Same problem here on Arcolinux kernel 5.11.13-arch

[migueldeoleiros]

It seems to be a problem with outdated lua files on the README, read the issue #66

[bhumit070]

I am using ubuntu 21 and getting this error [mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc] You must disable the built-in OSC with osc=no in your configuration!

[amitsingh-007]

I am using it on Windows 11 and facing the same issue. ocs=no doesn't solve the issue for me.

That worked for me, thanks! =)

Try fixing it with the link above, it worked for me (I'm also on Windows 11).
