[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I'm using mpv a lot and on the latest guix pull it stopped working with
this error message:

klm <at> pal ~ ➤ mpv
https://download.blender.org/durian/trailer/sintel_trailer-480p.ogv
[ffmpeg/demuxer] ogg: Broken file, keyframe not correctly marked.

/gnu/store/3i6dmnksdr4sif66hlgh1g0dxfqwxzsi-mpv-0.35.0/bin/mpv

After some looking around a bit, I found that gpu-contexts have changed:

klm <at> pal ~ ➤ mpv -gpu-context help
GPU contexts (APIs):
    auto (autodetect)
    wayland (opengl)
    drm (opengl)
klm <at> pal ~ ➤ /gnu/store/2chvq95z20s7xihyayiayiy40fvyqn0g-mpv-0.34.1/bin/mpv
-gpu-context help
GPU contexts (APIs):
    auto (autodetect)
    wayland (opengl)
    x11egl (opengl)
    drm (opengl)

I don't know if it's relevant but may help tracking the cause of this
problem down. mpv 0.34.0 works without problems.
I found this recent patch on mpv: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/28457

Is it possible that mpv's default configuration has changed and is now
causing problems for old X11 setups?
I'm in integrated Intel graphics, Linux-Libre 6.0.8-gnu #1 SMP
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC 1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks,
K.
