Sounds like a good thing.

Nobody seriously cares about windows anyway.

What did wm4 mean by this?

That you can record things with mpv now.

It's not wm4 who did that, afaik.

It never was.

>/mpv/ - is it still the Sup Forums media player?
Don't confuse two people shilling it 24/7 with anybody using it.

Of course it is my no.1 media player back-end.

...

What the fuck it doesn't use libmpv but calls the executable?

mpv is a linux meme because it's a cheap knock-off of madVR in rendering.

real patricians run mpc-hc or other DirectShow client with proper filters.

NOTTO DISU SHITTO AGEN

Cognitive dissonance hurts

mpv is still the best without any competition.
Wish it just had 360 videos support like VLC does.

>without any competition.

If you live in the cage of the linux meme. The DirectShow world is light years ahead of Linux on multimedia technologies. From GPU-accelerated decoders to the cream of the crop renderers, DirectShow clients are so far in front that only linux fanatics don't see it.

still my favorite media player on all platforms

mpv is a nice player and it's absolutely the go-to on any Linux desktop as far as I'm concerned, I just don't see any reason why I'd switch from MPC-HC + madVR on the Windows side. Every video plays perfectly, including 60FPS 4K HEVC and insane 400Mbps bitrate files, there's very good, configurable, rendering and up/downscaling and automatic refresh rate switching in accordance to video FPS.

The only thing I'd say mpv is better with is online streams due to how nicely it plays with youtube-dl, but that's not really my main use case.

Wow this is some top shelf, high quality, organic horseshit.
Anyways here's an objective comparison between madvr's ngu and mpv's ewa_lanczossharp scaler.

looks like smplayer is using --input-file=/dev/stdin to give commands akin to legacy mplayer slave mode

YES !!!

NOPE

It's FOSS, you have no reason to worry.

So what kind of botnet are you trying to spread?

How do they get the video output though? Or are they handling the mpv window inside their own?

I'm never allowing SF again. They tampered with the executables for profits etc. faggotry

With adaptive-sharpen mpv looks better

The only difference I'm able to see is that lines are a bit sharper on madVR (most noticeable on the left and center characters).

Should be the latter, its spawning mpv as a child process

That sounds fucking horrible, how can any developer be content with that kind of "solution".

Anything I need to change from the config? I want the best possible setup that rapes both my CPU and GPU.

###Video###

cscale=ewa_lanczossoft
framedrop=vo
# framedrop=vo
# Drop late frames on video output (default). This still decodes and filters all
# frames, but doesn't render them on the VO. It tries to query the display FPS
# (X11 only, not correct on multi-monitor systems), or assumes infinite display
# FPS if that fails. Drops are indicated in the terminal status line as Dropped:
# field. If the decoder is too slow, in theory all frames would have to be
# dropped (because all frames are too late) - to avoid this, frame dropping
# stops if the effective framerate is below 10 FPS.
hwdec=no

###Audio###

sub-gauss=.4
# Apply Gaussian blur to image subtitles (default: 0). This can help to make

I know this is a joke, but it always makes me laugh.
Thank you.

>The only thing I'd say mpv is better with is online streams due to how nicely it plays with youtube-dl, but that's not really my main use cas
It's the only reason why I used on windows to be honest.

As far as mpv developers are concerned that's mostly true, though.

But NGU (low/medium) is 2x/4x upscaler and is much lighter than ewa_things.

Why does igv want to use adaptive-sharpen as single passe only?

>- haasn doesn't commit anymore
He is still active on IRC. He contributes when there are things to do.

>- wm4 is now paid by the plex corporation
Yeah, they pay him to work on features he otherwise wouldn't care about like audio passthrough, hwdec and macOS support. So far it's been a good thing.

>- directshow based programs are still more popular
Popularity is irrelevant and has no relationship to quality. mpv (like MPlayer and mplayer2) has always been targeted at the niche of people who prefer command-line software. It has never been a direct competitor to GUI players like VLC and MPC-HC. I'd prefer if less MPC-HC users tried to "switch" to mpv, since they just ask stupid questions here and on GitHub.

>- angle was a terrible choice
ANGLE is still the most compatible backend on Windows, which is why it's still the default. Unlike dxinterop, it works on old AMD hardware, laptops with switchable graphics, and systems with no/broken OpenGL drivers. mpv will probably never get a "native" D3D11 VO, but there are some performance improvements in the works for the ANGLE backend.

>It has never been a direct competitor to GUI players like VLC and MPC-HC.
Honestly what do normies need from their video player? As long as the file association is setup I'm sure 99% of them would be fine with mpv.

The normies want 99% GPU usage in GPU-Z with their new $400 GPU, unfortunately mpv doesn't suit their needs.

What's the best and easy to install linux distro for mpv and more?

Haasn is using gentoo and it seems wm4 is using debian.
I tried the "original" installation ISOs and they didn't work.
Are there better or noob friendly install ISOs that work as well as manjaro or ubuntu ones. Is sabayon good or just a fucking garbage?

Probably the biggest thing that makes mpv unacceptable as a GUI player is that if it encounters an error or an unplayable file, it just writes a message to the (non-existent in pseudo-gui mode) terminal and quits.

Anyone know why auto-profiles can't load duration for most videos? Filename is always working but duration is nil on half of my files below 30seconds.

I wanted to create a profile that loops video files that are less than 5 seconds long.

Is there a way I can force only one instance of mpv on Windows?

e.g. when I double-click something it always opens a brand new mpv window. Any command line flags that will try to find an existing instance first?

Does this include GIFs? I don't think it's possible to know the duration of a GIF without reading it all in, so mpv might not know until all the GIF is in the demuxer cache.

Nope. On Linux this is done by launching a python script (umpv) instead of mpv. I don't think anything similar exists for Windows.

unlike mpv, mpc-hc is not autistic, has madVR support and just werks.

I'd never reccommend mpv to anybody.

What about the atrocious streaming support?
Mpc-hc is far behind mpv ...

Is it still needed to switch the display framerate?
github.com/kevinlekiller/mpv_scripts/tree/master/autospeedwin

could you screencap and make a side-by-side comparison?
I use ewa_lanczos on a gtx 765m without full utilization, and I'm sure ngu would completely choke on that hardware.

I need some genuine comparisons.

>not autistic
>supports a plugin for autist-level video quality
>has been the recommended video player on Sup Forums for years
>shilled relentlessly on Sup Forums
Very funny. The """non-autistic""" video players are QuickTime and Films & TV.

>I'm too incompetent to maintain my system and am not afraid to show it every freaking thread

That's a known shitposter, just dont respond filter it and move along.

>Be advised that the SMPlayer frontend is not supported.
>Fixing SMPlayer would amount to a rewrite, which is not very likely to happen. The problem is that mpv has diverged so much from the other members of the MPlayer family that it would be difficult to offer the same level of support for all of them in the same frontend.

Also, didn't found any archive but he said SMPlayer devs do shitty things like that and he was pretty familiar of how bad the code is
