• [x] ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?

• [x] if brew gist-logs didn't work: ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

What you were trying to do (and why)

install mpv and get a mpv.app

What happened (include command output)

mpv.app is missing since the mpv.rb restoration with ver. 0.30.0

What you expected to happen

in the previous mpv.rb version there was a call to the bundle generator

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

and now it's missing

[fxcoudert]

This is on purpose, most Homebrew formulas do not install .app bundles, but apps that run from command-line. If you want/need the .app, please use the cask.

[chainikdn]

I don't want the cask cause it doesn't support Vapoursynth.

You can maintain a copy in your own tap that builds the app.

Could you please describe to a total noob like me the steps how to do it?
Big thanks for help

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
