Description
Hello everybody,
I saw this very old issue report and wanted to ask, whether it would be possible to make wayland-embedding in libmpv possible, too? This would be great!!! The vlc guys think about this, too (see here ;-) ) a function as mpv_set_wl_surface or similar would be great. Rendering through OpenGL doesn't work for me and a simpler alternative in Wayland would be very important!
Thanks in advance,
Max

Research direction
Start by reading the linked mpv issue #1242 and reviewing the current libmpv embedding behavior described in this issue. Determine the scope of Wayland surface embedding and whether a supported API such as mpv_set_wl_surface can be defined; done means a clear implementation path and working Wayland embedding.
