Any fellow mpv users that have experienced mpv losing features and then outright not working lately?
<__monty__>
First fullscreening stopped working properly and now it won't start at all anymore.
<__monty__>
Feeling like a very second-class citizen tbh.

__monty__: I think it might be upstream, 0.31.0 works fine
<__monty__>
LnL: I doubt it. It's because nixpkgs doesn't build mpv with libmpv support on darwin.
<__monty__>
The cocoa backend has been deprecated for a long time and mpv has changed enough for it to matter now.

I looked into fixing this but swift hasn't been packaged for macOS and I ran out of steam because swift devs didn't care enough to help and I don't care enough about swift to really learn the ins and outs of the swift compiler's build system tbh.
<__monty__>
So it went straight into the backlog of things I'll look into again in the future but reluctantly.
<LnL>
yeah the swift expression isn't very nice IIRC

It has lots of quirks and no documentation of why they exist.

I've considered admitting defeat and simply adding a swift-bin expression.
<LnL>
do you remember what you got stuck on?
<__monty__>
I didn't get stuck. Just tired of running the build, finding what's the matter, fixing up the dep and repeating ad nauseam.

Hmm, upgrading to Catalina... mostly working, but `darwin-rebuild switch` complains that /nix is a symlink; however, NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE=1 is definitely set.
<eraserhd>
Is it possibly cleared by nix-shell or anything?
<eraserhd>
Not sure what caused it, but I had to put `environment.variables.NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE = "1";` in my macbook's config.
<LnL>
as for issues you probably won't notice it if you don't build much locally

i build enough locally that i noticed breakage via symlink, even with the right configs. i haven't tried recently though, the disk image seems good enough for now.
<eraserhd>
aha, I am apparently using the daemon. I never figured out why I would or wouldn't want thatj.
<eraserhd>
So, it's not really possible, post-Catalina, to run nix-darwin without NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE, so should it be set globally? And in nix-darwin itself?
<eraserhd>
Actually, I guess it is not possible to use nix without it even, so that's the right place?
