Reproduction Steps
sid/sub 1 works within profile-cond though, which's odd. Using show-text "${slang}" shows the right value, but it seems like it's not actioned on.
Expected Behavior
Should work, works as expected when passing --slang='en,eng'.
Actual Behavior
Doesn't work. Maybe related to #14388.
Log File
Sample Files
mpv.conf
[net]
profile-cond=demuxer_via_network or stream_path == '-'
slang='en,eng'
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 issue with the provided mpv.conf, comparing slang inside profile-cond with --slang='en,eng' and the working sid/sub settings. Use the attached mpv.log to trace the behavior; done means slang set by the profile-cond section takes effect as it does on the command line.
