Artifacts when screen sharing application on Discord
Describe the bug When screen sharing an mpv.net window in the Discord desktop client (doesn't seem to happen in the browser) there are artifacts, such as a black screen at random times. I tested with VLC, which didn't have any artifacts, so it's most likely an issue with mpv.net, not Discord.
I haven't tested with other services, like Zoom, so the problem might not be Discord specific.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Play any video in mpv.net
- In a local Discord client share the mpv.net window (haven't tested sharing the whole screen)
- Users watching the stream should start seeing artifacts at random times (moving the mouse might increase occurrences)
Expected behavior No artifacts when screen sharing.
Screenshots The artifacts occur randomly and for a short time, so I can't reliably take screenshots.
This occurs on most players including MPC-BE and regular MPV. A bug should be opened with discord or MPV themselves.

Ok, I'll open an issue with MPV. Should I close this one or keep it open?
How do I find which upstream version of mpv the current release of mpv.net uses?
You sure? Because it doesn't happen with VLC. I mean it might still be a problem with Discord, but VLC still does something different than mpv, otherwise it would have the same problem.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that they have some special code for VLC that breaks other players.
