Launching from Google Chrome causes mpv to crash

[aleasto]

mpv: symbol lookup error: mpv: undefined symbol: vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR

Running xdg-open directly from terminal works fine. Launching from firefox works fine. What is chrome doing?

in what version of Fedora ? is this problem https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/HSRJZ4TMBW2F5U2MGOMVWCFBVJ2NURVO/ ?

What is chrome doing?

I also had some issues with Chrome ...

[aleasto]

Fedora 35.

Though some packages were never rebuilt for fc35:

acestream-engine-3.1.49-6.fc34.x86_64
openjpeg-libs-1.5.1-29.fc34.x86_64
python2-setuptools-41.2.0-4.fc34.noarch

I don't know if this used to work in previous fedora versions.

The error also happens in an x11 environment, so i'll update the title.

Sorry, this looks to be caused by rpmfusion build of mpv.
Switching to unitedrpm build downgraded some dependencies but fixed the crash.

[aleasto]

libvulkan.so.1 => /opt/google/chrome/libvulkan.so.1 (0x00007f65435b2000)

Launching from chrome is making it use their libvulkan. No clue why it works with unitedrpm mpv.
In both cases readelf -s shows:

Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
550: 0000000000000000     0 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR

I've never used this program but found out this issue through a Google search.

In my case I'm using https://github.com/SanderRonde/CustomRightClickMenu to open mpv via Google Chrome and I'm getting the same error:

mpv: symbol lookup error: mpv: undefined symbol: vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR

I'm using a Google Chrome package from the AUR which is basically the Debian package that Google maintains (with a few Arch Linux specific patches). The .deb comes with Google's own version of libvulkan.so.1 which does not have vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR (as described in the comment above). I was able to solve this by linking the Google supplied libvulkan.so.1 to the Arch supplied one (provided by vulkan-icd-loader). This solved the issue for me.

Edit: See #3 (comment) for a better solution.

ah or just remove /opt/google/chrome-beta/libvulkan.so.1 , worked for me .

Anyway I don't use wayland

[aleasto]

Yeah i have proposed this supid fix upstream: jonian/acestream-launcher#44
I don't know if you're interested in picking it up for fedora.

I took a look at your PR and it inspired me to create a more maintainable solution for my use case:
I created a wrapper shell script for mpv, which simply unsets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then launches mpv.

I don't use acestream or whatever this repo is for, but have the same issue trying to launch a video in mpv from Gnome Nautilus on Sway, and it seems to be a Wayland/Vulkan issue? I got here from a web search so leaving this in case it helps someone else.

I got inspiration from this thread, thanks!

Error in journal:

 mpv: symbol lookup error: mpv: undefined symbol: vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR

Setting/clearing LD_LIBRARY_PATH= in /usr/share/applications/mpv.desktop fixed the issue for me:

...
Exec=env LD_LIBRARY_PATH= mpv --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui -- %U
