And without knowing that, the actual bug will only ever get fix by chance due to a dev's unrelated tampering with the affected component.
These video bugs do not get fixed even when devs deliberately try: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50277 https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56614
Basically, your approach is nearly opposite of bugs fixing.
Hard disagree.
Bugs to users: videos broken
My approach: fix users broken videos
I agree much more technical work is required close this bug.
But when bugs have workarounds and are already well documented it's not necessary to burden reporters with redundant work.
Even if the work were not redundant, workarounds should be still suggested.
It's adding layers of duct tape and plaster without ever trying to determine what the actual problem is.
The actual problem is caused by whatever is lacking in wine that is solved by proton.
Those layers of duct tape and plaster probably contain the solution that needs to be propagated to wine so that videos play without workarounds anymore.
My approach: Diff proton vs wine to find the discrepancy. Hardly not ever trying to determine the actual problem. Rather I found a solution and now trying to apply it to wine.
Why proton devs do not contribute fixes back to wine is also an enigma to me. Special sauce stays special for now. But 99% of the sauce just pure wine. So those layers of duct tape and plaster are quite thin.
