I'm glad mpv is finally getting a GUI

Maybe mpv will finally be used by more people than weebs.

What if I just don't update mpv?

It's not like they're adding or fixing anything important anyway. My playback is already perfect, all my formats are supported, what do I even need?

speed improvements? better rendering?
bug fixes?

>better rendering
What better rendering?
>speed improvements
Already playing back 4k breezy.
>bug fixes
When I encounter a bug, I'll let you know.

My point is that you're not losing anything by updating, there's no reason not to (other than being lazy).

you're not gaining anything by updating, there's no reason to do it.

I don't want bloat.

Interesting mpv changes since 0.28.0:
- Huge Vulkan improvements and refactoring, including async transfer and compute. You might not think you need performance or efficiency enhancements, but they always help if you're multitasking, and they they help with battery life on laptops.
- Workaround for the x264 4:4:4 bug. You will probably encounter files that appear broken without this fix.
- Improvements to the demuxer cache, which mean you can now see cache ranges in the seek-bar on the OSC
- Stability improvements for HTTP streaming
- General updates to the youtube-dl hook. Some streaming sites might break without these fixes.
- Rudimentary support for UHD dumps
- Improvements and refactoring to HDR peak detection, which is now enabled by default and gives noticeably better results for HDR content

And other things, plus a ton of refactoring which will probably support future improvements. The problem is, a video player is a moving target because it always has to play the latest memes that the industry is shitting out, like HDR video, UHD discs and new streaming protocols. There will always be room for valid improvements to mpv because it always has to play modern video.

Not a single fuck.

God I love the devs

mpv 0.29 stable when

>>Maybe mpv will finally be used by more people
yeah, because that alwasy leads to better things right?

Probably not before FFmpeg 3.5 is released. Most people don't even have mpv 0.28.0 yet.

>Fuck the "MUH GUI" brainlets
this

as soon as normans get into mpv, mpv will die. normans destroy everything.

>Maybe mpv will finally be used by more people than weebs.

>Maybe mpv will finally be used by more people than weebs.
how is that good?

Fuck off normalfags

profile=opengl-hq/gpu-hq does it work at all? because I honestly don't see any difference

>because I honestly don't see any difference
don't use it then (seriously)

mpv is free as in freedom. If you don't like it, fork it.

>fork it
>mpv cash

The only thing that keeps me on MPC is the Blusky/AMD Fluid Motion compatibility.

Is there a way to frame interpolate using the GPU in mpv?

>imgur.com/a/xB3Cy
so I'm blind or what?

lol

put them in tabs next to each other

the middle one is the smoothest, but actually it distorts the image

the other ones are blockier, but are more faithful to the image

I switched to stable when they made some ffmpeg-mpv fork and required that for their build.

It's not like there's any real difference besides meme shader and vulkan support.

how's vulank support on windows?

>implying weebs use this garbage "command line" player
MPC-HC + madVR has always been the Sup Forums master race.

same

wrong

>source: my ass

Is this thread satire?

>meme player virgin

>arch repo mpv is outdated because repo ffmpeg is outdated
>can't use mpv-git
>mpv-build-git now fails to build
>if I use ffmpeg-git, every package depending on ffmpeg breaks

i have conversely

not a very good idea to do comparisons with JPEG screenshots

can somebody explain what prescalers are to a brainlet?

Does the mpv-web script work on OS X?

I've placed the .lua script in my scripts folder but the webm fails to encode

>using mpv
>not ffplay
Top plebs. You cannot beat the bloat-free ffplay interface and keyboard controls.

I couldn't figure out how to make it work with display scaling since it shits the bed if you don't have a poverty-tier low dpi screen

What version are you using? mine is from september, doesn't look like there is any noticeable issue with scaling though.
There is the issue with subtitles on the other hand, even though I wouldn't exclude it could be unrelated to ffplay, since it doesn't report any errors about subs in console and even lists the subs filename and format correctly.

>finally put in effort to bulid mpv
>no sound or ytdl
just fuck my shit up

CCCP has always been Sup Forums's choice, yes I know, they're fucking retarded.

What if mpv is actually showing the correct gamma and MPC-HC is fucking things up?
Is your monitor calibrated to correctly judge picture differences between players?

How much time until chromecast support?
VLC already has it

VLC also has shitty HDR support so fuck off.

github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/5456

Does anyone know how to trigger HDR on a TV using MPV ?
The colors all look washed out and it doesn't activate on my TV.

You can't...

At least half of Sup Forums uses mpv.

Is your tv hdr?
If yes use this lines in your conf file:
target-prim=bt.2020
target-trc=auto
You also have to tweak some settings in your GPUs driver.

Do you know it's automatic with madVR?

Your TV is not HDR.

I use MPV because using the CLI makes me a hacker like hackerman. Also, everyone in my vape club uses MPV while drinking PBR and wearing a fedora.

Yes my TV is HDR, and I can play HDR content fine from other sources.
I'll try the config lines when I get back home, thanks.

Are you on the newest version? Windows?

I'm on the lastest build and I am on Windows 10 (latest version too I guess).

where do I find a list of mpv_options to add in when I build it? sorry I'm new just switched from windows to debian

>CCCP has always been Sup Forums's choice
Maybe five fucking years ago.
No one recommends or uses that now.

Looks to me like you chose an output renderer for mpv that uses vmr9 which is the reason for the limited color range problem in VLC, or you set the color range yourself.
Point is it's a configuration issue. You can configure mpc-hc the same, not that you'd want to.

I downloaded the autoload.lua file. I want to make mpv play the next file in the current file's directory when I press skip to next or previous file. I'm not sure where to put this file so that mpv will behave liks this automatically. On windows.

Load the entire directory. Drag the folder into mpv or open it from the terminal.

But I'm too lazy to drag the entire directory in.

I don't use madvr so I really can't tell you.

How does mpv-qt compare to mpc-hc?

make a folder called scripts in the same place as mpv.exe

does mpv stand for
mpv
plays
videos
?

more
pretentious
vullshit

Are you against config files?

Yes, I'm a contrarian.

Doesn't work?

>sissy anime faggot
>Fuck the "MUH GUI" brainlets, Edition
truly the tranny player

Anime is for manly men.

I can smell your fat hairy ass from over here

HOW DO I ADD USERSCRIPTS?

mpv.io/manual/master/#files-~/-config/mpv/scripts/

it's basically mpv with with an mpc skin

speak for yourself kyodai

Can anybody help me set this thing up?

>addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/
>It works with any program, not just browsers.
I want to be able to open videos and stream links from context menu, just don't know what I'd put to have MPV open the linls.

Putting the MPV.exe filepath doesn't work.

O-Oh thanks. How does mpv compare to mpc-hc?

mpv.io/manual/stable/#files-on-windows

Just downloaded MPV an hour ago. I was trying to find out which of the frontends were more popular, but what's this about GUIs? Is there confirmation of an upcoming GUI update? plsnobully

github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/5500

Thank you

Actually it looks like it works, it's just that I can only link the video itself.

Is there any way to set this up with video torrents opening in MPV or something?

Isn't vlc the best player ?

Oniichan, why doesn't mpv have a built-in, finely-tuned, optimized, anime preset? Why do we have to copy/paste bullshit settings from boards to have a decent anime rendering? Why can't mpv devs provide us with a quality, blur-free, preset?

>--preset=default
>preset options are anime, film, flicks, television, live, 3dcg, default

Why are you so retarded?

Doesn't work.

LOL

Plex already exists for those people

Vanilla MPC-HC can do appropriate color management ootb, you just have to enable it, mpv does proper color management if you enable it
But neither does ootb so they show the same image color-wise, that's a troll picture made with mpv's gamma thing that's easy to access since it's keybinded to some number key ootb

More like 10 years ago, there's plenty of people still using CCCP thanks to reddit or because they installed it 8 years ago and still werks
They moved to KCP like in 2011, then people moved to the MPC-HC+madVR+LAVFilters+xysubfilter+reclock, sometime around 2015 consensus broke but most of Sup Forums shits on codec packs and VLC, they do have plenty of mpv users

>Fuck the "MUH GUI" brainlets
tedious=intellectual?
tightening bolts must take all brain power in the world then

It's not, you gotta enable it on the monitor menu that madVR has for each of your monitors
None of those sources can be boiled down to a single preset if you're looking for sharpeners/fixing broadcast issues/etc.
The gpu-hq preset it's pretty much the best you can do for any of those sources
Searching the manual for what you want and writing a few small one liners isn't tedious

>one of those sources can be boiled down to a single preset if you're looking for sharpeners/fixing broadcast issues/etc.
bullshit. madVR still upscales anime better on my computer.

Perhaps on the shows you're currently watching, but there's plenty of shows that will look worse with whatever config you're using, unless you're one of those retards that love the oil filter/awarpsharp look
