Description
Important Information
- mpv version: v0.36.0-250-g02b49458
- Windows Version Edition: Windows 10 Pro, 22H2, 19045.3208
- Source of the mpv binary: Windows Build by shinchiro
Reproduction steps
Tested with a .ts or HTTP network stream:
This works:
start mpv http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/1].ts --external-file=http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/2].ts --external-file=http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/3].ts --external-file=http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/4].ts --lavfi-complex="[vid1] [vid2] hstack [t1] ; [vid3] [vid4] hstack [t2] ; [t1] [t2] vstack [vo]"
This does not work:
start mpv http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/1].ts --external-file=http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/2].ts --external-file=http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/3].ts --external-file=http://[EXAMPLE.STREAM.COM/4].ts --lavfi-complex="[vid1] [vid2] hstack [t1] ; [vid3] [vid4] hstack [t2] ; [t1] [t2] vstack [vo]" --profile=low-latency --untimed
Expected behavior
Adding --profile=low-latency --untimed allows the stream to re-connect after a network interruption, as it does correctly with a single stream
Actual behavior
Adding --profile=low-latency --untimed causes an error that stops MPV from opening.

Research direction
Compare the working and failing mpv command lines, then inspect the attached output.txt for the error triggered by --lavfi-complex with --profile=low-latency and --untimed. Trace the relevant option-handling or filter-graph entry point identified by that error. Done means the combined options no longer prevent mpv from opening and the multi-stream setup reconnects after a network interruption.
