Public bug reported: VLC was updated but MPV was not in this new release.
MPV v0.33.0 was a major release that contained a lot of features and fixes that appears on GNOME Wayland. I thought Ubuntu 21.04 release would include a new updated package but sadly it was not the case for MPV. Now that Wayland is enabled by default, updating the MPV package is really important. All the changelogs are mentioned here: https://github.com/mpv- player/mpv/releases Out of many other fixes, these two are important for Ubuntu 21.04 users: - X11: add an option to make the window appear on a specific workspace - Wayland: expose Wayland-app-id as a user option One of the annoying issues I currently face with the old v0.32.0 release is that, the screen locked according to the display timeout setting when trying to watch the video. This problem might have solved in the new release, who knows. Please update the MPV release, at least for Ubuntu 21.04. This is not even the new fresh release of MPV. It has become "old stable".
