I can reproduce this with Ubuntu's package and with Debian's 0.27 package if I manually use "--vo=wayland". When using the wayland vo, all "window close" commands (like quit from the activities menu, alt-f4, etc) do nothing. You can still quit mpv by typing "q".

Possibly unrelated, but this major rewrite PR was recently submitted for wayland. It might be a good idea to see if that fixes this issue.

"q" will help until the bug is fixed, thank you James.

I see now that mpv upstream has completely removed the wayland video output driver pending a full rewrite which is not yet complete (the PR above was just a part of it). I guess we will have to wait for that to happen.

mpv (0.29.0-1ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Rewrote 08_fix-lp1698287.patch to work with the latest mpv source code,
    allowing VAAPI to work in Wayland sessions out-of-the-box. (LP: #1698287)
  * Reintroduce mpv.conf.ubuntu to enable VAAPI acceleration by default.
    (LP: #1708102)
  * Rebased on latest Debian version 0.29.0-1.
