Description
Important Information
- mpv 0.33.1
- macOS 10.15
- Binary Source: https://laboratory.stolendata.net/~djinn/mpv_osx/

Reproduction steps
Loading a CUE sheet into mpv plays all references media files. However, the media title is not updated accordingly. In this case, the first track is named “Sunrise 79” and will be displayed until the last track finishes. The track titles of all other media files are not displayed. Additionally, you cannot click the arrows beside the track title (the buttons which usually control the next/previous track).
Expected behavior
The GUI should display the currently playing media file / chapter. Also, the next and previous buttons should jump to the markers indicated with triangle in the position-bar.
Actual behavior
The title always shows the first media only and the buttons for next / previous are disabled

Research direction
Start by loading the provided test.cue with the referenced media files in mpv and observe the displayed title and next/previous controls as tracks change. Trace the code responsible for CUE track metadata and the GUI controls; done means the current track title is shown and the controls navigate between the marked tracks.
