Sound and video on cards will not function until mpv or mplayer is installed!

Current version: Version ⁨24.04.1 (ccd9ca1a)⁩
Python 3.9.18 Qt 5.14.2 PyQt 5.14.1

I keep running into this problem unless I reset my Anki app. I have another tried other version, 24.04.1, as well. Both populate this message intermittently. Is there a work around to this? Below is an image demonstrating the issue.

Anki uses a program called mpv (and mplayer as a fallback) in order to support sounds and videos. Media - Anki Manual

mpv is included with Anki on Windows/macOS so this shouldn’t be an issue.

Does disabling add-ons temporarily make a difference? Troubleshooting - Anki Manual

I tried this and it still doesnt work, is there a specific version I shoul be loading?

If audio works for a while and then stops working until a restart, it sounds like mpv may be hanging. If you haven’t already, please try the Qt6 build.
