The bug might be in media-video/mpv version 0.40.0-r1 or in media-libs/libplacebo (version 7.349.0) media-libs/libplacebo did not change in the latest update, it is more likely to be in media-video/mpv. When running mpv with -fs to play a (local) video on fullscreen, I get the following error: ``` [vo/gpu/libplacebo] vk->CreateSwapchainKHR(...): VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (../libplacebo-v7.349.0/src/vulkan/swapchain.c:622) [vo/gpu/libplacebo] Failed (re)creating swapchain! Could not initialize video chain. Video: no video ``` And only audio is played. Not even a blank screen. When I start the same video not in full screen, I get some glitches but even switching to fullscreen works. Additional Info: - I use x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-470.256.02-r2 as my GTX 680 is not supported by newer drivers - Same goes for kernel: sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-6.6.85 Going back to media-video/mpv-0.39.0-r1 fixes the bug.
Cannot reproduce with 570 drivers and, with 470, that sounds more like driver bugs with vulkan really which we cannot do much about. There is a probable reason that it started happening though, mpv-0.40 switched to using vulkan by default and these old (unsupported) drivers likely have problems with it, but you can revert that behaviour. Aka ensure USE=egl is set on mpv and try `mpv --gpu-api=opengl` instead, you can put that in your mpv.conf (gpu-api=opengl) or alternatively disable USE=vulkan entirely. Alternatively may also want to try if --vo=gpu-next --gpu-api=vulkan fares better when using vulkan (gpu-next will become default eventually). There is also the option to switch to using nouveau, has poor performance and support but it's good enough to get a working display for old cards.
