Topic: "No active playback" with mpv.

Hi. I can't get mpv to work with svp. I tried this guide https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:mpv
My mpv.conf is:

input-ipc-server=mpvpipe
hwdec=auto-copy
hwdec-codecs=all
hr-seek-framedrop=no
no-resume-playback
input-ipc-server=mpvpipe

My machine specs:
ryzen 1700, 16GB ram, rx 470, windows 10

Mpv was installed via svp tool, PATH and PYTHONPATH variables are set. Svp's event log shows no activity related do mpv, just like it doesn't exist.
I also tried with SMPlayer, same result. Works fine with mpc-hc.
Help pls.

Re: "No active playback" with mpv.

Basically you don't need any mpv.conf other than the default SVP4\mpv64\mpv.conf.
Which file exactly are you modifying?

Re: "No active playback" with mpv.

Oh, I thought that svp's mpv uses the same conf as standard mpv. In that case I changed nothing in mpv64/mpv.conf.

Re: "No active playback" with mpv.

you can override settings from mpv64/mpv.conf from the standard mpv's conf location(s)

run it with --log-file=<some-writeable-path> and search for "ipc" in the log

[   0.019][v][ipc] Starting IPC master
[   0.020][v][ipc] Listening to IPC pipe.
...
[   0.092][v][ipc_0] Client connected

Re: "No active playback" with mpv.

and yes,

Make sure that both, SVP and video player, are NOT running with administrator privileges.

Re: "No active playback" with mpv.

so I removed %appdata%/mpv folder, and in mpv64/mpv.conf I un-commented log-file=mpv.log.
I found part of the log with ipc:

[   0.021][v][ipc] Starting IPC master
[   0.021][i][cplayer] Playing: C:\Users\Mario\Desktop\23923060864-offset-5436.mp4
[   0.021][v][ifo] Opening C:\Users\Mario\Desktop\23923060864-offset-5436.mp4
[   0.021][v][ifo_dvdnav] Opening C:\Users\Mario\Desktop\23923060864-offset-5436.mp4
[   0.022][v][bdmv/bluray] Opening C:\Users\Mario\Desktop\23923060864-offset-5436.mp4
[   0.022][v][ipc] Listening to IPC pipe.
[   0.022][v][file] Opening C:\Users\Mario\Desktop\23923060864-offset-5436.mp4
[   0.022][d][file] Stream opened successfully.

But there is no "Client connected" line. Both svp and mpv run in user privileges.

Re: "No active playback" with mpv.

if you send the report via SVP probably it could reveal something hmm
