Topic: SVP pipe broken with latest version of mpv "vf-del: doesn't exist"

I'm getting an error message when SVP stops working properly with the latest versions of mpv and Plex. This doesn't happen on the first video played. It happens after the first video is stopped or finished. The once the pipe/socket is disconnected it doesn't seem to get reconnected to any other video until I exit Plex and start again. The error message says  "Option vf-del : 0 Doesn't exist" because they the "-del" option has been deprecated in the latest version.

The changelog says:
= adjusted for recent mpv (pre-0.37) changes

Does that include making sure that deprecated options have been accounted for?

Thanks. I would never have guess that SVP would be the cause of this. For future reference, where in SVP does it use/remove mpv filters?

Sorry to bother you but as I asked for above, where would I look in future within SVP code for something like this? Where were/are the mpv filters used?

don't you know that SVP works via vapoursynth filter? hmm

I'm pretty good at getting things working without know too much about them then I eventually learn more as I go along. I am still learning about all of this stuff. I know nothing about vapoursynth except that it is similar to avisynth and that has it's own library of ffmpeg based filters?. So since mpv uses filters based on ffmpeg I assume that vapoursynth is using the same filters?

I checked out base.avs but saw nothing there.
