some videos dont play in MPV and sound only in VLC

Hi guys

I have a weird issue..

at some stage my system gets stuck where I open a show in VLC and the first frame appears but it does not progress further than that, except audio is fine if i skip around i can hear different audio

mpv (Celluloid) does not even launch if i try to play the same video

then if i log out then log back in the issue is gone and the files work!

I'm not 100% this is a KDE issue so keen to investigate a bit further

a few notes
-5.15 kernel
-AMD 6700XT
-KDE plasma
-Pipewire
-VAAPI and VDPAU installed
-VLC output set to automatic but manual does not help
-does not happen in Wayland!
-wondering if this is some sort of file lock happening by KDE?
-clapper media player also doesnt launch

MPV (Celluloid) log:
celluloid episode1.mp4

I also have stack traces in journalctl if they are useful at all..

anyway thanks for helping solve this, any additional logs/info i can provide just let me know

then if i log out then log back in the issue is gone and the files work!

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … _KMS_start - check "glxinfo -B" on a "bad" login, it's likely using SW rendering?

Thanks for the reply, I dont have amdgpu in the modules of mkintcpio.conf.. glxinfo looks normal at the moment but will try next time the issue occurs

The idea is to add it there (and regenerate the initramfs)
