Mpv Appimage doesn't start on Debian - mesa-loader errors cannot find vmwgfx, swrast & co.

This is the first time i have downloaded your appimage'd mpv, however i couldn't get it to start (even with fiddling with ld.so & symlinks.

The error is:

mpv-Media-Player_0.37.0-2-archimage3.4-x86_64.AppImage  
MESA-LOADER: failed to open vmwgfx: /usr/lib/dri/vmwgfx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)

The 'missing' libs are actually in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ instead

Details:

my o.s. is in a virtual machine (on top of virtualbox), running MX-linux - a bookworm debian based version, no 'fancy' stuff added on top of Bookworm, so the problem shouldn't be here (?)
i've been using ungoogled chromium as an appimage for while now - no issues
remember having seen a while ago the same error but for another (appimage??) software
regular mpv (via apt works)

LE:

This is 'funny' , line 13406: calling init: /usr/lib/libglapi.so.0 . This file isn't present on my system (it is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglapi.so.0 instead) but, according the the AppRun debug log , this didn't throw any visible error (?). Tried the 'symlink' dance -> no result.
This seems related

Thanks for looking into this
