I have build mpv on yocto, and it's working totataly fine. But when I am trying to use python-mpv i am getting exception. Issue is mostly because of libmpv.so not found. How to get libmpv.so for yocto? P.S: I am using the yocto for Raspberrypi3b+

python-mpv uses ctypes.util.find_library from the python standard lib to look for libmpv. Make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set up correctly, and that libmpv.so is installed in the correct location.

@jaseg libmpv.so is not present in the build image. When i tried to installed it using debian package for arm64,i got lot of other packages dependency issue. Is there any bitbake recipie for libmpv.so available or any other help regarding this?

[jaseg]

Oh, I see. Building it using yocto should be possible, but will take some effort. A quick google search yielded some existing bitbake recipes for mpv (1, 2), that you may be able to base your work off.

@jaseg These are also for building mpv, they haven't included the libmp.so in there build. I think libmpv.so build is not included on the mention link.

Yes, you'll have to modify those to your needs and turn on building libmpv.
