What does mpv stand for and what's the best jack-of-all-trade music player?
Tyler Roberts
I don't know and probably not mpv, it works but there are far better options for Music
Henry Bennett
mpv works best as a backend for other music players. To treat library managers and music players as the same thing is setting yourself up for failure.
Levi Robinson
most paluable vlayer
Adrian Moore
I was unaware that mpv was used as a backend for anything related to Music
Jaxon Fisher
For audio? Only aimp.
Aiden Ward
Look into gMusicbrowser. Most of the library managers that use mpv as a backend can also use mplayer and are fundamentally just more flexible.
Wyatt Martinez

Interesting, thanks

I use mpv and youtube-dl to watch youtube videos with hardware acceleration. I can watch 1080p videos without my laptop fan turning on and saving over 50% CPU load.
Intel onboard can use vaapi. Nvidia can use vdpau. AMD can use either by using mesa.
Anyone know if bjin is working on any scalers right now? I only trust him with my anime.
Ayden Bailey
No. It was a summary of which cards use which video HW accelerator.
Intel onboard like I have uses VAAPI. Discrete Nvidia GPU uses VDPAU. Discrete AMD GPU using mesa driver can use either library VAAPI or VDPAU.
Jace Price
>Try to use hardware decoding for vp9 video >pic related happens What am I doing wrong here?
John Lewis
Using VP9. I'm fairly certain hardware decoding only supports H.264.
David Anderson
Eh nvm. Looks like it does work but people have all kinds of problems with it.
Jose Lopez
mpv plays videos
Zachary King
I'm getting tearing on fullscreen, winblows and amd gpu, is there anything I can do?
I don't have the luxury of booting into linux since I'm on the road.
Samuel Scott
Screen tearing on Windows? Now that's rare Try hardware acceleration
Dominic Campbell
ok that worked
I added this to the mpv.conf opengl-hq vaapi-copy
Zachary Gonzalez
lol
Robert Evans
Willing to donate to a project that replaces the flash video player in Showroom Live with MPV player. Perhaps with Showtoom Toolbox Chrome extension.
Ayden Williams
What's the best way to setup mpv so that it opens initially as a maximised window?
I'm on Windows and tried the script here github.com/kevinlekiller/mpv_scripts/tree/master/maximize but I can't seem to get it to work. Is there not a way to edit the .conf to achieve that? I can get it to open as a large window but I want it to fit properly on my desktop.
Landon Russell
add fullscreen to mpv.conf
Lincoln Foster
I meant so that the window of mpv fills the whole area above the taskbar, so a maximised window, rather than full screen, that's easy to do in .conf
Caleb Perry
hide taskbar then retard
Austin Walker
Shilling my script one last time, I've implemented about eveyrthing I wanted to and I consider it more of less mature
>filename previews Holy cow, that's just perfect. I you.
Ethan Anderson
based
Camden Johnson
At first I wanted to show the filename of every entry but it was a lot of noise and hard to get right, so I settled for just showing that of the selection. The positionning of the text is not perfect, it could be improved if/when AMM decide to release his text bounding-box code. Or I could try to recreate it myself of course.
Parker Barnes
For the delete function, it might be a better idea for it to behave like the way dired mode might, e.g. by marking the file (which could be delineated by a red outline) and then deleting marked files with another command (like "x," as in "execute"). Or you could even do it the way delete_file.lua does and refrain from deleting the file until *after* mpv closes.
Austin Johnson
There is no "real" delete, it just removes the entry from the playlist. It'd be nice to show which files are about to be deleted by delete_file.lua but cross-script communication is a bit of a pain. I'll consider the dired mode but I think I prefer something simple.
David Richardson
Why does my osc reset it's style whenever I open a video from the gallery? Is it normal for it to show the full path of the file instead of just the name of it? I am windows 10
Levi Hill
What do yo mean by reset its style? I do disable the osc when the gallery is open, but I reactivate when it exits. Is this about the *layout* of the osc? And whoops I didn't think of windows path, give me some time to cook up a fix.
Aiden King
>Is this about the *layout* of the osc?
Ayden Carter
hum weird, but what's weirder is the "drag file" thing is shown during the gallery. Are you using AMM's thumbnail script by any chance? Now that I think about it his patched osc might interfere.
David Wright
No, I do have an osc.lua config however
Jack Phillips
You mean a lua-settings/osc.conf? Please paste it if so.
>What does mpv stand for Dumbass Sup Forums meme. >what's the best jack-of-all-trade music player? Pic related, but get 3.0.0 (currently RC6) instead.
Asher Ortiz
Ah I see. There seems to be more robust ways of setting the osc visibility, I think I can fix it.
Zachary Howard
you're the dumbass here
Levi Lewis
It's literally install gentoo but for media players. It's stupid.
Parker Fisher
>compiling your OS is the same as adding a few lines in the config file You're stupid.
Ryan Howard
To confirm. you have osc=no in your mpv.conf?
Isaiah Stewart
I don't have have osc=no # OSC slight Configuration script-opts=osc-layout=slimbox,osc-deadzonesize=1,osc-hidetimeout=1000,osc-valign=0.60,osc-boxalpha=40,osc-seekbarkeyframes=no ghostbin.com/paste/zx3e6 - osc.lua
Mason Reed
For the non-autist, it basically is though.
Levi Martin
>in a technology-enthusiast site >insult regulars as "autists" because you don't understand technology
Adam Stewart
Ok I've pushed a couple of fixes for your issues, I wasn't able to test the windows paths so let me know if it's okay. The patched osc issue is fixed according to my testing.
Asher Jones
I understand technology better than just about everyone else in these shitty threads, like you.
That's why I use VLC, the superior media player.
Gavin Cruz
>I understand technology better than just about everyone else in these shitty threads, like you. No you don't >That's why I use VLC, the superior media player. This is why
Austin Sanders
The path and osc seem to be fixed, thanks.
Benjamin Cooper
VLC 3.0.0 is going to wipe the floor with every other media player - combined.
That's how good the nightlies are.
Hudson Howard
Cool, thanks for testing. The size of the text in the gallery is configurable through lua-settings/gallery.conf, the default is what works on my screen (see my webm).
Dylan Butler
I'm guessing they improved the midi playback on an application that is supposed to play videos. Enjoy you bilinear scaling, data moshing and washed-out colors.
Jaxon Jackson
>I'm guessing they improved the midi playback on an application that is supposed to play videos. It's actually supposed to play media, not videos. That's why it's a media player, not a video player. But for once you're sort of right - they fixed MIDI playback, which was completely broken for a long time. >Enjoy you bilinear scaling, data moshing and washed-out colors. Excepting one known driver issue with a trivial fix, it doesn't have any of that. So I won't get to "enjoy" it.
Jace Sullivan
>it doesn't have any of that lol, It's pretty obvious that you pretty much have no idea what you're talking about. >vlc doesn't have bilinear scaling gave me a hearty laff
Blake Morris
Some of you guys are alright, don't go to the mpv github repo tomorrow.
Josiah Robinson
does it do interpolation yet?
Jayden Howard
>There are people that actually believe in pic related.
Blake Wood
Yeah that works
Nathaniel Reed
This is more of a conceptual question than an mpv one.
If I am watching a video with 5.1 audio and I'm listening with headphones, is it considered "good practice" to append --audio-channels=stereo to the mpv command?
What I'm trying to ask is, if the source has 5.1 audio and I'm listening with stereo headphones, is it better to downmix to stereo or listen as-is?
Charles Jackson
Should work with some nvidia cards.
Jose Rogers
I just downloaded mpv but for some reason I can't get it to show any video/picture. It works great for sound though, is there a way to fix this or should I try downloading the 32 bit instead? I've tried it with mp4, mp3, webm, and iso.
Cooper Parker
But mp2 is a format
Logan Hill
pls respond
Brayden Mitchell
any bash command that will randomize a movie to play with mpv?
Daniel Jackson
mpv "$(ls | sort -R | head -n1)"
Oliver Long
It was run with mpv 0.27 and intel graphics 505 that comes with the Pentium N4200 under Fedora 27. Is there anything wrong with the setup or is the driver for vp9 decoding just plain buggy?
Hudson Mitchell
mpd is a lot better in that specific use case
Aaron Jackson
why mpv on fedora doesn't open files on sftp? I don't have this problem on ubuntu and recompiling is out of question
Hunter Russell
downmix unless your headset has some meme surround sound thing, and if so neck yourself
however some media like bds will have a separate stereo or headphone track and you should use that in that case
Benjamin Thompson
is your FFmpeg built with libssh support?
Jayden Rivera
that's exactly the problem, I just don't understand why, it's not like ssh is patented
Owen Carter
When compiling mpv from source, you can opt out for certain libraries
Brandon Thomas
Using 'cuda' or 'cuda-copy' prevents seeking.It seeks a few seconds then returns back to 0:00. Is there another setting to allow seeking?
Jackson Wilson
I just updated to the latest shinchiro build and whenever I start playback this bar and the current time appears. The bar used to only appear when I used the arrow keys to seek, but now it appears when I pause/play shit. Is there a way to just hide the current time and leave the bar for when seeking? Basically just make it go back to the way it was before this update. I looked through the manual and only found a way to just hide everything with osd-level, but I only want to hide the current time that appears.

What the FUCK, I have to read 200 fucking pages of garbage just to figure out how to play a damn video? Fuck this.
Sebastian Harris
What's the best video-sync option for interpolation? display-resample is giving me half-second pauses when I seek
Jackson Myers
Because Red Hat is garbage.
>recompiling is out of question Use mpv-build. It's not hard, and gives you a static build with an up-to-date ffmpeg and libass.
Try using nvdec instead.
Isaiah Myers
Display resample is the best.

mpv 0.28 is out right? Why isn't in in the normal Arch repos or the Manjaro repos? Reeeeee I want VULKAN NOW
Juan Ramirez
Compile it yourself or move to Windows where we've had Vulkan for months :^)
Isaiah Lewis
What's the current state of FPS interpolation in mpv? 30>60 interp that is, not the 3:2 judder alleviating interp.
Mason Harris
Because ffmpeg 3.5 hasn't been released yet, and it's a dependency of mpv 0.28.
Nolan Parker
>released software that is dependent on unreleased software what do freetards mean by this?
Mason Thomas
Vulkan is a meme anyway
Hudson Taylor
not as big of a meme as direct3d or opengl how do I configure mpv to bypass all these meme APIs?
Christian Gutierrez
So 0.28 released in a semi-broken state? For what purpose?
Charles Rivera
It can only do that out of the box with ffmpeg filter which is VERY slow.
Aaron Davis
so you don't want any graphics output at all? --no-video
