Reproduction Steps

mpv shows lots of [vo/gpu-next/libplacebo] Masking `storable` from wrapped texture because the corresponding format 'bgra8' does not support PL_FMT_CAP_STORABLE warnings if I open a file or perform actions such as toggling fullscreen or resizing the window.

$ mpv --no-config /tmp/tmp.png 
● Image  --vid=1  (png 33x37)
VO: [gpu-next] 33x37 rgba

Expected Behavior

I expect to not see these warnings or to know a setting to hide them.

Actual Behavior

These warnings appear very often and make it difficult for me to see other important warnings. mpv works fine for me and I don't notice any problems except the verbose messages. In older mpv versions (I don't remember which ones), I didn't see the warnings.

Log File

output.txt

Sample Files

It happens with all files, e.g. <<< "P1 1 1 1" cat >| "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/tmp.pnm" && mpv --no-config "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/tmp.pnm"

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

  • I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
  • I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
  • I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
  • I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
  • I attached the full, untruncated log file.
  • I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.
