Hello,
First, thanks you a lot for this project!
I like it a lot but I have a problem with mpv : after some time the software take a huge delay (like one or two minutes) to launch. The problem is only here if the computer is on since a few hours.
If I'm not the only one with the problem, I suggest to blacklist mpv.
Thanks you

Hi @Froggy232, I'm using mpv daily, no problems here. I would suggest checking your audio setup and starting mpv via terminal to see whats going wrong.

There is nothing if I try to launch it via the terminal, the terminal just hangs until mpv is launched.
I use pipewire with default setup, do you think it could come from here?
What is weird is I don't have any problem with the archlinux official package.

On a related note, does someone know how to blacklist a package from a repository in pacman?
Thanks you

Did this start to happen just recently or since you switched to ALHP?

I had similar problems with mpv before (some years ago), caused by the soundsystem (pulse or pipewire) not letting mpv stream its audio, filling the buffer until it just stops (which can happen right at the start).

There could be problems with the recently introduced LTO, but mpv was not build with LTO and is not listed on gentooLTO either.

pipewire is already build with LTO, but its working fine for me. Could be hardware dependent, but I doubt that in this case.

Do you have some elaborate sound-setup with pipewire?
