Playback broken on Fedora 32

[romainrbr]

Hello,

The playback of any file is currently broken on the latest Fedora.
To reproduce :

git clone https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-electron.git
cd emby-theater-electron
npm install
npm start

The app itself works fine, but trying to play any file ends up with a spinning circle on top of the media's art.
Nothing is logged, appart from the app trying to access the file locally (I've tried creating the file locally, but it doesn't play either) :

emby-theater-electron on  HEAD [!] is 📦 v3.0.12 via ⬢ v12.16.3 via 🐍 v3.8.0 (romain) took 5s 
❯ npm start

> electron main.js

(electron) The default value of app.allowRendererProcessReuse is deprecated, it is currently "false".  It will change to be "true" in Electron 9.  For more information please check https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397

Playing a file still works in branch 3.0.11, but the GUI on top of MPV is having issues (turning black when moving the mouse, etc ..)
I've also noticed that doing the following :

git checkout 3.0.11
npm install
git checkout 3.0.12
npm install

Doesn't fix the issue, but instead of a spinning wheel on top of the media art, we get an empty player GUI :

The same issues happens when building an AppImage (#90) , and running it on any platform.

Some additional information :

I managed to have the app working (and playing video) by grabbing libmpv.so from a debian system, and replacing my /usr/lib64/libmpv.so.1.107.0.
The debian lib is ~25mo as opposed to 2 on Fedora32.

After that, a npm start at least works.

I have exactly the same issue and output with Ubuntu 18.04. No matter if I install the deb or checkout or substitute the libmpv in the directory of the program. I also installed libmpv-dev.

3.0.11 works, but as soon as you mouse over, the screen turns black permanently.

Hi, can you please try downloading the .deb again and see how that compares? Thanks.

Hi, please try our new Emby Theater Linux packages:

Please feel free to re-open if you're still having an issue. Thanks.
