Topic: Plex Media Player crash due to mpv-1.dll file

Hello,

I recently tried setting up SVP integration with the Plex Media Player.
I have done this numerous times through the following guide: https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Plex_Media_Player
This has worked in the past on my Windows machine, however I have now stumbled onto a curious issue.

Plex logs indicate the following causing the crash everytime I try to open a file on the plex media player windows program:
[ ERROR ] PlayerComponent.cpp @ 599 - ffmpeg: tls: failed to open CA file '/home/chainik/mpv/mpv-winbuild-cmake/build64/install/mingw/etc/ssl/cert.pem': No such file or directory
[ ERROR ] PlayerComponent.cpp @ 599 - stream: Failed to open

Leading me to believe the hardcoded file is inside the mpv-1.dll I copied over, as per guide instruction.
Which it is. I don't believe the source code is available, but even when searching inside the mpv-1.dll file, I found 512 matches to the developers local user directory, '/home/chainik'

Is this supposed to be in there by default, as the lack of certificate is causing MPV to fail when attempting to load the HTTPS links from Inside the PMP.


Thanks for any assistance.

You can try the "official" build (though it made using the same build scripts).
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-pl … es/libmpv/

IF the crash caused by wrong/missing/etc HTTPS certificates, you can always turn off HTTPS in Plex sever settings. But as the corresponding mpv.exe has no issues playing HTTPS streams (from Youtube, for example) I don't think this's the case hmm

Thanks, I just ended up bypassing HTTPS for now, it's on a local network anyway.
