No window (sound works) without compton #6680

Closed axelfischer closed 5 years ago

axelfischer commented 5 years ago

mpv version and platform

mpv 0.29.1 on Gentoo

Reproduction steps

Use EXWM (Emacs Window Manager), kill the compton process and play any video file in mpv.

Expected behavior

The mpv window opens and the video gets shown.

Actual behavior

The sound plays but no mpv window opens. When running Compton, everything works as expected.

Note that there is absolutely no reason to use this, other than compatibility. This is low quality, and has issues with OSD.

Do not use vo=vaapi. Try --no-config first.

(You set gpu-api=vulkan, but with vo=vaapi, vulkan API is definitely not going to be used.)

Thank you! That worked. I read through the documentation now and fixed the issues in my configuration.
