Hi, Since 0.35.0-r1 update, any video drop frames. [ 0.629][d][vd] Allocating new DR image... [ 0.666][d][vd] Allocating new DR image... [ 0.788][d][vd] Allocating new DR image... [ 1.194][d][vd] Allocating new DR image... See this : https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/10972#issuecomment-1340100762 It would be helpful to add a quick note in the ebuild to warn the user of such old hardware to either set : vd-lavc-dr=no or : vo=gpu-next (if libplacebo USE flag is enabled, which is default) in .config/mpv/mpv.conf This is not needed with previous version of mpv (0.34), it only started to happen with 0.35. Reproducible: Always
Unfortunate when it does, but giving me the impression this is affecting a rather minimal amount of people under specific use case (old hardware + probably not wayland + need an affected -vo output, etc..). Giving a message would just be unnecessary noise to most, and trying to probe what's in use to narrow it down sounds messy. Also probably wouldn't be seen much at this point given it's already stable and installed anyway. If you really want to communicate this somewhere, you may want to edit the wiki[1] (it has a troubleshooting section). [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mpv
On a side-note, upstream did pin the issue for visibility now, hopefully it'll help affected people. I'll keep an eye on it, if there's a non-invasive fix could consider backporting.

Upstream seem to be planning mpv-0.35.1 soon'ish and I'd assume it'll include the PR[1] to do vd-lavc-dr=auto that will hopefully solve this. So I'll just wait for .1 and see. I'll leave this open until then just for visibility (the WONTFIX was mostly about not adding a message). [1] https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/10999
Alright, thanks Ionen. Wait and see then. Otherwise, you're right. This would best fit in the wiki (Archlinux added a note in their wiki), I only need to create an account to do that. :) Cheers
