Isn't this an upstream alpine packaging issue? Something related to https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/e6ca7ceb8bb15a8ae044f29bccd8bea3415755b3 ?

[curiousercreative]

@kingosticks perhaps? For now, I'm back on the latest image tag rather than latest-alpine and all is working.

[kingosticks]

I think that's wise. The alpine Mopidy package only depends on a couple of gstreamer plugin packages. I've no idea if that's intentional or a mistake.

@curiousercreative did find the issue was resolved outside of Iris?
