Termux-packages: Unable to run mpv (stack corruption detected on Galaxy S7)

[ceebu]

I installed mpv but am unable to run it - I get "stack corruption detected" - Am on Galaxy s7 edge and not rooted. Not sure if this makes any difference, but I have setup the storage as well..

Does it happen when just running mpv, or do you need to play a file?

If it happens only when playing a file, could you see if it happens with multiple files (different formats)?

[ceebu]

It happens when I just run the mpv command. Ideally it should return a message with the command options, but get stack corruption.

I have tried reinstalling Termux, Factory resetting my phone (!!), manually deleting files to try clearing cache or old files... still get the same error.

[ceebu]

Is there any logging / troubleshooting that I can do to better understand why this error?

I can get it to play audio and ascii video on a Samsung Galaxy S7 by running the executable directly:

 /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/mpv -vo=tct yuyuko.mp4

This skips the setup of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I do however run with my own value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which is /data/data/com.termux/files/home/local/lib:/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib . The first of these is an empty directory for now, and the last is shared with the path in the wrapper, so I guess there's something in /system/lib64:/system/vendor/lib64 that breaks things.

Thanks amaurea! I was able to play using the direct file link as well. thanks for finding the cause and the workaround.. at least now, I can use mpsyt :-) :-)

Thanks @amaurea ! your solution helped me too :+1:

@ceebu @amaurea @pranavg189 Does updating to the latest 0.24.0-1 version of mpv with apt update && apt upgrade fix the issue?

[amaurea]

@fornwall Yes, it fixes it. Thanks. (Any way of getting non-ascii video, by the way? E.g. directly on the phone where the sound ends up anyway)

[fornwall]

@amaurea Great, thanks! It's not currently possible, you have to use an external player for that now - but it may be in the future!
