Issue with MPV player

[RaccoonKoaler]

Hello, I received the bug info listed at the bottom.
I am not sure that it is related but I am having troubles with the video's window. When I start an observation, the video's window opens separately, in wide screen and cannot be incrusted back to BORIS observation window.
I just got the new BORIS Version but sadly it didn't solve the issue.
It seems that MPV player is not collaborating well...

Thanks anyway for the BORIS dev, it's amazing!
PS: Nice new logo <3

Hi,
try to:

• close BORIS
• delete the configuration file (see https://boris.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#configuration-files)
• start BORIS and test

Hi,

I see the same issue of the video in a separate window (out of the dockable window) for Ubuntu 22.04 and BORIS 8.21.10

It happens with the default Wayland windowing system.
It doesn't happen if you use the X11 windowing system.

How to switch between Wayland and X:

@zemogoravla
thank you for this very useful information

Hi,
it seems that the issue is also present when using libmpv v.2 (on Debian 12 with x11 for example).
The v. 8.27.8 should fix this case:
https://github.com/olivierfriard/BORIS/releases/tag/v8.27.8

Can you test it and let me know?
Thank you for you collaboration
