Sample Files

No response

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
  • I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
  • I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
  • I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
  • I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
  • I attached the full, untruncated log file.
  • I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction

Reproduce the qBittorrent launch scenario on Windows and compare it with launching mpv directly. Start with the attached output.txt and the documented reproduction steps; done means subtitle files can be dragged into mpv and are added when mpv was opened from qBittorrent.
