Topic: Frame Server Not Found, but only if I launch MPV outside of SVP
Hello, first of all, thank you so much for responding to every post. While I was searching for solutions, I felt bad every time a developer responded but never got a counter-response. Now for the issue.
When I open SVP and use "open file via MPV", everything works smoothly.

If I click on my media file, which uses "a version" of MPV, then SVP can't find the frame server:

13:35:31.797 [i]: Playback [be1611b4]: deletedHere is my MPV config file. I've confirmed that removing my personal stuff does not effect my issue:
#SVP-Required Settings
input-ipc-server=mpvpipe
hwdec=auto-copy
hwdec-codecs=all
vo=gpu-next
target-colorspace-hint=auto
hr-seek-framedrop=no
no-resume-playback
#Personal settings below
#removes outer border
--no-border
# 10 and 100 are arbitrary, remove conditions that don't fit your needs
[autoloop]
profile-cond=shuffle or (duration < 120 and playlist_count == 1)
profile-restore=copy-equal
loop-playlist=infJust to be clear, when I go back to SVP and "open file via MPV", I still get the working version that can find the frame server.
Now, I do have two versions of MPV on my computer. One is a portable version that I keep inside my media folder, and the other is included with SVP. I "believe" I have already pointed windows to always use SVP's version of MPV since it will use my config file anyway. But I like to think I'm not dumb enough to mess up multiple times - Open With > Choose Program > check "always use this program" > navigate to SVP4/mpv64\mpv.exe.
Do you have any suggestions? Thank you again.
