mpv with any flag (or without them) gives an error: 

mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so here's info from pacman:

Reproduction Steps

have ffmpeg updated to the last major version (7.0 onwards)
have mpv updated to the last possible version

Expected Behavior

expected mpv to work

Actual Behavior

but it doesn't

Log File

not possible to do

Sample Files

No response

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
• I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Rebuild mpv with the new ffmpeg

Rebuild mpv with the new ffmpeg

can you give me the manual at least, cause I install it as binary from my repo's package repository. don't understand the word 'rebuild' in this context.

btw, I already did these steps beforehand:

• uninstalled mpv, ffmpeg
• cleared cache from pacman
• updated system
• installed mpv, ffmpeg

and still getting this error

Check if your mpv and ffmpeg are from the same repo

Looking at the commit list, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mpv/ has been rebuild once after ffmpeg 7.0 update, so this shouldn't happen.

Either way, ask around in Arch support channels since this isn't a mpv bug, but a user configuration or Arch maintainer one.

[CounterPillow]

Then either the Arch maintainer is shipping broken stuff, or you're using an ffmpeg that is not from the official Arch Linux repositories but some sussy AUR thing. It's Arch Linux's job to make sure the mpv binary they ship is actually built against the ffmpeg libraries they ship.

Either way, it's not upstream mpv's problem.

thanks, I'll try to ask around arch package repo support

Did you fix it, cause am having this issue to after updating my system

yeah, I just built mpv from source code. not the best solution, but at least it works
