Not sure about mpv, but I use a gstreamer pipeline to tender cameras to the raw KMS terminal display. It works much more reliably (I.e. Predictable loading times and no stutter) compared to loading a DE first. Noting that it was on a low power RPI.

Luckily, someone has got an actual solution. Check out WindHawk. I use it to run a vertical taskbar.

I’ll admit, I haven’t looked at the code. I would stand by my comment of the unsafe block being a start point.

Countering that however, what is the difference to just debugging effectively? Not sure. I suppose it’s down to the people that identified it and fixed it at the end of the day to say if there was any benefit.

I think the other takeaway here is that it was found in a section marked “unsafe”. At the very least, that’s a useful tool for the Devs to isolate potential problem areas. Comparing that to a pure C codebase where the problem could be anywhere.

Other comments are on the right track. You likely need to get your music tagged correctly. From memory, you want the Artist tag to be A feat. B, then the Album Artist tag to be A.

MusicBrainz Picard is great. Especially if your music comes from formally released albums. My issue was having lots of indie playlists/albums. I solved this by having Various Artists labelled in the Album Artist tag (I think).

Linux has native AMD drivers, no need for anything extra!
