Reproduction Steps

Requires very specific setup. It must be a one-off livestream (not those 24 hours ones), --vo=gpu-next, --gpu-api=vulkan, and --profile=high-quality.
Other than that it works everywhere. Tried d3d11, without profile, vo=gpu, even tried with those 24/7 livestreams, all worked.

Expected Behavior

Should be working.

Actual Behavior

When starting mpv, it starts windowed. Then after the livestream is playing, attempting to make it full screen will hang after around 5 seconds, no response at all.

Log File

output.txt

Sample Files

No response

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

  • I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
  • I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
  • I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
  • I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
  • I attached the full, untruncated log file.
  • I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.
