Description

As reported on Discord the libvdpau_nvidia.so is not loaded correctly because not set on LDPATH.

The possible workaround is this:

$> # as root
$> echo 'LDPATH="/opt/nvidia/nvidia-drivers-565.77/lib64/vdpau"' > /etc/env.d/09nvidia-vdpau
$> macaronictl env-update
$> source /etc/profile
$> mpv ...

We need to manage correctly this library from gpu-configurator.

Research direction

Start by locating gpu-configurator's NVIDIA environment configuration and compare it with the /etc/env.d/09nvidia-vdpau workaround described in the issue. Done means libvdpau_nvidia.so is available through LDPATH for the configured NVIDIA driver without manual environment updates, allowing mpv to load it.
