Hi,

I'm using mpv a lot and on the latest guix pull it stopped working with this error message:

klm@pal ~ ➤ mpv https://download.blender.org/durian/trailer/sintel_trailer-480p.ogv
[ffmpeg/demuxer] ogg: Broken file, keyframe not correctly marked.
 (+) Video --vid=1 'Sintel Trailer' (theora 854x480)

klm@pal ~ ➤ readlink $(which mpv)
/gnu/store/3i6dmnksdr4sif66hlgh1g0dxfqwxzsi-mpv-0.35.0/bin/mpv

After some looking around a bit, I found that gpu-contexts have changed:

klm@pal ~ ➤ mpv -gpu-context help
GPU contexts (APIs):
    auto (autodetect)
    wayland (opengl)
    drm (opengl)
klm@pal ~ ➤ /gnu/store/2chvq95z20s7xihyayiayiy40fvyqn0g-mpv-0.34.1/bin/mpv -gpu-context help
GPU contexts (APIs):
    auto (autodetect)
    wayland (opengl)
    x11egl (opengl)
    drm (opengl)

I don't know if it's relevant but may help tracking the cause of this problem down. mpv 0.34.0 works without problems. 

I found this recent patch on mpv: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/28457

Is it possible that mpv's default configuration has changed and is now causing problems for old X11 setups?

I'm in integrated Intel graphics, Linux-Libre 6.0.8-gnu #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC 1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks,

K.
