Reproduction Steps

mpv 9634885db72904a62442f3f658297875.mp4 --log-file=output.txt --no-config

Tried rebuilding from master, but still same problem.

Expected Behavior

Video plays with usual colors

Actual Behavior

Video plays with too bright colors, noticable black screen when forcing fullscreen mode, which looks similar to forced HDR mode

Log File

0.40.0 (Correctly working version) log:

output_old.txt

0.41.0 (broken) log:

output.txt

Sample Files

No response

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

  • I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
  • 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.
