Highlights:
> 2. Edit PKGBUILD and add this line in "_meson_options=()": -Dgl-x11=enabled
…
> It wasn't a default option upstream since at least 2021, https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/8515
…
> 100% I tested all 1.35.xx mpv and I went back every time to 1.34 because this one was working.

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Upstream disabled that option by default and tagged it as "deprecated/legacy" on Sep 18, 2020 in the following commit: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit /7831e52238790bf1742b194e0469cf3db5f59bd d
The commit message also says that this option will eventually be removed completely at some point.

We will follow upstream's decision and not explicitly re-implement that option on our side.

VDPAU might be broken for anyone. On my other PC with Ryzen APU if I run "mpv --no-config --hwdec=vdpau" none of the videos report "(hwdec: vdpau)". With "mpv --no-config --hwdec=vaapi" almost all report "(hwdec: vaapi)".

Bug confirmed.

-Dgl-x11=enabled fixes it.

If anything, one can still add this option to the PKGBUILD and built it themself while this option still exists.
