Demo

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
  • I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
  • 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 command and no configuration on Plasma 6.7, then compare the maximize behavior with Plasma 6.6. Review fullscreen.txt alongside the reproduction details and use the linked demo to identify the affected transition. Done means maximize animation is smooth on Plasma 6.7 without regressing normal video playback.
