Where do i find libmpv.so #201

Closed RoboTomi7 closed 2 years ago

RoboTomi7 commented 2 years ago

i keep getting the error Could not find module 'libmpv.so' when trying to import this module

ive already tried downloading it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/ and it gives me a file called libmpv.dll.a and even with that it dosent work, i realize the file extensions are differnt so out of hope that itll work i changed the ending to .so and to no surprise, same error. ive also tried older versions of mpv and those have not worked either.

edit: using windows 10 os

Given it's looking for a .so file, I assume you're not using Windows?

sorry i didnt specify in my comment, i am using windows 10

For installation on Windows, checkout this issue comment. libmpv.so is for Linux, on Windows you need mpv-1.dll. You have to download that separately from the same place you get your mpv from.
