Reproduction Steps

Playing a normal HDR file using this mpv.conf:

input-ipc-server=mpvpipe
hwdec=auto-copy
hwdec-codecs=all
vo=gpu-next
gpu-api=d3d11
profile=gpu-hq

vf=format=dolbyvision=no
target-colorspace-hint=no
target-trc=pq
target-prim=bt.2020
hdr-compute-peak=yes
hdr-peak-decay-rate=0
tone-mapping=clip
gamut-mapping-mode=clip

glsl-shader=~~/shaders/test.glsl

and this shader:

//!PARAM max_pq_y
//!TYPE DYNAMIC float
1.0

//!HOOK OUTPUT
//!BIND HOOKED
//!DESC Test

vec4 hook() {
	vec4 color = HOOKED_tex(HOOKED_pos);

	if (max_pq_y == 0.0) { return vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0); }

	return color;
}

Expected Behavior

The value of max_pq_y should change per frame.

Actual Behavior

The value of max_pq_y is always equal to 0.0.

No response

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

• I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• 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.
