Extra libmpv options (Settings > Playback) reach every embedded engine off the command line (createSession array on Windows/macOS, a 0600 --include file on Linux native-view, a stdin preamble for the frame-copy helper); the keys the embed depends on are refused, and keys libmpv rejects are reported once per session. Dropped streams reload automatically (error, or ended on live) with 2 s -> 30 s backoff, six attempts per outage and a 30 s stability reset, only for a load that already played; engine failures stay terminal, a running recording is filed as interrupted and restarted after the reload, and an external subtitle file is re-added. Settings.embeddedMpvAutoReconnect (default on) opts out; the player shows 'Reconnecting... attempt N of M'.
