Description
Hello there,
I've been using mpc-qt as the client/player (using libmpv) for viewing content. I inquired with its author if it was possible to enable Vulkan & vo_dmabuf_wayland support and he replied with the following. To summarize, if libmpv exposed these features directly then it may be possible to enable support in mpc-qt without it being complicated for the project.
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
If Wayland and vo_dmabuf_wayland are exposed via libmpv, third-party clients can incorporate the features much easier.
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
I'm not sure what that would be but @cmdrkotori, or you wonderful devs, would have a better idea about this than I. :)
