[BUG] mpv media player sometimes crashing at launch.

Open amix3 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

This is a very specefic bug only happening in cosmic desktop when I run mpv with xwayland gpu context. (On default mpv , with wayland gpu-context this bug doesn't happen)

In my mpv config it is set to run on xwayland rather than wayland (which is the default) with this line in my mpv.conf :

gpu-context=x11vk

Please note that to reproduce this bug you have to set the gpu context to x11egl or x11vk like above, then launch mpv; for the first time it should launch correctly, but if you close the mpv app with "super + q" or "q" you would not be able to open it again as it would crash on launch like this:

I think this might be related to the compositor and xwayland. I know this bug might not be that important but I hope you guys fix it because it might show an underlying issue/bug with cosmic desktop. Sorry if I explained it poorly.
