Installing Mux with Sanity v2 - compatibility issues

I can see you're struggling with installing the Mux plugin for Sanity v2. This is actually a known issue because Sanity v2 is now deprecated, and the plugin ecosystem has moved on to support Sanity Studio v3.

The good news is that there's still a working version for v2, but you need to install it specifically. Here's what you need to do:

For Sanity Studio v2

Install the Studio v2 version explicitly using the @studio-v2 tag:

yarn add sanity-plugin-mux-input@studio-v2

or with npm:

npm install sanity-plugin-mux-input@studio-v2

The Studio v2 README has specific instructions for the v2 version.

Common Installation Issues

If you're still having trouble, here are some things to check:

1. Package name confusion: The package is called sanity-plugin-mux-input, not @sanity/mux-input (which was the old deprecated name)

2. Mux API credentials: Make sure you have your Mux Access Token and Secret Key ready. You'll need to generate these from your Mux dashboard with permissions for both read/write video and read data.

3. Schema configuration: After installing, you need to add it to your schema. For v2, this looks like:

{
  title: 'Video',
  name: 'video',
  type: 'mux.video'
}

4. Signing key issues: One common problem is an incorrect signing key in your Mux configuration. If your uploads are failing, double-check that your Mux Access Token has the correct permissions and that you're using the right signing key.

Consider Upgrading to Studio v3

Since you're having installation issues anyway, this might be a good time to consider upgrading to Sanity Studio v3. The current version of the plugin (sanity-plugin-mux-input) is actively maintained for v3, and you'll have much better support going forward. Studio v2 reached end-of-life, so you'll increasingly run into compatibility issues with newer tools and dependencies.

For Studio v3, the installation is simpler:

npm install sanity-plugin-mux-input

Then add it to your sanity.config.ts:

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {muxInput} from 'sanity-plugin-mux-input'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [muxInput()],
})
