Topic: Plex Mac OS error

Hello I have SVP 4 pro currently using in mac with mpv. It works fine with mpv direct launch
But with Plex I get this error " You are using mpv built without vapoursynth support!"
I have did everthing at the suggest link
https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Plex_Media_Player

Re: Plex Mac OS error

you didn't remove/replace libmpv.1.dylib in "Plex Media Player.app"

Re: Plex Mac OS error

Re: Plex Mac OS error

Ok so got that issue fixed seems like I moved that from /usr/local/lib .
Got that PMP to open
Now with it's original dylib PMP plays as it should be with SVP waring "You are using mpv built without vapoursynth support!" , but when I replaced the file from /usr/local/lib . I started getting error during playback "This server is not powerful enough to convert video."
With original dylib it plays fine (obviously no SVP ) but with replaced dylib This server is not powerful enough to convert video. I have WD EX2 ultra NAS . In  playback setting "Direct Stream" is selected.

never seen this before hmm
obviously SVP doesn't interfere with the server in any way
what about "lib replaced but SVP is off"?

Re: Plex Mac OS error

Same error "This server is not powerful enough to convert video."

Re: Plex Mac OS error

dunno, I can't reproduce this

are you sure you're using the latest PMP and mpv versions? there's possible inconsistency between older PMP and latest mpv 0.29.1 and vise versa

turn on verbose logs on both server and PMP, probably they contain some useful hint

Re: Plex Mac OS error

This is in my lib dir
https://i.imgur.com/6bQf2c3.png

Is it supposed to be this way? There is an Alias of libmpv.1.dylib and when right clicked "Show Original" it redirects to libmpv.1.101.0.dylib.
I have coped and tested both files libmpv.1.101.0.dylib and that Alias . Remaned the libmpv.1.101.0.dylib to libmpv.1.dylib in Framework folder but same error

Tested with 2 servers one with WD NAS and another with Windows . On Windows it gives different type of error
I create a video , I hope that helps please check that out.

marked with red color at the top of the manual page

If you get the playback error - An error occurred trying to play <video title> - turn off secure connections in the Plex Server settings:

Re: Plex Mac OS error

I see
> A critical PMP media error occurred: loading failed; the player cannot recover
and then
> Direct Stream failed, but server can transcode. Attempting to fallback to video transcode...

You can also turn on mpv's logging: add "log-file=/some/path/to/log/file" to mpv's .conf file

Re: Plex Mac OS error

Well now I feel stupid
Disabling Secure connection in Network fixed the issue on both servers . :0 , my bad did not noticed that in first plcae

Thanks Chainik for the help
