Crashes on every video now

[RLarkins]

As of yesterday, though most likely the 25th, mps-youtube crashes on any video played. Either before the video starts or just after it finishes, mps-youtube crashes. This has been tested with the most recent version of mpsyt, to the same result.

The error message given is:

Install vlc player instead of mpv player ' set player vlc '

Given the mentions of mpv in both the code and documentation with explicit mention of it being a supported and, in some cases, recommended player, I cannot see the use of another player as a fix. Additionally, I cannot overstate my preference for mpv in this situation, as well as the degree in which it is integrated into the rest of my operating system experience.

Thus I prefer to submit this issue and information in the hopes of it being remedied, rather than the issue being ignored by moving to another player, and risking it also being affected by something similar in the future.

An alternative solution for using arch and downgrading the mpv version while they fix this bug, I tested the mpv-1 version: 0.32.0-6 and it works perfectly and can be downloaded from the arch archive link: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/m/mpv/mpv-1%3A0.32.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst then use the command pacman -U mpv-1_0.32.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. Note to update the system use the commandpacman -Syyu --ignore mpv
