- Source of mpv: Arch Linux repository
- Latest known working version: 0.38.0
- Issue started after the following happened: Update mpv to 0.39.0
Reproduction Steps
- Save a subtitle file to the folder
Subs, it in the same directory as the video file. - Save some fonts to the folder
Fonts, it in the same directory as the video file. - Run
mpv --no-config --sub-auto=fuzzy --sub-file-paths=Subs --sub-fonts-dir=Fonts 'VIDEO_PATH'in terminal (pwd doesn't in the directory of the video file) - MPV doesn't load fonts from the
Fontsfolder.
Expected Behavior
MPV loads fonts from the folder Fonts like loads subtitles from the folder Subs.
Actual Behavior
MPV loads subtitles from the folder Subs, but it doesn't load fonts from the folder Fonts
Log File
in-video-folder.txt
not-in-video-folder.txt
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
Start by reproducing the command with --sub-auto=fuzzy, --sub-file-paths=Subs, and --sub-fonts-dir=Fonts from outside the video directory, then compare the two attached logs. Trace how the two path options resolve their directories; done means fonts load from Fonts just as subtitles load from Subs.
