Package: mpv
Version: 0.38.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: invernom...@paranoici.org

Hello and thanks for maintaining this great package in Debian!

One of the very useful features of mpv is that it is able to use
yt-dlp behind the scenes, in order to play YouTube videos (and videos
from other platforms, as well).

Unfortunately, since last Tuesday or Wednesday (23 or 24 July 2024),
mpv has stopped being able to seek within YouTube videos.

I mean that, if I issue a command such as:

  $ mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$VIDEO

or:

  $ mpv --volume=84 --fullscreen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$VIDEO

I can watch the whole video from the beginning to the end, as usual.

But, if I attempt to skip to a given chapter (with the » or « buttons)
or to a given time instant (by clicking on the progress bar) within
the video, the video freezes (still image and no audio) and mpv fails
to fill the cache with the appropriate segment of the video, despite
downloading a bunch of data (I see downstream traffic on the network
interface).

This began to happen all of a sudden (in the middle of the week, as I said),
without any upgrade of mpv or yt-dlp on my Debian testing box.
I do not see any other relevant package upgrade in the days when this
began to happen. I may be wrong, but I suspect that something has changed
in YouTube, rather than in yt-dlp or mpv.

However, even if the cause may be in YouTube, this should be fixed (or worked
around) in mpv (or maybe in yt-dlp, please re-assign the bug report, if
this is the case).

Please fix this bug, and/or forward my bug report upstream, as appropriate.

Thanks for your time!
Bye.
