Reproduction Steps
Launch a game using wine
Open a video with mpv
Expected Behavior
The video plays
Actual Behavior
Sometimes there is a crash, or a blue screen (with sound working but no user interface) and sometimes the video plays as expected
If the issue happens for a video it will happen if the same video is opened
Some videos can works while other are causing the issue
Closing the game and reopening the video works
Log File
output.txt
No crash backtrace, recent attempts were bluescreens instead
Sample Files
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 reading output.txt and reproducing the issue with the listed Wine game and minecraft.mkv sample while running mpv. Compare cases where playback succeeds or fails; done means identifying and fixing the crash or blue-screen condition without breaking playback, then verifying the same reproduction steps.
