[SOLVED] mpv broken after upgrade - libvmaf.so.1: cannot open shar...

Performed a system upgrade today with "pacman -Syu" , but now mpv no longer works.

[user@host ~]$ mpv
mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libvmaf.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Do you have vmaf installed?  I do, apparently installed as a dependency of ffmpeg.  Seems mpv doesn't declare this as a dependency whereas it perhaps should, althogh since nobody else has reported this perhaps most of us have ffmpeg installed for other reasons.

You had me wondering.  I actually never checked if it was installed, good thinking, but alas, it is installed, but the package doesn't have the a libvmaf.so.1file, just libvmaf.so.0 instead.

[user@host ~]$ pacman -Ss vmaf ; pacman -Ql vmaf |grep libvmaf.so.
community/vmaf 1.5.3-1.1 [installed]

vmaf /usr/lib/libvmaf.so.0
vmaf /usr/lib/libvmaf.so.0.0.0
[user@host ~]$

Ah, right. Looks like the version in testing has the right version in it, but the one in community doesn't.  I don't have mpv installed, but I can say that ffmpeg, mplayer (and vlc) work here with testing enabled.

I upgraded to vmaf-2.3.0-1.0 and now mpv is working well.  Thanks levi and abaumann!
