Reproduction Steps
Requires very specific setup. It must be a one-off livestream (not those 24 hours ones), --vo=gpu-next, --gpu-api=vulkan, and ewa_* filters and --scale-antiring set. When the window shows up, wait for a moment and then go into fullscreen. After a while, mpv will hangs and becomes not responsive.
Other than that, it works everywhere. Tried d3d11, without profile, vo=gpu, --scale=ewa_* alone and --scale-antiring alone, even tried with those 24/7 livestreams, all worked.
Unfortunately the last version that worked is the stable version v0.41.0, but fortunately the artifact from SourceForge is still there.

Build 2025-12-28 doesn't work, so it's the commit between 2025-12-22 and 2025-12-28. Idk if this is from mpv or ffmpeg side.
Expected Behavior
Should be working.
Actual Behavior
When starting mpv, it starts windowed. Then after the livestream is playing, attempting to make it full screen will hang after around 5 seconds, no response at all.
Log File
Sample Files
No response
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 with the attached output.txt and reproduce the hang using the exact Vulkan, gpu-next, EWA filter, scale-antiring, fullscreen, and livestream setup described. Compare the working v0.41.0 build with builds from the 2025-12-22 to 2025-12-28 range; done means identifying the regression or confirming a fix that prevents the fullscreen livestream hang.
