[Qwerty-Space]

mpv version and platform

Windows, not sure what version:

Reproduction steps

Hold down frame-step key

Expected behavior

Cycle through frames

Actual behavior

It pretty much just plays the video, audio and all. Sound should be muted when using this button

mpv version and platform

Windows, not sure what version:

Invoking mpv.exe directly does not spawn its CLI interface. Try a simple mpv --version or, on a worst case scenario, mpv.com --version.

Regarding the audio playing while frame-stepping, @wm4 (RIP) had this to say about a similar issue dealing with frame-stepping: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3476#issuecomment-244064404

I must confess I never really understood his reply 100%, but I took it as "(shit) is really hard to workaround".

FWIW I always thought this was a feature, not a bug?

[garoto]

I always wished for input-ar-rate to be respected while doing frame-step (audio or not was never relevant for me). Sort of a silly request on the surface I imagine, but nowadays I somewhat can see how doing the work to implement any sort of user-requests can bite you in the ass in the future.

I always assumed to myself that wm4 was paranoic about implementing niche requests for some sort of similar reason.

Thanks for the input. Would be nice if it muted it though.

For you maybe, but not for others. You are aware that the m button mutes, right?

Yes, maybe there should be a frame-step & hold-mute thing?

[Argon-]

Some commands are executed asynchronously, right? Or more like: they don't necessarily block until their result is in effect.
Otherwise a set mute true ; frame-step ; set mute false might work.

(FWIW, I also like it the way it is)

Thanks, I'll give it a shot

resolved with different key binding.
