Emby Theater 3.0.21 is broken when using gpu-next

[scottpro 4]

Emby Theater updated last night on my HTPC and mpv stopped playing movies.  I reverted back to 3.0.20 and it started working again.  The problem is "mpv-1.dll" was updated to 0.36.0 which breaks using "gpu-next",  "gpu" works fine.  I download the latest "libmpv-2.dll" and renamed it to "mpv-1.dll" and it now works using ET 3.0.21.  Emby Theater 3.0.21 using "gpu-next" with the distributed "mpv-1.dll" is broken.

I am also having a problem with Emby Theater for Windows 3.0.21, started mysteriously about 12 hours ago, when I try to play a video I just get a spinning circle.

Changing the Video Output from GPU-Next to Auto seems to fix it.

OK i'm taking down the release for now. 3.0.20 is the latest again. Thanks guys.

You can download it from here.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/

I used the "mpv-dev-x86_64-20230910-git-be92223.7z" version.

Thanks Scottpro.

Mpv 0.36 changelog is here : https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases

It seems to deal with HDR10+ and DV (?)

@genericHello generic. Some explanations about these mpv 0.36 new features and ET issue with last mpv version ? Thanks

For DV, the result will either be output to HDR10 (if HDR is enabled), or to SDR. No possibility of Metadata forwarding. 

For HDR10+ the dynamic metadata is read and utilized. Certainly for tone-mapping, and probably for metadata forwarding,  though I haven't fully investigated the latter.

This has nothing to with the failure to play in Theater. That would appear to a bug somewhere with emby. If you use the shinchiro build, you should find it will work correctly.
