Topic: Error parsing option no-ytdl (option not found) with mpv

When i try to use the "Open file with MPV" option, nothing happens but the following message on my terminal 

Error parsing option no-ytdl (option not found)
Setting commandline option --no-ytdl= failed.

Exiting... (Fatal error)

What should i do?

Operating system, mpv version?

As for MPV, it may be relevant to say that i followed this post when installing it.

this's because you built mpv w/o lua installed
see 'liblua5.2-dev' package

I do have it installed, though.
As for my mpv version, it is mpv 0.29.0-306-g4e9dc60d9e.

I reinstalled MPV and it now works, BUT sadly now i have another error:

MPV will open normally but SVP won't recognize it,  instead, on SVP's terminal, the following appears:

[lavfi] filter 'vapoursynth' not found or failed to allocate
[user_filter_wrapper] Creating filter 'vapoursynth' failed.

check the configure step output - if vapoursynth is enabled

What do you mean by that?

Re: Error parsing option no-ytdl (option not found) with mpv

Hmmm.. are you familiar with a build process? hmm There're always three steps - configure, build and install. Configure step prints which modules/features will be enabled.

I had the same error, señor! I'm on an Arch-based distro, so this may be of limited help to you, but my solution was that I had to install mpv-full (from the AUR -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mpv-full), not the ordinary mpv package, so get SVP to work.
Usually, I recall you want mpv-git instead of the regular mpv package, but recent changes made mpv-git unbuildable against ffmpeg, and mpv-full is safer to use.

¡Buena suerte!
