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.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 x64 with the linked mpv v0.41.0-dev build and the shown mpv.exe command. Use the attached screenshot and log to investigate why the minimize, maximize, and close buttons do not respond; done means all three window buttons work normally.
