MPV does not work on X11 on Debian
(address . bug-guix@gnu.org)

Hi. MPV stopped working on my Debian bullseye since the upgrade to
version 0.35. I have locally fixed the problem by adding libxpresent
input to mpv recipe.

Regards

Mpv also won't play video on Guix System

I can confirm that on Guix System mpv also fails after the upgrade to 0.35

Mpv won't play videos but it can play audio in the terminal. When trying to
play videos it will give the following error:

"[vo/gpu] VT_GETMODE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[vo/gpu/opengl] Failed to set up VT switcher. Terminal switching will be
unavailable.
amdgpu_device_initialize: amdgpu_query_info(ACCEL_WORKING) failed (-13)
amdgpu: amdgpu_device_initialize failed.
[vo/gpu] Failed to commit ModeSetting atomic request (-13)
[vo/gpu/opengl] Failed to set CRTC for connector 66: Permission denied
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (--vo) device.
Video: no video

Exiting... (Errors when loading file)"

This also sometimes causes the desktop environment to crash and go to the
login screen.

A quick google search indicates that this seems to happen because mpv now
needs libxpresent to work with x11 (just like Jorge P. de Morais said above
):

Mpv Issue no.
10327
Arch Linux package mpv-git
Mpv Issue no. 9773

I would submit a patch to fix this if I was better at guile. Is someone out
there up to the task?

Cheers
Markus

Yes, that seems to be the case. Thanks for the report!

Hi,

I recently encountered the same error with mpv 0.35 on X11, and can confirm that the patch in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59378fixes the playback error.

Cheers,
Kaelyn
