Plex-MPV-Shim wont load on fresh install

[Sure4Thing]

Came across this project from a reddit post! Followed the linux install instructions. Installed libmpv1 package as well.

From terminal I type plex-mpv-shim and I get errors

wil@notmicrosoft:~/Applications/mpv-build$ plex-mpv-shim

Any help is appreciated! I am running the latest Zorin OS system.

You are using a bleeding edge version of MPV that isn’t supported by the python-mpv library yet. Try enabling the mpv_ext config option or downgrade to an older MPV.

Yupp! Enabling it was what was needed! It now seems to start no problem!
