Stacked on #1 (feat/text-widget).

Seeking a playing video past its end made the app exit with mpv: error running command. mpv had unloaded the finished file, so the seek failed, and the player stored the failure as a fatal error. Every later render and draw_video_frames call returned it.

Changes:

  • Set mpv's keep-open=yes and keep-open-pause=no, so a video that plays to its end stays on its last frame. Seeking back resumes playback, and seek_to(0.0) replays it. A seek past the end no longer fails; in testing, mpv then restarted from the beginning.
  • Ignore failed seek and set_position commands instead of treating them as fatal. Load and decode errors stay fatal, as before.

Testing

  • New seeking_past_the_end_keeps_the_player_usable test, opt-in like the other libmpv tests through FXCODE_TEST_VIDEO. It seeks 200 s past the end, seeks again, then replays from 0. It fails on the base branch with the same error and passes here.
  • cargo test passes; it needs the untracked docs/cars.mp4. FXCODE_TEST_VIDEO=docs/cars.mp4 cargo test -- --include-ignored also passes the libmpv frame test.
  • Checked in qmsg's video viewer inside an isolated Wayland session with Ghostty: seeking past the end, then replaying.

cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings still reports chunks_exact lints in kitty.rs tests on the current toolchain. They come from the base branch and are unrelated to this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Playback remains usable after seeking beyond the end of a media file; seeking back to the beginning works as expected.
    • Media files remain loaded and unpaused when playback reaches the end.

mpv unloaded a file when it finished, so seeking or replaying afterwards
failed. fxcode stored that failure as a fatal player error, which ended
the whole render loop. Keep the file open at its end without pausing,
and treat a failed seek as a no-op.

📝 Walkthrough

Player initialization now sets two libmpv options for end-of-file behavior. The playback-control thread ignores errors from relative and absolute seeks. An ignored test checks seeking past the media end and then returning to position zero.

Changes: Playback seek behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure end-of-file behavior
src/mpv.rs
Player::new sets keep-open=yes and keep-open-pause=no. If setting an option fails, it destroys the handle and returns the error.
Handle seeks past the media end
src/mpv.rs
The control thread no longer stores errors from relative and absolute seeks in event_error. An ignored, environment-dependent test seeks past the media end, then checks that the reported position returns below one second.

Comment thread src/mpv.rs Resolved
seek_to stores the target as the position right away, so the regression
test passed before the control thread applied the seek, and even when
set_position was never called. Replace that optimistic value with a
sentinel, so only a time-pos refresh from libmpv can satisfy the check.
