smplayer: cannot play video with mpv as backend on Arch #3596

bbhtt · 2020-08-20T05:27:14Z

Bug and expected behavior

Open a video in SMPlayer with mpv as backend, /us/local/bin/mpv fails to launch, video does not play.

What did you expect to happen?

The process to run and to video to play.

No profile or disabling firejail

What changed calling firejail --noprofile PROGRAM in a shell?

Runs

What changed calling the program by path=without firejail (check whereis PROGRAM, firejail --list, stat $programpath)?

Runs.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run smplayer,mpv with the profile that comes with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firejail-git
Options>Preferences>Multimedia Engine>Choose MPV
Wait for Smplayer to reset.
Close smplayer (essential) and run again for the path to mpv to change ,this time it will be Others /usr/local/bin/mpv provided it also has a symlink.
Run a video
See error: https://imgur.com/cWmgN0O (https://gist.github.com/kortewegdevries/b35bf974526f3ae9b6bffd53c3b638c0)

Environment

Linux distribution and version (ie output of lsb_release -a)

lsb_release -a

LSB Version:	1.4
Distributor ID:	Arch
Description:	Arch Linux
Release:	rolling
Codename:	n/a

Firejail version (output of firejail --version) exclusive or used git commit (git rev-parse HEAD)

# pacman -Q|grep "firejail"

firejail-git r6331.d3b58663-1

smplayer 20.6.0-1
mpv 1:0.32.0-4
mplayer 38157-3

What other programs interact with the affected program for the functionality?

mpv,smplayer,mplayer

Observations:

Ubuntu firejail 0.9.62.4-2 with smplayer 20.6/mpv not affected, only on Arch I think.
private-bin line causing the error in step 6.
firejail --build and strace -e execve, readlink,access produces: pacmd,dbus-send,xset etc. adding them to private-bin along with shell doesn't help. If you are running strace feed smplayer a video on terminal to reduce verbosity a bit.
mplayer as a backend works fine with no changes to profiles.
The error is not about mpv or its profile: copy the command line arguments smplayer feeds to mpv with a few changes, run under firejail a video, works!

/usr/local/bin/mpv --no-config --no-quiet --terminal --no-msg-color --input-ipc-server=/tmp/smplayer-mpv-34 --msg-level=ffmpeg/demuxer=error --no-fs --hwdec=no --sub-auto=fuzzy --no-input-default-bindings --input-x11-keyboard=no --no-input-cursor --cursor-autohide=no --no-keepaspect --wid=75497517 --monitorpixelaspect=1 --osd-level=1 --osd-scale=1 --sub-ass --embeddedfonts --ass-line-spacing=0 --sub-scale=1 --sub-text-shadow-color=#ff000000 --sub-codepage=ISO-8859-1 --sub-pos=100 --volume=0 --cache=auto --screenshot-template=cap_%F_%p_%02n --screenshot-format=jpg --softvol=yes --softvol-max=110 --term-playing-msg=MPV_VERSION=${=mpv-version:}

The softvol and the last flag needs to be removed, then feed it a video.

Changing to upstream profiles doesn't work.

Can you try the lua stuff.

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T07:52:22Z

Can you try the lua stuff?

I already tried that, see my first edit on OP, the lua error was inconsistent, sometimes smplayer + mpv said liblua wasn't found, sometimes it didn't... I'll try again.

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T08:19:31Z

Didn't work added allow-lua.inc, whitelist /usr/share/lua,whitelist /usr/share/lua*,whitelist /usr/share/vulkan to smplayer. It's weird.

rusty-snake · 2020-08-25T08:31:56Z

Have you tried /usr/share/vulkan?

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T08:36:42Z

Have you tried /usr/share/vulkan?

Where?

rusty-snake · 2020-08-25T08:48:15Z

In smplayer.local/profile.

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T08:50:03Z

Yes I tried all three lua+vulkan. I don't use locals.

rusty-snake · 2020-08-25T09:09:29Z

Works firejail --profile=smplayer mpv --no-config --…?

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T09:13:59Z

You mean use smplayer profile to run mpv? Yeah after including include allow-lua.inc, whitelist /usr/share/lua, whitelist /usr/share/lua*to smplayer.profile

rusty-snake · 2020-08-25T09:42:12Z

You mean use smplayer profile to run mpv?

Yes, I want to know if the smplayer-profile breaks mpv (with the smplayer args) or if it is the interaction between smplayer and mpv.

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T09:52:40Z

Ohh okay, the last command line argument has to be dropped and the softvol ones second last I think:

Doesn't work, mpv itself doesn't show above warnings when launched with its profile. So something in the args I think.

Can you try to find the problematic line.

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T10:09:29Z

Doesn't work with the full smplayer.profile commented:

 firejail --profile=smplayer mpv --no-config --no-quiet --terminal --no-msg-color --input-ipc-server=/tmp/smplayer-mpv-34 --msg-level=ffmpeg/demuxer=error --no-fs --hwdec=no --sub-auto=fuzzy --no-input-default-bindings --input-x11-keyboard=no --no-input-cursor --cursor-autohide=no --no-keepaspect --wid=75497517 --monitorpixelaspect=1 --osd-level=1 --osd-scale=1 --sub-ass --embeddedfonts --ass-line-spacing=0 --sub-scale=1 --sub-text-shadow-color=#ff000000 --sub-codepage=ISO-8859-1 --sub-pos=100 --volume=0 --cache=auto --screenshot-template=cap_%F_%p_%02n --screenshot-format=jpg /home/korte/Downloads/sample-mp4-file.mp4

Even noprofile fails,weird, mpv works on its own though, under firejail without the args.

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T10:14:53Z

So when I made Obsevation 5, it was working that way, now it doesn't, the only changes in this period were updating the kernel/system and installing multilib mesa,vulkan etc., the latter could be related to the change in observation now.

rusty-snake · 2020-08-25T10:23:46Z

#3596 (comment) this command works for me (other video path). I'm out of ideas.

bbhtt · 2020-08-25T10:29:59Z

The faulty arg for the case in #3596 (comment) was --wid=75497517 removing that and using the uncommented smplayer.profile under firejail, works for me. Even if I ignore that for the moment since it worked previously, and the softvol+last one, there's something to be added in private-bin of smplayer+lua in smplayer to make it work with mpv as backend on Arch.
