Happens when opening a video file with mpv standalone app, 2 mpv icons appears on the dock and the second one just stays on the dock, can't close or force quit. mpv in command line works perfectly fine.

Try mpv 0.28?

[AirPort]

Known problem, already solved in the latest version (0.28.0).

@AirPort @wm4 Thanks, I'm using homebrew and the update isn't on homebrew yet

As the others said, was fixed in 77021cf

Using brew, you can always do brew install mpv --HEAD to compile the latest version yourself.

Using brew, you can always do brew install mpv --HEAD to compile the latest version.

AFAIK you also need HEAD ffmpeg for it to build.

Ah yes, you are right. So it's
brew install ffmpeg --HEAD
brew install mpv --HEAD

You will have to do this yourself, as brew will probably not update mpv until ffmpeg made a new release: Homebrew/homebrew-core#22112
Unfortunately, ffmpeg didn't wait with their latest release until some certain changes made it in, that's why mpv currently depends on a newer ffmpeg version than what you can install with brew/other package managers.

Should this be left open until a proper 0.28 release is cut?

[Akemi]

we have a proper 0.28 release. if at all the problem is that there is no ffmpeg release since months. so no this will stay closed.

[rayshan]

Ahh got it, thx!
