Hi! Another contributor handled the Nix package, which looks like it's out of date (0.5.0).

The most recent tplay release (0.6.1) aimed to be compatible with Ubuntu 24.

I don't have time right now to look into this but if you can try to install tplay 0.6.1 you might have better chances, OpenCV 4.10 issues permitting :)

@colemickens Sorry for the ping. Could you have a look at this issue? And if possible provide a fix. Thanks ❤ in advance for the investigation and fix. 🙂

1. This should probably be filed on nixpkgs, not here.
2. I don't know what's wrong. It doesn't build when I specifically build against ffmpeg_6:

I opened a draft PR so someone else can maybe help: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/420683

This should really be closed.

1. This project doesn't pass tests right now. Nix or otherwise, the tests weren't run before the latest push/release.

2. This is also reported upstream already: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/408027

Hopefully this will merge soon and be fixed for unstable: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/420683

I will not backport this, so, ymmv on a stable branch.

thanks Cole for looking into this, I'll check that main is stable now and republish as needed
