiss b mpv to make sure both are up-to-date and built against each other.

Unsure who to complain to about this or what the best course of action is:

• Should the people maintaining grepo be asked to add a symlink libvpx.so.7 -> libvpx.so.8? Is that safe to do, in general?
• Should the people maintaining mpv be bugged about supporting libvpx.so.8?
• Is there anything that could be done in the mpv package here?

yeah i'm not exactly sure whats happening either, since rebuilding directly from git source, mpv links to libvpx.so.7, the only thing to do is to make a manual workaround aka symlink

You might have to rebuild ffmpeg aswell, the error likely stems from it since it's a transitive dependency. Though I did bump ffmpeg in grepo aswell

fixes mpv, does not fix firefox

teapot$ firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
libvpx.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

i will wait for @ehawkvu to bump firefox to 110 instead.

does everything work on your end now @apprehensions?

if so this can be closed I think, as both firefox and mpv work for me following git-bruh's tip

[apprehensions]

yeah
