There is a new version of MPV available for Ubuntu 22.10, if one uses the default sudo apt-get install mpv you get version 0.34.1, so to get 0.35.0 you apparently have to compile it with waf and install it... which I eventually managed to do, via the following method of sorts.
Using the waf method shown in the README.md file I had to install a bunch of extra packages just to get ./waf configure to run through so I could compile it, albeit with a flag of --disable-gl
The packages I had to install were: GCC, cmake, pkg-config, ffmpeg, ffmpeg-dev, libass-dev, libavcodec-dev, libavfilter-dev, libavfilter-extra8, libavutil-dev
Then I did ./waf followed by a final install step I had to do with root via sudo su for ./waf install
Unfortunately, I am still trying to get it to run right because it keeps sending me to Ubuntu software to install codecs to run my files. Upon installing sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras in a misguided attempt to get all codecs I have broken my PC in that clicking on any media file now logs me out. :(
I found a partial fix with this problem I have and can now open media files again.I tried sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-restricted-extras the codecs... but had to install Synaptic to completely remove it.
I got the system partially fixed, but MPV still doesn't play video's very well, any suggestions appreciated to get it working right. opengl doesn't seem to be working and I don't have an option for va-api
