mpv @0.31.0: error: property 'path' not found on object of type 'id'

[mrkapqa]

Hello ,

on a older MP1.1/2.1 the newer mpv .31 failed to build.

the standard variant as the x11 variant.

please see attached log, maybe this can be fixed.

thank you very much.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Please run sudo port selfupdate to update to MacPorts 2.6.3 and then try again, since mpv has already been updated to 0.32.0. No guarantee that will fix the problem though.

<hello,

thank you, now the mpv would build.

however, there would be no playback.

rebuilding with the following

would stall video at 00:00

I find mplayer much more usable on older systems than mpv.

On my G5 I can play at least 720p videos no problem from youtube.

Using smtube makes it all much much easier too btw.

To me it looks like your config files can’t be read... maybe use --no-config arg or move your mpv config folder to somewhere else and try playing again, see what come up.

[mrkapqa]

Thank you,

tried to move .mpv inside .config folder, but the error persists.

remember that the one/s that offer those build here

​https://laboratory.stolendata.net/~djinn/mpv_osx/

wrote that those builds don't function on the macpro1.1/2.1 because of missing cpu/extensions that those build require.

the macports build had functioned previously, infact it should be still functional on another partition running lion or snowleopard.

«kencu i also use linux on powerpc but the mplayer on debian 7 is quite outdated; still trying to get a functional build of mpv up and running. had one at a time, but things have changed, again. with macports, mplayer on tiger/leopard is usable, but the playback is somewhat delayed; maybe you could show me how to pass some proper setting?

[i0ntempest]

Why would you need --opengl-backend=X11? And what does /Users/rich/.config/mpv/scripts/youtube-quality.conf do? Did you try with both of these removed?

[mrkapqa]

yes, both removed.

​https://github.com/jgreco/mpv-youtube-quality

the opengl-backend thing i used on older snow leopard and since this time it did not function correctly, i tried with it aswell; maybe this messed the configuration up?

[i0ntempest]

You seem to have put the .conf file in the wrong place, it should be in script-opts folder from what I read. If nothing here helps we'll need help from the main maintainer Ionic.

[mrkapqa]

Thank you, i have installed the OS anew, now the problem is solved.

it must have been related to the .conf file; --opengl-backend=X11 or other option probably. glad to see that the old MacPro is still running well.

[i0ntempest]

Well I didn't know mpv looks for THAT dir for config. Anyways glad you got it solved, this can now be closed.
