- Issue started after the following happened: updating NVIDIA driver from 590.48.01 to 595.45.04
Note that it could be a driver issue of course, or it could be some API change. 595.45.04 is a beta version so there's time to report it to NVIDIA and fix if that's the case.
Reproduction Steps
Update the NVIDIA driver to 595.45.04, the current beta. mpv window either instantly disappears (if resized by the WM) or shows normally but freezes as soon as it's resized. Note that switching to fullscreen and back works fine. Affected video outputs are gpu and gpu-next with Vulkan API. gpu-api=opengl is not affected but it shows heavy artifacts on my system (on both stable and beta driver). Vdpau, x11, xv all work fine.
Expected Behavior
Window can be resized normally with no freezes. Works ok on 590.48.01.
Actual Behavior
After any window resize the window freezes.
Log File
[vo/gpu/libplacebo] vk->GetSwapchainImagesKHR(vk->dev, current->swapchain, &num_images, current->vkimages.elem): VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN (../src/vulkan/swapchain.c:771)
[vo/gpu/libplacebo] Failed (re)creating swapchain!
Could not initialize video chain.
Also if the window is resized, it spams this: vk->CreateSwapchainKHR(...): VK_ERROR_NATIVE_WINDOW_IN_USE_KHR (../src/vulkan/swapchain.c:766)
Sample Files
No response
I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
- I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
- I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
- I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of
--log-file=output.txt. - I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
- I attached the full, untruncated log file.
- I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.
