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
The player video surface is a single shared MPVOGLView that is re-parented
between the mini-bar container (main window) and the expanded-player sheet
(a separate sheet window). When presenting the sheet, the new container
attaches the shared view before the old mini-bar container tears down, so
the old container's viewWillMove(toSuperview: nil) was ripping the shared
view out of its new home via removeFromSuperview() — leaving it with no
window and a black surface. Symmetric, so it also blanked the mini-bar
preview after collapsing.
Only detach the shared view if it still belongs to the container
(superview === self). Also force a repaint on window reattach so a paused
frame redraws, and extend the onAppear resumeRendering to macOS.
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.
