mpv @0.38.0: crash upon dropping URL

[mrkapqa]

Hello ,

i am posting this here since it did function in the past, so not sure what is wrong on the computer.

considering it a defect, enhancement request.

have installed mpv via macports (version 0,37 or 0,38)

The following versions of mpv are currently installed:
 1) mpv @0.37.0_2+audiocd+bluray+bundle+dvd+libarchive+network+opengl+osd+python312+rubberband
 2) mpv @0.38.0_0+audiocd+bluray+bundle+dvd+libarchive+network+opengl+osd+python312+rubberband (active)
Enter a number to select an option

alongside mpv via homebrew (which seems the active version in terminal)

mpv --version
mpv 0.38.0 Copyright © 2000-2024 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects
 built on Apr 17 2024 23:58:10
libplacebo version: v6.338.2
FFmpeg version: 7.0
FFmpeg library versions:
   libavutil       59.8.100
   libavcodec      61.3.100

   libswscale      8.1.100
   libavfilter     10.1.100
   libswresample   5.1.100

now since i have activated one of the 2 installed macports version, say version 0.38, i find the mpv app in "application" "macports" and i click on "mpv"

the mpv windows says "drop files or URLs to play here" however if i would drop an URL from youtube, the mpv would crash; this happens with 0.37 or 0.38, and for completeness, would also happen with another version downloaded from say www.mpv.io.

maybe this is an error from Mpv in recent version, if yes, sorry if posted it in the wrong forum.

Please attach the crash log that macOS should have recorded in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports.

Having Homebrew and MacPorts installed at the same time often leads to problems so we don't support that. We recommend uninstalling one of them.

thank you, i am hoping to have them both installed; just provoked a mpv crash as above, but it seems the ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports does not fill up, there is only a "mpv-bundle-2024-06-23-113901.ips" file among several "SiriSearchFeedback-2024-06-xxxxx.diag" files is this mpv-bundle.ips the file you need?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes, the ips file is the crash log.

[mrkapqa]

the only thing i noticd with this file is it would not change even after provoking the crash at least that what the timestamp on the .ips ("date modified at 11.39") suggests; the crash was provoked afterwards, and file seem to have stayed unchanged.

I get the feeling that macOS might not save a new crash log if a crash log was already recorded for that program recently.

Anyway, the log says the crash was in this thread:

Not sure what to make of that. Most of those are Apple-supplied libraries and frameworks so either macOS has a bug or mpv is calling one of them with wrong parameters that lead to the crash.

You'll probably want to ​report the problem to the developers of mpv. We just compile and distribute mpv; we didn't write its code.
