Reproduction Steps
As reported in issue #4820 (closed without being fixed), playing VC-1 videos with hwdec=nvdec or vdpau causes a green screen to be shown only.
vo=gpu with hwdec=auto-safe and hwdec=auto also results in the same issue, but not specifying hwdec at all fixes the green screen issue.
Expected Behavior
Video to be shown
Actual Behavior
Green screen is shown
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 green screen with VC-1 playback under hwdec=nvdec and vdpau, then compare it with playback when hwdec is unspecified. Read the attached mpv-log.txt and the discussion of issue #4820 to trace the hardware-decoding path. Done means VC-1 video displays correctly with the affected hardware-decoding modes.
