Reproduction steps

Windows offers the touchpad setting "Scrolling Direction: Down motion scrolls up"

image

If this is enabled, scrolling up/down in mpv to change volume is wrong:

Expected behavior
  • Motion "Scroll Down": should decrease the volume
  • Motion "Scroll Up": should increase the volume
Actual behavior
  • Motion "Scroll Down": actually increases the volume
  • Motion "Scroll Up": actually decreases volume
Log file

I could not create this with mpv.net. I hope this is needed for my feature request.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Windows touchpad scroll events reach volume adjustment in mpv, then compare that handling with the system's “Scrolling Direction: Down motion scrolls up” setting. Verify the change with scroll-up and scroll-down gestures while the setting is enabled; done means scroll down decreases volume and scroll up increases it.
