(The FFmpeg libraries are statically linked in libmpv when using mpv-build.)
#Plex on mac os x install#
In particular, it does not install or use FFmpeg libraries. With this, libmpv should have been installed to /usr/local/.

rebuild -j4 (this steps checks out all sources and compiles them and takes a while) you can also add echo -disable-cplayer > mpv_options to prevent mpv CLI from being built.First you need to install some build prerequisites:

#Plex on mac os x how to#
Here are instructions how to build them locally. It's recommended to build a current version, or to get them from 3rd party sources (some are listed on ). While most distros have FFmpeg and mpv packages, they're often outdated. (Untested whether this works reliably.) Building mpv and ffmpeg On Windows and OSX, you can omit the -DQTROOT argument to use the Qt built by Plex. Otherwise, download a supported Qt version from qt.io. If your distro provides a Qt 5.9.5 package, try to use it. Systems not based on Debian/Ubuntu will have similar packages, but you'll need to figure out their names yourself.

cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output.Install mpv and other dependencies with homebrew:.If you're happy just building from the command line then run CMake for the ninja build tool:
