Description

Important Information

Provide following Information:

  • mpv version 0.32
  • Linux Distribution and Version Arch Linux 64b
  • Source of the mpv binary https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/archive/v0.32.0.tar.gz
  • If known which version of mpv introduced the problem
  • Window Manager and version Plasma 5.19.3 on X11
  • GPU driver and version Mesa 20.2.0-dev
Reproduction steps

Playing a DVD with dvd://[title], at the end of the video mpv does not quit but instead launch another title, in my test it'll be the menu forever, but maybe with other DVDs it would be different.

Expected behavior

mpv dvd://[title] quits at the end of the current title

Actual behavior

mpv dvd://[title] keeps going onto the next title, in this case for ever

Log file

log.txt

I read in #1527 that dvdread:// should be better, but it does not seem to exist anymore unless I now need to enable it at build time but I found no option for that.

My goal is simply to stream-dump to a file, so nothing fancy should be needed.

Thanks!
