Hypnotix fail to start (libmpv problem)

[matthgyver]

Hi,

Since last update on Arch linux, Hypnotix fail to start with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/hypnotix/hypnotix.py", line 25, in <module>
    import mpv
File "/usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py", line 531, in <module>

    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))

What's the output of

ldconfig -p | grep libmpv

mpv_detach_destroy is deprecated, you can try

replace mpv_detach_destroy with mpv_destroy in /usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py

Hi,

ldconfig -p | grep libmpv
libmpv.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libmpv.so.2
libmpv.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libmpv.so

It's work with your suggestion.
Thanks

Mint has no libmpv.so.2

libmpv.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpv.so.1

replace mpv_detach_destroy with mpv_destroy in /usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py

Yes, hypnotix stopped working a pair of days ago on arch. Your suggestion did the trick.

Thank you very much

Does anyone know how to fix this Hypnotix issue for Ubuntu 22.10? I tried replacing mpv_detach_destroy with mpv_destroy in /usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py, however, that failed to resolve the problem.

replace mpv_detach_destroy with mpv_destroy in /usr/lib/hypnotix/mpv.py

I can confirm this also fixes the issue on NixOS and jaseg/python-mpv@2b3249a did the same thing. A quick look at https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/v0.34.1/libmpv/client.h#L502 and https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/v0.34.1/player/client.c#L557 what mpv_detach_destroy in mpv 0.34.1 does is simply calling mpv_destroy, so I guess it should be okay for mint to fix this now?

Does anyone know how to fix this Hypnotix issue for Ubuntu 22.10?

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libmpv&searchon=names says ubuntu 22.10 does not have libmpv2 yet, I guess what you encountered is not related to this issue?

Thanks @Mennaruuk! Works here!

This fixed it for me on Debian Sid !
Thanks !!!

help required: Hypnotix stop working after installing Linux mint 21.11
this are the results in the terminal
niso@niso-HP-ProDesk-600-G2-SFF:$ GDK_BACKEND=x11 hypnotix
niso@niso-HP-ProDesk-600-G2-SFF:$ Loading providers...
XTREAM Niso Loading Channels

(hypnotix.py:9325): Gdk-ERROR **: 00:56:53.917: The program 'hypnotix.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 1610 error_code 1 request_code 0 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I installed Hypnotix today on Debian Trixie using the file hypnotix_4.3_all.deb from Mint repositories, and also the file "python3-imdbpy_2021.04.18-3_all.deb" from the old Debian repositories (I wonder why it doesn't exist in the current Debian repositories?)
However, after fixing the "mpv_detach_destroy" issue as above, I now get this terminal output:

System version of yt-dlp selected.

  File "/usr/lib/hypnotix/hypnotix.py", line 27, in <module>

I hope someone can suggest a fix for this also as easy as the one above. ;-)
