[SOLVED] mpv isn't working after update

Hi everyone,

mpv is having some trouble after I update my system.

Here is what I get as a message when I try a video, it plays nothing but sound.

[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
Video: no video
Video: no video

Arf, I'm really sorry for this, I do that on a regular basis but this time I didn't think about it

Thanks for reminding a basic and unavoidable thing to do when you play with Arch !

Are you subscribed to the arch-announce mailing list? When I installed Arch Linux I feel like the suggestion was prominently displayed in some place like the Beginner's Guide... It's not there now, but I did find it under general recommendations.
