Reproduction Steps
Set input.conf to this two lines:
KP_DIVIDE ignore
KP_MULTIPLY ignore
Run mpv:
mpv --no-video <media file>
Expected Behavior
Pressing '/' or '*' on keypad should be ignored.
Actual Behavior
Pressing '/' or '*' on keypad changes volume. This is default behavior.
Log File
Sample Files
This happens with any audio file or video file that only plays the audio track - based on my testing.
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 mpv --no-video and the two input.conf entries KP_DIVIDE ignore and KP_MULTIPLY ignore. Start by examining the terminal input handling and the attached output.txt, then verify that keypad '/' and '*' no longer change volume while other input behavior remains intact.
