Re: Problem to setup and use on Plex for Windows 1.107.1.293

I'm facing the same issue—`mpv-2.dll` is missing, replaced by `libmpv-2.dll`. Renaming `mpv-1.dll` from SVP to `libmpv-2.dll` didn’t work.

Until a fix is released, I've set:

[debug]
disableUpdater=true

in the `Plex.ini` file located at `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\plex.ini`.

Additionally, I reinstalled the previous version of Plex—`Plex-1.106.0.276-fe8d1d20-x86_64.exe`—from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\cache\updates\1.106.0.276-fe8d1d20\packages\Plex-1.106.0.276-fe8d1d20-x86_64.exe`.

Lastly, I replaced `mpv-2.dll` as normal from:
- `C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\mpv64\mpv-1.dll` 
  to 
- `C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex\mpv-2.dll`.

EDIT: Sorry, meant to post this as a new message in the main forum, I just always have the RIFE thread open.

So my Windows Plex client updated today and now I can't get SVP to work with it.  In the past you just replaced the mpv-2.dll in the Plex directory with mpv-1.dll from the mpv64 directory (renaming it to mpv-2.dll).  But with the newest update, Plex is now using libmpv-2.dll and when I replaced it with the dll from the mpv64 directory playback no longer starts, I just get a spinning icon onscreen.  Any insight on how to get it working again?

Thanks

so that's just the mpv2 dll in the plex folder?

absolutely no idea what this means
probably the log is more helpful: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Plex\Logs\Plex.log

Re: Problem to setup and use on Plex for Windows 1.107.1.293

ok, I see...
it won't work with the official mpv build w/o a ffmpeg patch sad

still it WILL work if you add this line into c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file:

192.168.1.197   192-168-1-197.d84af735c30140af8b6455f5b208f1a7.plex.direct

Re: Problem to setup and use on Plex for Windows 1.107.1.293

Thx, it works, will it work after Plex autoupdate or just stay on it till someone will figure out how to patch newer versions of plex?

Re: Problem to setup and use on Plex for Windows 1.107.1.293

> will it work after Plex autoupdate

yes it will (with the "official" libmpv-2.dll)

Re: Problem to setup and use on Plex for Windows 1.107.1.293

please remove entry from hosts and try this: [removed, update via SVP updater]
must work now w/o hosts modifications

thx, works great

Re: Problem to setup and use on Plex for Windows 1.107.1.293

Working great! Thanks! I've made a simple batch file that copies over the DLL I run whenever Plex updates. Make it in Notepad and change the extension to .bat. Then run as administrator.

@echo off
set "source=C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\mpv64\libmpv-2.dll"
set "destination=C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex\libmpv-2.dll"

echo Copying file...
xcopy /Y "%source%" "%destination%"

echo File copied successfully!

Re: Problem to setup and use on Plex for Windows 1.107.1.293

in fact, since you have mpv64 folder in PATH, you can just delete the original libmpv-2.dll file
