Reproduction steps
ok 2 issues 1: with no working audio device playback completely stalls, progress stays at 0 unless --no-audio switch is used, and 2: nothing is reported in the log file even with -v flag is used the affect of both is the same when --no-config is used i will attach a log file that demonstrates the logging issue
Expected behavior
some indication of the stall should be reported in the log
Ran into this issue before, all applications stall their video playback when your audio device is broken. Chrome does spit out errors in the log so it must be possible.
From the log it appears to picking ao/pulse as the audio output driver. What happens if you try --pulseaudio-latency-hacks=yes?
In either case, playback appears to be halted because the default is --video-sync=audio, which times video frames to the audio output, and it appears that PulseAudio is not reporting any proper audio output timing information. In theory --video-sync=display-resample could work around this. I'm guessing this is a PulseAudio bug, so you could also try another Pulse implementation, like pipewire-pulse, or another audio output driver like ao=pipewire or ao=sdl, to see what happens.
ok so the audio issue was a regression in the 5.19.8 kernel, 5.19.9 fixed it, fedora 36 is using pipewire, i guess mpv was using pipewire-pulse. but anyway this ticket was mainly about the stall not being logged
:+1: I ran into this with pipewire, it would be nice to know that the ao is responsible.
