blur-edges makes mpv stop working with resume-playback

[CamilleScholtz]

After launching a video (using blur-edges) for the second time (so it resumes from previous playback) only the audio starts playing, no window appears. Also no errors at all.

I'll look into it, but I'm pretty sure that it's "just" the video track that gets unselected. You can work around that by pressing _ for now.

So what's happening is that to use the video in a "lavfi_complex" filter, we must first unselect it (by setting vid=no). Then, when quitting, watch_later remembers that we modified this option and writes it in the file. You can see that easily by opening the watch_later file corresponding to your video.

I tried different ways of restoring the video track just before exit, but these happen after the watch_later file has been written to.

Right now the only way I see is to add some logic to reset the video track when opening a file for which it is unselected. It's not a super satisfying fix, though.

This should be fixed as of https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/07c54d8c5ca0388cd9466438c09d380e32c13183, you'll have to compile mpv from git or wait for the next release.

I'm using mpv git now and it's still not working :(

Right sorry, I was testing with local changes that I ended up not pushing. Since the change in question breaks the script on older versions of mpv, I've put it behind a config option: https://github.com/occivink/mpv-scripts/blob/master/lua-settings/blur_edges.conf#L21-L23
