Failed to load stream on v0.8.0.0

mpv and youtube-dl are installed correctly, but still show this error message box immediately.
I'd tried restart the system but nothing helps.
Try to follow the instruction but there's hardly to find the method about adjusting waiting time in wiki.

Screenshot for the message box :

logfile.txt (surprisingly there's empty in the Documents\Lively Wallpaper\ErrorLogs) :

youtube-dl requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 to run, install it if its not working.

The error is saying that mpv.exe exited immediately without any window appearing, most likely means youtube-dl failed to fetch video information.

Open mpv.exe - try dropping a youtube video link, if it does not work then youtube-dl is failing to start & hence mpv is exiting.

Sorry for the low-resolution gif and I think mpv.exe worked correctly.

are you trying a youtube link? try setting stream quality to Best.

also try opening mpv.exe in Type page as Other app then for arguments give :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojhjBrzmNjo --force-window=yes --loop-file --keep-open --hwdec=yes --ytdl-format bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]

Also to see whats happening with mpv, do the same as above but add -log-file

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojhjBrzmNjo --force-window=yes --loop-file --keep-open --hwdec=yes --ytdl-format bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720] -log-file log.txt

the file log.txt will be saved in mpv folder.

I tried opening mpv.exe as Other app with -log-file argument but nothing happend, so I wondered if there're some issues with the newest version of mpv player.
Then I reinstall the stable version (mpv-0.32.0-x86_64.7z) instead of the new one (mpv-x86_64-20200202) and it works perfectly now.
Thank you!

Something must have changed for the arguments syntax, will update it.
For the time being recommends older version of mpv in wiki.
