Installing libmpv without GUI #234

Closed bennetrr closed 1 year ago

bennetrr commented 1 year ago

I want to use this library on my headless Raspberry Pi, which has no GUI (also I want to test the code on WSL).

When I install one of the following packages 

apt install mpv libmpv-dev libmpv1

I get a huge list of packages:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

APT wants to install graphic drivers and a XServer in my WSL.

Is there a way to install libmpv without a desktop environment?

jaseg commented 1 year ago

This is because of the way your distro has compiled libmpv for its libmpv1 package. We can't do anything about that from python-mpv, since we just use the libmpv.so that you provide. Still, here's three options that I can think of on what you could try:

  1. You install the distro package with all its dependencies. They won't do anything bad if you don't use them. In WSL you can have all of that stuff installed with no harm done, GUI functions just won't work.
  2. You can build your own libmpv from source where you can disable all those GUI features.
  3. If you're using libmpv for transcoding only and you're not using it for video or audio output, you may be served better by directly using ffmpeg (which mpv ultimately wraps).
