mpv error while loading shared libraries: libplacebo.so.29 (SOLVED)

Hi

My mpv stopped working, gives error:

p~ $ mpv
mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libplacebo.so.29: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

p~ $ find /usr/ -name libplacebo.so
/usr/lib/libplacebo.so

p~ $ ls -lah /usr/lib/libplacebo.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 13. Jan 23:04 /usr/lib/libplacebo.so -> libplacebo.so.104

Did a "pacman -Syu" but error is still there.

Used a workarount until problem is fixed:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libplacebo.so.104 /usr/lib/libplacebo.so.29

mpv works again.

That's not a workaround, that's a terrible hack that should never be posted publicly.

What does `type -a mpv` give you? What package version?

Sorry, stupid me. Had mpv-git installed. I removed it, installed normal mpv and removed the symlink above...
Works as expected.
SOLVED.

Rebuilding mpd-git would most likely have done the trick also.
