Reproduction Steps

Playing for long time without user interaction gives a variety of video and audio glitches. Also simple pause the video generate visual glitches.

Visual glitches: Sometimes solid green, sometimes a mix of grayscale artifacts, it's mostly unpredictable.
Pause the video stream at any time and it may become black, and it also happens when swapping loaded shaders when stream is paused.

Audio glitches: Becomes muted for no reason, generally when playing for very long time, to fix it without having to reopen MPV, requires the user to RMB to open context menu, and then check the audio Track again (was automatically unchecked, probably by a bug on MPV, when user was AFK, and it happens every night when I let it playing while sleeping) and it only happens when it plays for long time, like hours, without user interaction.

Expected Behavior

I want get rid of visual and audio glitches.

Actual Behavior

well described above.

Log File

there's no backtrace for these issues I guess, and if there's any, would be very difficult to get them because requires long time waiting.

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.

The log file will still tell us things about the environment mpv is running in. It's not possible to help you otherwise. If I had to guess, you're probably using Xlibre which I think is the default on Artix now. For the audio issue, it's impossible to tell you without log files

ok, I will run with log file enabled for a while and reply here, would require around 24h to get relevant logs.
