Plex is not compatible with mpv 0.37 from Homebrew - I suspect because Plex wants OpenGL rendering and Homebrew's 0.37 is Vulkan-only for some reason.

Downgrading to mpv 0.36 works:

brew uninstall mpv
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/1b673702d246947fd3753f5800d85daf9d5c94f5/Formula/m/mpv.rb
brew install mpv.rb
brew pin mpv

That makes sense! Thank you - I'll do this right away smile

I'm struggling to get SVP to work with the latest version of Plex (v.1.84.1.4069-ff740b6d) on my new M3 MacBook Pro. Plex opens then closes a second or two later. I followed the instructions and ran the following commands in terminal:
rm -f /Applications/Plex.app/Contents/Frameworks/libmpv.2.dylib
ln -s /opt/homebrew/lib/libmpv.2.dylib /Applications/Plex.app/Contents/Frameworks/libmpv.2.dylib

I also tried copying and pasting the libmpv.2.dylib from /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mpv/0.37.0_1/lib/libmpv.2.dylib to the /Applications/Plex.app/Contents/Frameworks/ directory, but to no avail.

One thing I did notice (might be not important) is the original libmpv.2.dylib file in the Plex Frameworks directory is 13.3 MB versus the replacement is 3.8 MB.  I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot/debug this, so any advice on how to do so would be much appreciated. I had SVP working with Plex on previous (Intel) MacBook Pro, so I'm a bit stumped.

Hello,

Hopefully, I'm posting this to the right section but I just updated SVP 4 Mac to 4.6.0.263, and it still says there's an updated version of SVP to download. I've downloaded directly from my account and by using the "Get updated package..." button. Please see the screenshot below:

Is there a newer version I should install?

Hey Maken

Hope you are well.

I replaced my computer and wanted to re setup my svp and pot player.

Where has the guide gone?


I think Maken has been busy with stuff IRL and is in the process of updating it. In the meantime, if you'd like to see what the guide was before: https://web.archive.org/web/20201112030 … php?id=284

really have no idea... not possible? big_smile

Sorry for the late response - I've been extremely busy these last several days. As far as I know, it's impossible to downgrade to a specific version of a macOS major release unless you have a Time Machine backup (or something similar like CCC, etc.). Reinstalling macOS via Internet Recovery will install the latest version of the major release you select or the specific version of macOS the computer came with. There aren't any other options as far as I know which unfortunately makes it impossible to downgrade to 10.15.6 without a backup/restore point.

I have another question for you though - in my mpv.conf file, if I were to change hwdec=auto-copy to hwdec=videotoolbox-copy, would SVP 4 Mac still work (Sorry if it's a stupid question - I know what hwdec is, etc.)? I know hwdec=auto-copy is recommended in the Mac Video Player Wikis but I wanted to know if hwdec=videotoolbox-copy would work as well?

It's very unlikely they do this intentionally. And it still works in 11.3...
So all I can suggest now is downgrade to 10.15.6 or upgrade to 11.x or just wait for a fix.

Wait... is it possible to downgrade to 10.15.6 without a time machine backup? Otherwise, I'll wait for a fix since Big Sur isn't compatible with certain applications I need for work/classes. Thanks again for all of the help smile

Thanks for the link! So Apple's update broke it. Is there (or will there be) a workaround "fix" for this? Apple's been edging towards completely depreciating it for over a year now, and unfortunately, I think it's extremely likely they won't fix this issue (or if they do, it will take several weeks/months) since it isn't most likely isn't a priority for them. It really irritates me they didn't even mention these changes in the update notes, etc.

if Mac build is on par with Windows one than it should now work too (since ver. 1.26 /December 22, 2020)
it used to ignore external mpv.conf before 1.26, this is the only reason for "not supported"
and now it should probably read mpv.conf from ~/Library/Application Support/Plex/mpv.conf


Hello Chainik,

Sorry to bother you again, but I just encountered another issue with SVP on Mac. My Mac automatically updated to 10.15.7, and now whenever I open a video in SVP, I receive the following notification repeatedly: "Error initializing OpenCL Subsystem. Please re-install graphics drivers." I tried to re-install SVP, etc. but nothing has worked so far. I was on 10.15.6 before the auto-update occurred. I was wondering if you had any advice/suggestions on how to fix this issue? I'm not sure if it's a common problem on this OS version, or related to Apple depreciating support for OpenCL in favor of Metal. It was working alright prior to the update sad I would really appreciate your help. My Mac has an i7-8850H CPU, Intel UHD Graphics 630 (integrated), and an AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (dedicated). I don't believe there is a way for me to install graphics drivers on Mac. I think they are usually installed during OS updates.

Thank you so much!

I can only see 3 options:
- switch to Plex for Mac (not PMP) - the best choice you have big_smile
- ask via Github to make a new release: https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player - they made fixes for mpv 0.33 months ago but still not released the updated binaries.
- install mpv 0.32:

# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/5ba081a042737a11d948371a0a6915ef668480f9/Formula/mpv.rb --output mpv.rb
# brew install ./mpv.rb

the good news they still have 0.32 bottles on the server, so it won't build from sources...


Thank you so much for the quick response. Does Plex for Mac work with SVP? I've thought it was not supported (based on the SVP Plex Wiki page)?

Thanks again smile

Hello, I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I could really use some help. I have been trying to use SVP with Plex Media Player (Not Plex) on macOS Catalina (10.15.7). I noticed on the SVP Wiki Page - https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Plex_Media_Player, it states to use PMP 2.58.0 with an mpv version earlier than 0.33. I've been having an extremely hard time installing an earlier version with the changes to homebrew over the last several months. I have tried everything I can think of, but I can't get homebrew to install an earlier version like 0.32.0 or 0.31.0, etc. The "Reinstall mpv in Homebrew" feature under Utilities in the menu installs an mpv version newer than 0.33. Could someone please help me figure this out? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi all, i hope you all are ok, right ? anyway i dont like to bother others peoples into personal drama, i mean i think is not good mix personal problems with other things ( Guide ) that have nothing to do but this time is necessary as the real excuse of what is happening, maybe the answer for the ones who wonder the hell is happening with me, with this Thread..Guide (out of date, unattended, empty, bla bla). Sometimes happen stuffs in your life or could happen that are beyond your hands, just happen and like it or not you have to deal with it.. thing is where im living.. very bad times that sadly affect us all, all of us including myself (family too). So long story and many stuffs i cant say / share too personal, thing is i lost my old pc, it got damaged, not money to repair it / get new one. But well thanks to some great peoples ( thank you all guys really ) PC is back on track its not actual Gen, still stuck on 4th Gen Intel CPU but at least its way better than my very old +5 year PC i was using all this time while making this guide.

That being said for the moment.. here my new plans for this Guide:

1- Basic settings for start, just all the necessary to make run the player to start using your SVP Free/Pro. Anything about SVP it self it goes to SVP Support / Team. Any question about SVP you should ask to SVP Team. I just want for now focus on the player with all i know.

2- Fill in time a section i call Extra with stuffs about: 4K, High Quality, NVidia tweaks / GPU settings, LCD 1080p Monitors (HDMI), PC tweaks, MadVR, Sound, Sound Card and finally SVP settings.

That is what im thinking but we will see in time, first i need to focus in get my pc back on track, see what it can do now, it potential, limits, etc. Then just left testing.

Well folks thats all for now, any comment, question or donations are welcome can be post here or give me your email.  See ya \m/

Mak

Thank you so much for your hard work, Maken! This is/was my favorite guide and player for Windows smile Can't wait to see your updated guide when it's ready!

Sorry for the delay!

I have attached the active.log file to this post. I reinstalled Python 2.7.14 and 3.6.5 before I reinstalled SVPTube 2 just now and I'm still having the same issue. The log file includes after I reinstalled Python.

Below are the last few entries in Event Viewer starting with the Python 3.6.5 installation. They all showed up under the "Information" level (not Critical etc.).

Hi,

I just installed SVP 4 Pro for Windows on my Windows 10 Pro desktop computer. I had initially selected for SVP to install all components/extensions and right after I finished the installation and entered the license information, I found myself unable to open SVP 4 Pro Manager. I tried restarting, etc. but nothing seemed to work. I decided to start removing components/extensions via "Maintain SVP 4 Pro Installation." After removing them one by one, I was able to isolate the problem to SVPTube 2. After I removed SVPTube 2, I was able to successfully launch and run SVP 4 Pro with all of it's other components/extensions. Does anyone know how to get SVPTube 2 to install and run correctly? I have attached screenshots of the components/extensions I have installed currently.

Thank you!
