- Issue started after the following happened: play HDR videos with AV1 format while VAAPI is enabled.
Reproduction Steps
Here is the source video from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0PE3t77weY
mpv --log-file=AV1_glitch.txt --no-config --vo=gpu-next --ytdl-raw-options=cookies-from-browser=firefox --target-colorspace-hint=auto --hwdec=vaapi --fs https://youtu.be/p0PE3t77weY
I recorded the glitch from my smart phone: https://youtube.com/shorts/uCCGXWKJlhs
It is between 00:12 to 00:15 at the top left corner.
Expected Behavior
No glitch, play smoothly.
Actual Behavior
I can see the glitch.
Log File
Sample Files
Lots of HDR videos on YouTube.

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
Reproduce the issue with the supplied YouTube sample and the exact mpv command using --vo=gpu-next, --target-colorspace-hint=auto, and --hwdec=vaapi; inspect output.txt alongside the GPU, Mesa, kernel, and FFmpeg details. Trace the GPU rendering and VAAPI path involved in HDR AV1 playback. Done means the reported top-left glitch no longer appears under the supplied conditions.
