Screenshot created but not copied to clipboard

[Justtaway]

Script(s)

clipshot.lua

Description

Image is created in temp folder, but doesn't go to clipboard.
I have Win11x64 22631.3296.

I tried enabling logs and got this, the most relevant line, as I believe, is:
[ 15.820][e][cplayer] Starting subprocess failed: init
Here is full logs:
output.txt

I tried another script at https://github.com/zc62/mpv-scripts/blob/master/screenshot-to-clipboard.js and it does work.

Possible Fix

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open video file
2. Press any clipshot hotkey (c, C, Alt+c)
3. See OSD message about screenshot being copeid to clipboard
4. Check clipboard (via Clipdiary, Windows stock clipboard manager or just pasting into any app)
   Expected result: screenshot can be pasted from clipboard to any app
   Actual result: there is no screenshot in clipboard, but file is created in temp folder. Tried changing jpeg to png, same result.

This is the command that the script tries to run on Windows:

"powershell" "-NoProfile" "-Command" "& {
            Add-Type -Assembly System.Windows.Forms;
            Add-Type -Assembly System.Drawing;
            $shot = [Drawing.Image]::FromFile(\"C:\\\\Users\\\\cuzzo\\\\AppData\\\\Local\\\\Temp\\\\mpv-screenshot.jpeg\");
            [Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetImage($shot);
        }"

Can you run it (either in cmd or powershell) and see if there's an error?

Can you run it (either in cmd or powershell) and see if there's an error?

How do I do it properly? Open mpv, copypaste enitre script in powershell? Or line by line?

[ObserverOfTime]

Just open powershell and copy paste the whole thing (assuming the file is still there).

Does it work if you run it from cmd instead?

[Justtaway]

No, cmd can't even recognize those commands.

I could not reproduce the error in my VM but it should be fixed by 342c256.

The funny thing is, the fix doesn't work for me...
