Reproduction Steps
any video with mpv --no-config
Expected Behavior
same output as current nightly build with libplacebo 7.351
Actual Behavior
output is washed out/overexposed. behavior with --no-config
top left with libplacebo 7.351 (expcted)
top right with libplacebo master (slightly overexposed)
bottom left libplacebo master + --target-trc=bt.1886 --target-prim=bt.709 (overexposed)
bottom right libplacebo master + --target-trc=bt.1886 --target-prim=bt.709 --target-colorspace-hint=yes (slightly overexposed)
smaller window on the right vo=libmpv (same output as top left)
same as above just with my current config (without no-config)
Log File
with no-config:
log libplacebo 7.351 (working): placebo-7.351.log
log libplacebo master (broken): placebo-master.log
without no-config:
log libplacebo 7.351 (working): placebo-7.351.log
log libplacebo master (broken): placebo-master.log
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 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.
- I provided all required information including system and mpv version.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with mpv --no-config and comparing the attached placebo-7.351.log and placebo-master.log files, using the reported macOS and libplacebo versions. Trace the macOS gpu-next rendering path and verify that output with libplacebo master matches the working 7.351 behavior without regressing vo=libmpv.
