Reproduction Steps

When I call loadfile from script from key binding, the video file opens, but it doesn't play, it hangs at position 0, the play/pause button indicates it's playing, nothing happens when pressing the button, it starts playing when the seek bar is clicked.

It works correctly when I call loadfile from the console.

The logic of the code is to cycle pause if the playlist isn't empty, if the playlist is empty, a defined video folder is loaded.

It worked with v0.39.

The code:

mp.register_script_message("cycle-pause", function ()
    local count = mp.get_property_number("playlist-count")

    if count > 0 then
        mp.command("cycle pause")
    else
        if is_windows then
            mp.command("loadfile 'E:\\Video\\YouTube'")
        else
            mp.command("loadfile '/mnt/Media/Video/YouTube'")
        end
    end
end)

Expected Behavior

Video file plays.

Actual Behavior

Video playback hangs.

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

• [x] I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• [x] I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• [x] 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.
• [x] I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• [x] I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• [x] I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Do you have RBAR enabled? Does it also happens with --gpu-api=opengl?

Do you have RBAR enabled?

No

Does it also happens with --gpu-api=opengl?

Yes

It happens with v0.39 too, I notice now. A system change I did today was:

sudo apt install libshaderc-dev
