Top 30ish pixels are semi-transparent regardless of settings. #2059

rcurry95 commented 9 years ago

I'm using mpv 0.9.2 on Gentoo with all the latest x64 updates. Nothing in the output or anything seems to be wrong persay, but it is rather annoying and I'm not exactly sure what the deal is. You can see in the image that one can see the CPU monitor behind the video at the top left. Of course the transparency goes all the way across the window. It scales to the size of the window. I've tried with --noconfig and all of the -vo settings. 2015-06-18-163638_1366x768_scrot

What WM and compositor (if you're using one)?

What should the screenshot look like at all?

I think the problem is the weird hexagonal pattern directly below the title bar through which you can see the cpu monitor presumably on the desktop.

i3 and compton.

Not semi-transparent at the top of the video.

Indeed. The hexagonal pattern is actually just the wallpaper, but you hit the nail on the head.

No idea what that could be. I'm pretty sure we clear the background with opaque black, so even if we get a window with alpha pixel format, it shouldn't be transparent.

You could try --panscan=1.

rcurry95 commented 9 years ago

Nothing... I didn't think this was a usual issue since I found nothing on the webz about it. Guess I will just wait until the next update to see if that changes anything. This is what it looks like with panscan: 2015-06-20-094341_1366x768_scrot

At this point I'd blame the compositor.

rcurry95 commented 9 years ago

Why? It doesn't do it with any other media player... Including mplayer.

ghost commented 9 years ago

Try --vo=xv.

rcurry95 commented 9 years ago

No dice. It does go away when I turn off compton. I'll just deal with it because I'm not going to stop using compton.

ghost commented 9 years ago

Report it to compton. I'm pretty sure this is not our fault, because Xv and X11 as a whole don't even have a concept of transparency.

For people experiencing this issue and seeing this, try changing your frame opacity. frame-opacity = 1; did the trick for me
