Hi Pierre, When i do: /usr/bin/mpv --version
it responds with: mpv 0.23.0 (C) 2000-2016 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects built on UNKNOWN ffmpeg library versions: libavutil 55.34.100 libavcodec 57.64.101 libavformat 57.56.100 libswscale 4.2.100 libavfilter 6.65.100 libswresample 2.3.100 ffmpeg version: 3.2.2-2 I did not install ffmpeg explicitly, but when i installed mpv it picked up a bunch of other packages. (For reference, i did install some other sound packages centered around sox and sndfile, but i'm guessing these are irrelevant.) Everything is via apt-get, nothing home-compiled (yet). /etc/debian_version says '9.0' for me, and i think it is called 'stretch' (it is not in the list of debian versions in the wikipedia, which stops at 8, 'jessie'). I put debian on a fresh partition (i.e., this is not an upgrade) in early February this year to get access to some newer and totally unrelated packages. The mpv website recommends building your own or using a 3rd party builds instead of relying on a package. ("Distributions usually package outdated, unmaintained, and unsupported versions of mpv. This is especially true for popular distros like Debian and Ubuntu. You are recommended to use mpv-build or 3rd party packages instead.") That's all in https://mpv.io/installation/ However, despite using both debian and ubuntu, i've never had to do that yet. knock on wood! :) But if you do install something from mpv.io, and it works better for jessie, please post and tia! dan On Sun, Apr 2, 2017 at 1:02 AM, Pierre Frenkiel <pierre.frenk...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sat, 1 Apr 2017, Dan Hitt wrote: > >> . . . >> If you have no idea what name to use (and i certainly didn't), mpv >> will list them for you, if you run this command: >> mpv --audio-device=help >> . . . > > > hi Dan > what is your mpv version? > For mine, the --audio-device is unknown. > I am on Jessie, with mpv version "0.6.2 (C) 2000-2014 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 > projects" > > best regards, > -- > Pierre Frenkiel >
