Ok so this might sound weird but what are some really nice stuff to have in your config that isn't related to video/audio/subtitles?
Like, quality-of-life stuff pretty much. Also what are some scripts that I should get?
Grayson Morales
But i did!
Adrian Adams
The problem isn't the video sync. It's that he's using Angle. Remove that shit and use regular OpenGL or DXInterop and his problems will go away.
Eli Perry
Wrong, angle is faster than other shit.
Grayson Adams
Wrong, it's slower and buggier on everything but Intel.
Benjamin Price
It depends
Cooper Gutierrez
Not really. AMD and Nvidia both work badly with Angle. Or at least they did 6 months ago when I last had GPUs from both of them to test on.
Sebastian Foster
Bullshit, it never worked badly on Nvidia.
John Evans
i'm too dumb to compile mpv myself. Which repo has the newest mpv?
Cameron Jones
sourceforge
Cooper Carter
how do I nstall porn on this
Brayden Ortiz

Carter Gray
How can I automatically play the next video in a folder? How can I force mpv to keep the same window size and position when playing another video until I quit it?
You either need a script for this or just drag multiple videos onto window.
Thomas Jones
how is mpcqt, does it just werk?
Christian Fisher
vlc user here, is mpv better? Never used it, and vlc just werks. is there any pro that it has to vlc? thanks
Landon Jones
Is there a recommended place somewhere where I can find pre-made scripts?
Justin Young
Is ravu dead? Is it because the retarded apple fags with terribly limited opengl? Damn! Since when did they stop watching shorty itunes mp4?
Parker Allen
yes, animu girls look 70% younger on mpv
Daniel Taylor
Why does everyone care so much about configs?
Isn't mpv defaults already optimized for most scenarios?
I really can't understand why someone would spend so much time tweaking every single configuration option instead of just using the default, tested, simple default.
Actually, I would go as far as defend the idea that there shouldn't be any config file. mpv should simplify itself and provide only 1 default that functions well and work from that. Less code, less bugs, more focus.
are they ever going to change the ugly ass logo? it's the most disgustingly ugly logo ever, even fucking vlc is better.
Jose Johnson
";" works for me on Win.
Cameron Brown
wrong folder
Angel Hall
You're right for the most part. mpv devs actually care about the defaults, so most options will be set to what the devs think are the best settings. The exceptions are options that are a trade-off between quality and performance or compatibility. For example, mpv uses bilinear scaling by default, which is not particularly good looking, but much faster than the other scalers on shitty integrated GPUs. If you set profile=opengl-hq, it will change a bunch of options to less-well-performing, less-compatible, but better-looking values, but even then, it won't enable things like the EWA scalers, because most people can't tell the difference between them and spline36, they need a lot more computing power, and when you get to high-quality scalers like that, things actually get pretty subjective, so it's hard to pick a default (eg. do you pick ewa_lanczossharp or ewa_lanczossoft?).
Jack Wood
Is there a good picture to ass converter?
Asher Price
Maybe. I've heard some devs complain about the logo on IRC, so it's possible. The current logo definitely looks outdated. It was clearly made to fit in with trends in OS X app logos at the time, with the grain texture and faux-3d highlights.
Nicholas Baker
I wish there was a profile opengl-vhq or something for maximum placebo ;___;
I wouldn't mind one though, if it had stuff like scale=ewa_lanczos and video-sync=display-resample in it.
Isaiah Davis
Hope they will not fall for the flat or material design memes!
Grayson Jenkins
That explains a bit, thank you. I'll just keep using the default. I trust the developers to options that are the best trade-off. If I had a really powerful computer I could look into other options for worse performance / better quality. But in a limited notebook... let's keep things as they are.
I still think there are far too many people who care about config options that would be much better by keeping the defaults. Fuck, there are clueless users copying config options around without even knowing what they do.
Guys... just calm down and keep it easy. Install mpv and watch videos. How hard is that? In most cases you don't need (or should) touch anything, right? Unless you have a really powerful computer and want to marginally increase the quality. In that case you add 1 or 2 config options. No need to go crazy over it.
Jack Torres
>Core mpv functionality can be extended with Lua scripts. All scripts from ~/.config/mpv/scripts/ directory are loaded automatically from the wiki They also mention Several Lua scripts are shipped with mpv and installed into /usr/share/mpv/lua/ directory. Created mpv\lua and put the script in there, still doesn't work.
It's supposed to make you able to play the next or previous file in a folder. The other scripts work.
Mason Scott
mpv is better
Christopher James
start mpv from the commandline, specify a folder name, and it will load it as a playlist
Parker Jenkins
Works just fine for me. Latest shinchiro build Win7.
Elijah Morales
It works with pageup on the keyboard. I was trying to use the next/previous file on the OSD. Anyway to make it work for those?
Brayden Allen
What no, the current devs (and me, as a user) like the logo. There was uncertainty about the logo's license and that was the reason they talked a few times about a new one. However, they managed to contact the creator and now everything is fine.
The logo is great, go fuck yourself for your shit taste.
Zachary Taylor
Yeah, there was some uncertainty with the licence, but I remember someone proposed a solution to replace the logo with a more modern-looking one. It hasn't come up again as far as I know because the licence situation was resolved.
If I'm being honest, I really dislike the logo. It's a weird faux-3d thing, but it's not a 3d object that exists in real life. It's like a weird disc with a wonky misshapen tube on it. Also, while the rest of the logo is 3d, the play symbol in the middle has no definition of its own, even though it should be the focal point.
Noah Gray
So I've been using MPV (on linux) for a few years now but never got around to configuring it. I have a bunch of questions.
I'm on an Nvidia card so obviously I'd want to enable hardware acceleration, should I use VDPAU or Cuda? I'm getting the vibe that Cuda hwdec is fairly new and mainly used for 10bit??
Is profile=opengl-hq better than hwdec=vdpau with vo=vdpau?
Is vdpaupp (vdpau post processing) worth configuring?
Are there any worthwhile shaders out there? If so, link to glsl?
How far along is Vulkan and are there any benefits in using it?
Anything else you guys recommend?
Samuel Gonzalez
Imported those opengl-shaders: opengl-shaders="~~/shaders/FSRCNN_24_4_4_ssim.glsl" opengl-shaders="~~/shaders/KrigBilateral.glsl,~~/shaders/SSimDownscaler.glsl,~~/shaders/SSimSuperRes.glsl" Which in turn gives me this: [vo/opengl] Unrecognized command 'DESC KrigBilateral Downscaling Y pass 1'! [vo/opengl] Unrecognized command 'DESC SSimDownscaler Variance I'! [vo/opengl] Unrecognized command 'DESC SSSR I Downscaling I'! I guess I am using old version of mpv, aren't I?
Justin Long
I dont know what the fuck shaders or vulkans are but my config only has a few lines mostly shit for mouse timeout and moving the bar to the bottom. Everything works just fine and I dont see any issues with the videos.
Can someone explain what all of this extra ricing is about and put simply what difference some of this stuff will ACTUALLY make
Ryan Kelly
How do I load lua files on Windows?
I need it so it can load the next video in the folder.
Nathan Smith
>but I remember someone proposed a solution to replace the logo with a more modern-looking one. It Multiple people, actually. However, I can't remember a single one that was not hated.
Asher Ramirez
put the bar at the bottom
layout=bottombar seekbarstyle=bar
Juan Powell
>I'm on an Nvidia card so obviously I'd want to enable hardware acceleration, should I use VDPAU or Cuda? I'm getting the vibe that Cuda hwdec is fairly new and mainly used for 10bit?? I think Cuda is the newer one. Apparently Nvidia is letting their VDPAU library stagnate, so Cuda might be more usable, especially for newer formats like 10-bit HEVC. (I don't have Nvidia so I don't know for sure.) Don't feel obliged to use hardware decoding though. It's not always faster, especially with a desktop CPU.
>Is profile=opengl-hq better than hwdec=vdpau with vo=vdpau? Yep. profile=opengl-hq and vo=opengl are recommended if you can run them. hwdec=vdpau and hwdec=cuda both work with vo=opengl and use GPU-to-GPU copying (whereas the *-copy hwdecs work with any VO and copy through the CPU.)
>Is vdpaupp (vdpau post processing) worth configuring? Only if you want hardware-accelerated deinterlacing, and be careful because it might hurt video quality and colour accuracy.
>How far along is Vulkan and are there any benefits in using it? Not very far along. It will be a long time before the quality is as good as opengl. Possible future benefits include performance improvements because some operations can be made asynchronous.
Cooper Lee
you put it in the fucking scripts folder
Hudson Sanchez
Since there's no script folder it's not just "put it in the fucking" folder.
Luis Barnes
And making a scripts folder didn't help.
Thomas Nguyen
>TFW mpv on it's beta release opens files faster then VLC on FUCKING Android despite VLC having numerous updates.
Is there magic sauce on this thing.
Joshua Bailey
yes look at this old comparison for example (default is VLC like quality) diff.pics/Nn01jOszfAMq/1
Nolan Watson
Why the fuck are you asking such a simple question? It's obviously super easy, you just have to type 0=&%2%2%2!"4qn4_//QL#M&%745sn5-##80ei9w9##v3vopb4e__code__y5djcvlkdse54b90n7zoey¤(&/Q#544ehn7ne09)=.//_sb5erio7uklr in the stuff--- code--- //6aqzxedcrfgvb54yhmu789ppihe so that #¤%&/MN loads the B&W#%¤SR)(IYBGH)`?!%# by removing the ¤SR you get it to work with -##80ei9w9##
God! Why can't people learn these things that isn't in the guide when it's so easy?
Elijah Perez
try putting this in mpv.conf, maybe it'll help load-scripts=yes
Landon Diaz
Sorry, didn't load the autoload.lua that I put in MPV\scripts\
Christopher Walker
You need to create a sripts folder in the mpv directory. The play next file script works but only if you use the keyboard shortcuts (pagup - pagedown). I was confused as well since the skip buttons on the OSD didn't work.
Elijah Reyes
The scripts folder is in the mpv directory as seen.
How is your mpv.conf written to load the lua?
Levi Myers
You don't need to do anything to the mpv.conf it loads the scripts automatically when inside that folder. Make sure you have fileextensions turned on and that it's not .txt
Adrian Torres
It's lua as you see in the image and as you can see I don't hide extensions on files.
Now I just have to rebind this so it works with PGUP and PGDN
I'll post it if I get it working so others with similar problems can try.
Dylan Jenkins
you know autoload automatically loads the next file in the folder after the current one has finished, right?
Sebastian Hill
That's the thing, it didn't once the video was over. I loaded the videos over and over seconds before it ended, let it play to the last second, nothing.
Dominic Parker
Weird, for me autoload works with pageup by default.
Leo Gonzalez
Yeah. How does your bind looks like in input.conf because for me it was PGUP add chapter -1.
Adam Adams
Same as yours, copied from the mpc-hc config PGUP playlist-next; write-watch-later-config #Skip to next file
I just added adjusting volume with mousescroll AXIS_UP add volume 1 AXIS_DOWN add volume -1 Should be the default desu
and a rightclick menu that only works on linux ;_;
Michael Gomez
I think windows might read it a different way then. since adding PGUP playlist-next to the input.conf doesn't change file
Noah Watson
>switched to mpv yesterday >already miss ngu so much
Anthony Cooper
If I drag all videos into the player it jumps between files but still not doing it when opening a single video so it's still not loading it in the way MPC does that can load videos in the same directory.
If you drag multiple files manually it's going to create a playlist, so that's normal, what autoload does is make a playlist out of files in the directory automatically. Still I don't know why it won't work for you, it works on my windows.
Oliver Miller
I vaguely remember someone decompiling MadVR to grab the NGU glsl file a few weeks ago. Was anyone ever able to get that working?
I switched from madvr too. I dont miss NGU. I find nnedi3 to be better than NGU with low res anime. I use SSSR with 720p videos and Krigbilateral with native res videos. SSIM for downscaling. I get better colors than in mpc-hc too.
Brody Stewart
I think I had a portable version as well because MPV didn't make stuff into %APPDATA for me.
