mpv dylib libraries not found on MacOS #147

Closed olivierfriard closed 3 years ago

olivierfriard commented 3 years ago

Hi, I plan to replace VLC by MPV in my behavioral observation software (www.boris.unito.it). I made a proof of concept with pyqt5 that is working very well on Linux and Windows. The responsiveness of mpv is amazing! But on MacOS the python-mpv is not able to find the mpv dylib files. libmpv.dylib is no more present in the macOS builds of MPV (https://mpv.io/installation/) How can I organize my project to make the mpv libraries findable? Thank you

I am not a mac user, but a quick search suggests that this project here is providing some pre-built mpv libraries for macOS:

https://github.com/iina/iina

See this and this.

Another option would be to build libmpv from source using homebrew. Judging from their formula, they're still building libmpv by default.

I'm closing this issue because it seems it is resolved.
