Topic: Mac OS - mpv.app - Can only start mpv through svp - no mpv.app

Hi Friends,

i just made the update from mpv 0.29.1_3 to 0.30
I´m just wondering why there is no mpv.app in usr/cellar
Please have a look at the attached screenshot..

On the left side you see the new version 0.30 without the mpv.app in usr/cellar
on the right side you see the backup with the old version 0.29
I like to use the mpv.app directly. What am i doing wrong?
Big thanks for help.

I believe this question should go to the Homebrew devs hmm

The previous version of mpv.rb formulae contains this command:

system "python3", "TOOLS/osxbundle.py", "build/mpv"
    prefix.install "build/mpv.app"

and now it's missing

Big thanks for clarification Chainik,

until there is hopefully a final solution, i have gone back to previous mpv build.

Chainik,

on your given github link for opened issues,.. someone wrote under comments:
"You can maintain a copy in your own tap that builds the app."

Don´t know what that means..
Maybe you have a clue..

Ok,
from github homebrew, someone gave us the hint how to get the app...:

Just add

    system "python3", "TOOLS/osxbundle.py", "build/mpv"
    prefix.install "build/mpv.app"

after system "python3", "waf", "install"

in install file located /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/mpv.rb.

Then reinstall with building from source:
brew reinstall -s mpv

And here is your app, ready to go on the system:
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/mpv/0.30.0/mpv.app /Applications
