Anyone else that cant get SVP to work anymore on arch?
Runing garuda (latest updates ofc) and i keep getting the same error again and again, no matter what I try. The error is: Playback [babedd7c]: VS - Failed to initialize VapourSynth VSScript library: Python executable and library path couldn't be determined despite automatic configuration. Run `vapoursynth config` to set it for this Python installation and then try again.
Ofc runing "vapoursynth config" in terminal gives me a Configuration successfully written message but the same error is still there and no interpolation in mpv. I spend more then 3h at this point with chatgpt trying everything that it and me could think of but to na avail. Also, everything was still working fine a few weeks back.Anyone else with the same or simmilar problem?
The behavior is highly unstable—at times, even consecutive runs within the same session will either work or fail unpredictably.
I’m using CachyOS with an RX 7900 XTX.
A couple of days ago, I tried running SVP4 with mpv, but it didn’t work.
It crashed with: `error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: VapourSynthPluginInit (fatal)`.
I initially thought the issue was that VapourSynth since version 76 uses `VapourSynthPluginInit2`, while the SVP library still only calls the older `VapourSynthPluginInit`. I was wrong about that.
Yesterday, I experimented with mlrt+migx (installed the `vapoursynth-plugin-mlrt-migx-runtime-git` package and related dependencies), and suddenly SVP started working.
You can debug mpv like this:
LD_DEBUG=libs mpv filename.mkv 2>&1 | grep -i vapour
Despite a bunch of `undefined symbol` errors, the chain of imports and calls somehow managed to resolve correctly.
P.S. mlrt+migx also works with a custom VapourSynth filter, albeit with a couple of drawbacks:
- On first launch, migx takes several minutes to recompile RIFE models into its own `.mxr` format.
- It tries to save the compiled models to a weird location where it initially didn’t have write permissions: `/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/vapoursynth/plugins/models/rife/`.
