Getting the following exception when mpv was upgraded to 0.38.0 (Manjaro).

Exception in thread Thread-3 (play_async):

A temporary fix on Arch based distros is to look in pacman cache for the older library, for example /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mpv-1:0.37.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. Unpack it and place the library libmpv.so.2.2.0 somewhere in your path. Then edit /usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py line 47:

     sofile = '/home/yourhomedir/.local/libmpv/libmpv.so.2.2.0'

It should work again after that.

I've edited /usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py with the patch provided by Ame-chan-angel and I can confirm that Hypnotix works that way with mpv 0.38. (I'm on ArcolinuxB Gnome.)

@Ame-chan-angel: Thanks for the patch!

Same here, patch fixed my issues on EndeavourOS latest. Thanks @ame-chan-angel

Until the patch by @Ame-chan-angel gets merged upstream, anyone reading will have to edit the /usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py file manually.

just add/remove the provided lines in

https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix/pull/332/commits/37187015ad0ea8966113bdbf10a9dc2d677c3539

and be careful of the indentation

The patch works. Thanks to @Ame-chan-angel
