Description
Provide following Information:
- mpv version: 0.32.0-810-gf85de9e6d6
- Linux Distribution: Arch
- Source of the mpv binary: mpv-full-build AUR package
When playing multiple files in a playlist, it seems like the first file's replaygain is applied to everything, instead of the replaygain for each file being applied when that file is played.
For example, file 1:
mpv -v --no-config --replaygain=track ./1.mkv 2>&1 | grep -i replay
[cplayer] Command line options: '-v' '--no-config' '--replaygain=track' './1.mkv'
[cplayer] Setting option 'replaygain' = 'track' (flags = 8)
[cplayer] Replaygain: Track=5.330000/0.314455 Album=5.330000/0.314455
[cplayer] Applying replay-gain: 1.847141
file 2:
mpv -v --no-config --replaygain=track ./2.mkv 2>&1 | grep -i replay
[cplayer] Command line options: '-v' '--no-config' '--replaygain=track' './2.mkv'
[cplayer] Setting option 'replaygain' = 'track' (flags = 8)
[cplayer] Replaygain: Track=-4.150000/0.647406 Album=-4.150000/0.647406
[cplayer] Applying replay-gain: 0.620155
But if I play both and manually do playlist-next, the only output is:
mpv -v --no-config --replaygain=track ./1.mkv ./2.mkv 2>&1 | grep -i replay
[cplayer] Command line options: '-v' '--no-config' '--replaygain=track' './1.mkv' './2.mkv'
[cplayer] Setting option 'replaygain' = 'track' (flags = 8)
[cplayer] Replaygain: Track=5.330000/0.314455 Album=5.330000/0.314455
[cplayer] Applying replay-gain: 1.847141
and the second file is too loud.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the provided mpv commands and compare the replaygain output for standalone files versus playlist-next. Trace where replaygain state is updated when changing playlist items; done means each file applies its own track gain during gapless playback, with tests or logs confirming the second file is no longer too loud.
