[solved] Is lz4 needed to run mpv?

I'm talking about https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42839
I don't know if

$ ldd /usr/bin/mpv | grep lz4
        liblz4.so.1 => /usr/lib/liblz4.so.1 (0xb4134000)

means it does.
I'm using a 32-bit Arch.

ldd isn't the right way to check, use objdump or readelf. ldd is recursive, so the lz4 link you're seeing could be many levels beyond mpv.

Re: [solved] Is lz4 needed to run mpv?

I see.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42842 says

figured out the problem: mpv links to libsystemd, which links to lz4

so I guess it's solved.

Edit:

$ readelf -a /usr/bin/mpv | grep lz4
$ readelf -a /usr/lib/libsystemd.so | grep lz4
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [liblz4.so.1]
