again like the other issue, this is a useless log file because you are not logging with the problem you have. you need to reproduce the issue when logging.
this is not a crash, this is just a normal exit because it can't initialise the context.
this is a known limitation of the bundling script and is on my todo.
MoltenVK.dylib is not bundled with the mpv.app build, I don't know what do I have to give as all I am able to reproduce is uninstall homebrew and removing it completely and being unable to run mpv, as there is no moltenvk library neither on the host machine neither in the package, that's why I listed my build directions.
whenever I uninstall homebrew completely, the mpv.app build with dependencies stops working, I then have to install homebrew again and just installing the molten-vk fixes the issue and gpu-next works.
this is a know limitation of the bundling script and is on my todo.
to quote myself. dunno why i have to repeat myself and why i am just being ignored.
@Akczht Maybe my build give you some helps. https://github.com/eko5624/mpv-macos-intel
