Bug description and reproduction

Videos stopped working as intended after migrating db from Windows to macOS — now Hydrus shows thumbnails and says "open webm externally"/"open mp4 externally" and such popups appear:

v566, 2024-03-28 10:24:57: MPV is not available!
v566, 2024-03-28 10:30:45: The macOS App does not come with MPV support on its own, but if your system has the dev library, libmpv1, it will try to import it. It seems your system does not have this, or it failed to import. The specific error follows:

OSError: Cannot find libmpv in the usual places. Depending on your distro, you may try installing an mpv-devel or mpv-libs package. If you have libmpv around but this script can't find it, consult the documentation for ctypes.util.find_library which this script uses to look up the library filename.

Before migration videos worked correctly. Migration was done by copying .db files and 'client_files' folder directly in the default database location. Clear reinstalls, loading up new empty db and updating/reinstalling mpv haven't resolved the issue

On macOS you need to install mpv yourself for hydrus to use it. But also mpv on macOS is currently broken. You should configure your media settings to show the open externally buttons for now.

Interesting. Checked the preferences: In Media viewer filetype handling video and animation was set to 'show with mpv', even though it showed the open externally buttons and 'show with mpv' should not be available as an option for mac (and there's no such option in dropdown). I changed it to 'show with native hydrus viewer' and it resolved the issue, now video and animation works as intended. Seems like the setting was imported when migrating from Windows
