- Issue started after the following happened: Updated today 12/31/24
Reproduction Steps
gpu-api=vulkan in my .conf file. When I comment this line out or pick another API it opens. But my 4k videos are choppy if I don't use Vulkan.
Expected Behavior
MPV opens
Actual Behavior
The window for MPV never opens, but in task manager I see MPV pop up then disappear
Log File
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 failure on Windows 10 with the listed mpv build, using gpu-api=vulkan in the .conf file and reviewing the attached mpv.log. Compare behavior with Vulkan disabled or another API selected. Done means mpv opens reliably with Vulkan enabled and 4K playback is no longer choppy.
