Description

Following Information:

  • mpv 0.36.0_310_ged5c744aa9
  • Arch Linux
  • AUR (mpv-git package)
  • KDE Kwin 5.27.8
  • nVidia Optimus (Intel HD 4600 + nVidia GeForce GT 740M with proprietary driver 470.199.2)

I was previously using a combination of --vo=gpu and --vf=vavpp:deint. Now I switched to using --vo=dmabuf-wayland and found that I see a green screen instead of video when deinterlacing is enabled. Is it possible to implement support for this filter with this video output?

Research direction

Start by tracing the vo=dmabuf-wayland video output and the vavpp:deint filter, then reproduce the green-screen result with the listed mpv, Arch Linux, KDE KWin, and NVIDIA setup. Done means vavpp:deint works with vo=dmabuf-wayland without producing a green screen.
