Troubleshooting

[E] pw.loop [loop.c:67 pw_loop_new()] 0x7fb768010570: can't make support.system handle: No such file or directory

This happens when mpv, tori's audio backend, doesn't find PipeWire installed in your system.

You can fix this either by installing PipeWire or by setting mpv_ao: <your preferred audio output> in the configuration file. mpv_ao: pulse and mpv_ao: alsa are popular choices. The available outputs can be listed by running mpv --ao=help in the terminal.

Linking error with xcb (ld returned 1 exit status)

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb: No such file or directory         
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-render: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-shape: No such file or directory 
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-xfixes: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status          

If you're running a Debian-based distribution like Ubuntu, you can fix this by running

sudo apt install -y libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev

VersionMismatch

Error: VersionMismatch { linked: 131072, loaded: 65645 }

Your version of mpv is too old. You can fix this by installing a newer version of mpv, like v0.35.1

The visualizer doesn't show up

This may happen for a few reasons:

1. cava is not installed
2. cava is not on your PATH.
3. cava is throwing an error. If tori does not show you the error for some reason, you may be able to see it by running cava in the terminal.

If the visualizer still does not show up after checking the above, please open an issue!.
