Details & Reproduction Steps

Edit showonpause with no/yes and keeponpause with no/bottombar/both to try all combinations :

showonpause=yes / keeponpause=no ................ : ✅ bottombar show up 3s then hide ▶ can't choose OSC
showonpause=yes / keeponpause=bottombar : ❌ bottombar show up 3s then hide ▶ bottombar MUST stay !!!
showonpause=yes / keeponpause=both ........... : ✅ OSC stay on screen

• It is preferable that we be able to choose between both (Full OSC) and bottombar (Only bottom bar)
• The behaviour of bottombar with showonpause=yes is wrong

For my understanding, can someone explain me why the associated code of the two first combinaisons are different despite the same visual result ?

showonpause=no / keeponpause=no ............... : ✅ OSC doesn't show
showonpause=no / keeponpause=bottombar : ❌ bottombar show up 3s then hide
showonpause=no / keeponpause=both ........... : ❌OSC stay on screen

keeponpause bypass showonpause=no, so partial/full OSC shows up instead of stay hidden
showonpause MUST be a priority over keeponpause

Those two parameters need a rework... either we keep keeponpause and remove showonpause, or we restore showonpause its on/off role

Log File

My case concerns the visual behavior of OSC

I carefully read all instructions 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.
