Hi,

for some reason the mpv player is broken on X11 and does not play movies. Enabling support for X11 solves the problem.

$ mpv movie.mkv

(+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 2ch 48000Hz)

Are you sure your Guix & mpv installation are up to date?

See

 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59508 (patch)
 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59279

and specifically

 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59378#2 and linked
 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59339

which mentions your exact error message as being fixed back in 
November.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Hi Tobias,

I checked the patch is applied.

I use the following setup SDDM running under wayland and GNOME on wayland - here it works ok. 

However, I have a second environment where I spend half the time and it runs i3. Here the `mpv` gives me an error.

Hi Tobias,

you were right. There's no need for this patch as the mpv installed in my home profile was causing the trouble. 

I've found out when comparing the paths to the mpv.

This ticket can be closed now.
