Hi!

Here is the options I use:

hwdec=vdpau-copy
vo=gpu
profile=gpu-hq
gpu-api=vulkan
gpu-context=x11vk

firejail mpv "my_video.mp4" output:

[vo/gpu/vulkan/libplacebo] Failed creating instance: VK_ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT
[vo/gpu/vulkan/libplacebo] Failed initializing vulkan instance
[vo/gpu] Failed initializing any suitable GPU context!
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (--vo) device.

mpv "my_video.mp4" runs fine.

Notes:

Removing the options makes mpv run fine within firejail too.
Using openGL instead of vulkan does not work either, mpv runs indefinitly.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Vulkan gpu API works with @rusty-snake fix.
Still stuck without vulkan: see my other comment

Thanks @rusty-snake;

So that solves the vulkan run. However, when using these options:

hwdec=vdpau-copy
vo=gpu
profile=gpu-hq

mpv runs indefinitly without video nor sound. I tried to strace without firejail to find the accessed files and did some adjustements but no luck so far.

Alright, another quick research and test and I have to ignore seccomp, then mpv launches.

Thanks!

mesa, amd, seccomp? #3219, #3267.

Try seccomp !kcmp
