mpv is blocking building of FFmpeg 4.2

[retokromer]

Error: 1 problem in 1 formula detected
ffmpeg:
  * Non-executables were installed to "/usr/local/opt/ffmpeg/bin"
    The offending files are:
      /usr/local/opt/ffmpeg/bin/python

I believe the failure is the python binding to mpv when it's built/compiled. You could submit a bug report to mpv on GH.

See: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/42827

Not our fault.

If ffmpeg 4.2 is installed, then mpv doesn’t work:

If mpv is reinstalled, then it doesn’t work either, because it wishes the old ffmpeg 4.1.4_1:

Guess I'm a fucking wizard then.

This is homebrew's problem.

This is homebrew's problem.

Which a new release could solve. Please understand that I cannot make an official release of mpv.

@retokromer if you think making ABI bump releases is the upstream mpv project's duty, you're incredibly ignorant of how software packaging works.

@CounterPillow I’m just a Jew.

Excuse me, what?

In the mean time, as a workaround, you are free to use the mpv cask (from "brew cask install mpv"), which pulls from:
https://laboratory.stolendata.net/~djinn/mpv_osx which is referenced by https://mpv.io/installation

The cask doesn't rely on shared libraries, it uses its own internal ones.

Thank you, that’s useful indeed!
