Bug 588584 – <media-video/smplayer-16.8.0: incorrect volume levels in GUI/OSD with >=media-video/mpv-0.18.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hello.

mpv-0.18.1 has changed how softvol works [1,2] and smplayer needs to adapt.

The above changes result in the following behaviour:

- if softvol control is OFF in smplayer and maximum amplification is X (X>100),
  then OSD volume bar has maximum volume level X, i.e. there's a non-filled bar
  area even when volume is set to 100.
  IIRC the default maximum amplification value used in smplayer is 110.

- if softvol control is ON in smplayer and maximum amplification is X (X>100),
  then changing volume to 100 via GUI volume slider actually changes it to X.
  OSD volume bar displays volume level correctly though.

This is with smplayer-16.6.0 and mpv-0.18.1.
mpv-0.18.1 will appear in tree in about a week, see bug 588492.

Please note that software volume and regular volume work properly.
Only the way volume level is presented to the user is broken/inconsistent.

Same with smplayer-16.7.0.

Fixed in https://app.assembla.com/spaces/smplayer/subversion/commits/8016
Should be available in the next smplayer release after 16.7.0.

Fixed in smplayer-16.8.0, which was released about 2 weeks ago.

I can confirm this is fixed in smplayer-16.8.0.
