In separate-window mode, hide() keeps the ordered-out window's SwiftUI
hierarchy alive (nilling contentViewController crashes AVKit), and its
updateNSView unconditionally re-attached the shared MPVOGLView -
stealing it into a window CoreAnimation never composites. The layer's
silent skip-render fallback then consumed every frame flag, so video
stayed black (climbing vo drops) until app restart.
- Decline stealing the shared view from a visible container into a
non-visible one; owner-initiated transfers bypass the guard
- Only transfer to containers in visible windows or the window still
tracked by ExpandedPlayerWindowManager; park the view otherwise and
reclaim it when a container gains a window
- Log skip-render frame consumption (rate-limited) and track render
health counters (draws/skips/dropped draws)
- Add a watchdog to the playback stats task that detects a stalled
video output and re-attaches the view to a visible container
- Don't mount player layouts during zero-size layout passes
The macOS CAOpenGLLayer is pull-based: after the shared render view is
re-parented into a reopened player window, a single forced repaint is
issued. draw() consumed the forceDraw flag before validating the
viewport, so when that repaint landed while the layer was still 0x0
(the expanded window builds its content a runloop late), the request
was swallowed. With mpv paused during load, nothing repainted again,
leaving the video permanently black with working audio.
- Validate viewport/framebuffer in draw() before consuming flags;
on failure keep the forced draw armed and retry (bounded, 5x50ms)
- Repaint from setFrameSize on the first non-zero layout while a
forced draw is still pending
- Drop the stale fbo=1 fallback; render only into the validated
live framebuffer binding
- clearToBlack: take the CGL lock and skip glClear when no
framebuffer is bound - clearing FBO 0 on this core-profile context
latched GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION, which libmpv reported on
every load
- Add diagnostics for dropped draws and the first-frame render
MPVOpenGLLayer called fatalError() when CGLChoosePixelFormat failed for
both the 10-bit and 8-bit (kCGLPFAAccelerated) formats, killing the app at
launch on machines without a usable GPU such as virtual machines.
Add a non-accelerated software pixel format as a last resort and make the
whole OpenGL init path failable: createPixelFormat/createContext return nil
(with an error log) instead of aborting, MPVOpenGLLayer.init becomes init?,
and MPVOGLView holds an optional layer, throwing openGLSetupFailed from
setup(with:) when OpenGL is unavailable. That error is already handled by
MPVBackend.setupMPVAsync, so the app now launches cleanly and only logs that
video playback is unavailable.
