Youtube gives mpv only vp9

Playing video:

Code: [Select]
user@host> mpv https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch\?v=sVmI8DRmZPA                                                                                ~
 (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (vp9 1280x720 60.000fps)
 (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (opus 2ch 48000Hz)

[ffmpeg/video] vp9: No support for codec vp9 profile 0.
VO: [gpu] 1280x720 yuv420p

But my configuration said not to use vp9:
Code: [Select]
# Громкость

# Кэш

# Заголовок
title='${filename/no-ext}'

# Аппаратное ускорение

# Выравнивание звука

Subtitles are also loaded if the video is in my native language with the same configuration i.e. commented out:

Code: [Select]

I don't understand why this is bypassing the config

I see you have in your config

Code: [Select]
ytdl-format="bestvideo[height<=?720][vcodec!=vp9]+bestaudio/best"

Idk but you can try

Code: [Select]
ytdl-format="bestvideo[height<=?720][vcodec!=vaapi]+bestaudio/best"

Just a guess though.

mpv still gets vp9 which has no hardware video acceleration

~/.config/yt-dlp/config:
Code: [Select]
-S "codec:h264"
now vaapi is in use:
Code: [Select]

Using hardware decoding (vaapi).
VO: [gpu] 1280x720 vaapi[nv12]
AO: [pulse] 192000Hz stereo 2ch float
AV: 00:00:32 / 00:03:59 (13%) A-V:  0.000 Cache: 10s/1MB

vaapi seems to work, but it seems not

 Strange thing happening with my mpv too while playing any video. It starts normally at around 10% cpu usage and rather fast this percentage climbs till it hits about 54-55% and this happens even if I play low resolution like 144p.

Definitely there's some conflict between packages libplacebo and glslang or I don't know what else..

Guess if I keep watching a 30-40 minutes vid I'll reach 100% cpu. These are most annoying kinda of bugs..

That appears to be some bug with glibc. See the mpv issue for some more details. Strangely, I can't actually reproduce it.

Edit: here's the glibc tracker.

 Yeah when updated glibc looked at it with a grain of salt and some bitterness as I've somehow anticipated it will mess some things. These core packages always give some errors here and there and now it was mpv turn to get screwed. Even if it's glibc fault I think there's bigger chance mpv will get around this with a fix as it seems to be the only 😵 affected pkg.

 Edit: had to modify my mpv config file like bellow so the high cpu bug goes away.
Code: [Select]
--cache=no
#--cache-on-disk=yes
#--cache-secs=20

All fixed!
