Is MPC-HC + madVR + LAVsplitters + LAVdecoders still the go-to method of watching animu today?
>>140781760
yes. unless you dont want to think then KCP
i mean i never used it but its similar right?
>>140781821
I guess.
Does madVR support 64bit version of MPC-HC now? I can't find any answer regarding that.
>>140781760
CCCP + VLC
Everyone else is trying to trick you. Do NOT fall for the MPC-HC meme.

Watch anime and be happy.
>>140781760
I just use KCP
>>140781760
No, mpv is superior
Anyways, if you're doing the MPC-HC way there's no need to install LAVfilters, they're already bundled with MPC-HC, you only need madVR
Never use codec packs, they're retarded and do everything wrong, specially CCCP, KCP isn't as bad but it isn't good
>>140781977
Explain in great detail why CCCP is bad.
>>140781760
Yeah, why not. I still do it. As long as you don't stream, it's fine.
>>140781760
Basically. MPC-HC with all the bells and whistles has identical quality as a properly configured mpv, but mpv is a bit lighter on the resources. It doesn't really matter all that much.
>>140781977
>>140782057
Does madVR support mpv? I don't see it on supported players list.
>>140782159
No, but mpv implemented their own algorithms that are more efficient than madVR. Hence it being lighter on resources.
>>140782020
>bunch of unnecessary/redundant splitters
>bunch of unnecessary/redundant codecs

>devs do fuck ups from time to time that wreck installs
There's literally no reason to use a codec pack in 2016, MPC-HC has bundled LAVfilters for years now
If you need some esoteric codec you would be much better installing it separately
>>140782159
madVR is a DirectShow renderer, mpv doesn't use DirectShow at all and has it's own renderers
>>140781977
arent codec packs the same individual shit just all bundled together?
I mean I agree that its better just to do it yourself, but they cant be that bad
>>140781760
xy-VSfilter + madVR + MPC-HC
thats it. thats all you need to have a good viewing experiencea good computer wouldnt hurt either
So basically the same setup as 5 years ago.
Are we stagnating? Or this is all we need in the end?
>>140781977
Do you need MadVR if you are using mpv? Or just for MPC?
All I do is use MPC-HC
Last codec pack I used was Matrosaki, but I think all features are bundlesd up now.
I might try this: >>140782300
but I've been very fond of using my shitty tv's player for big sexy animu.
>>140781977

In case you didn't realize, the internal LAV filters in MPC 1.7.10 are version 0.66.0 while the current release is at 0.68.0 right now. So there is some merit to installing it separately. MPC-HC hasn't been updating as frequently as when it used to be every 3 months.

>>140784271
>If you weren't being just as stupid as /g/ and jerking off all over your precious MPC you'd notice that they both have identical quality
We both agree that they produce the exact same quality.
We both agree that MPC uses more resources than mpv.
If two options have the same end result but one of them has a lower cost, why would you ever intentionally choose the one with the higher cost? It doesn't matter that you believe the difference in cost to be insignificant, you are still analyzing the information and concluding that the objectively worse option is the one that you should use.
If there was one steak and you could pay $25 or $30, how much would you choose to pay? Based on your responses thus far, it seems like you would choose the $30 option because the $25 option isn't good enough.
>>140787071
>no GUI
Where does this meme come from? See >>140784021
Also, I always find it hilarious that mpv supporters point out precisely what is wrong when complaining, while people using mpv as an excuse to shitpost always have extremely vague complains like "it's cancer" because they know that they can't come up with any legitimate complaints.
>>140787096
>If there was one steak and you could pay $25 or $30, how much would you choose to pay?
it's more like if there were two steaks that tasted equally good when cooked, but one required you to use some cooking method you likely had never used before which used less electricity/gas and time. the other steak can be traditionally cooked pan sear to oven or grilled. both are free but you can only pick one.
which do you pick? the one where you have to research the cooking method so you don't fuck up the steak, or one you're familiar with and can just get straight to cooking?
>>140787096
>If two options have the same end result but one of them has a lower cost, why would you ever intentionally choose the one with the higher cost?
But the whole point is that benchmarks mean jack shit when you have a non-toaster computer and are watching in full-screen anyway, your bullshit steak analogy is meaningless here. And even then performance improvement isn't so spectacular that it offsets the pain in the ass that is using mpv.
>>140787249
>implying that's enough options
see pic related for what is acceptable.
>vague complains like "it's cancer"
considering baka mp didn't use filters correctly or set as default properly and i was going to have to manually set it as default for a bunch of different filetypes, i think that constitutes cancer.
your whole argument rests on the fact that MPV looks the same as MPC/madVR, but when the filters don't work then it doesn't do that, does it?
>>140787249
Now try changing any setting from inside the player.

for one, you're using programming terminology like == instead of just =, so this tells me you're probably a "install gentoo" posting linux elitist.
second, because that is what you implied in your post.
">typing one line of text is somehow more troublesome than going into one million sub-menus searching for the correct option only to find it's not there
Winbabbies both baffle and amuse me."
that linux users wouldn't find closing the program, editing a setting in the conf file in muh emacs or vim, and starting it again (repeated ad nauseum) annoying or troubling. only "winbabbies" would find such a "trivial" thing an issue.
>It did both of those things just fine for me.
didn't work for me and i spent at least 2 weeks trying to get it to work. both MPV by itself and baka mp.
just keep in mind that using debian doesn't make you better than anyone else. computers aren't a secret club anymore and there really is no excuse for not having a GUI when there are plenty of resources that make it easy for you.

No one said it was hard, only that it was annoying. It's not hard to go copy paste settings from plebbit or the mpv general.
It's just ridiculously annoying and pretty much retarded that you can't edit those values from within the program in a GUI.
Why overcomplicate things?

Nah, just a programmer. I'm posting here from Windows 10 right now. Gentoo is shit unless you're using it as a basis to design a new OS.
>that is what you implied in your post
Different person, but I'll defend their statement anyway. Want to know how I would edit it? Alt+F4 to exit out of mpv, double click on the file mpv.conf to open it and make the change, then double click on the video to open it with mpv. I'm not sure why you're acting like this is some absurdly difficult task that must accomplish.
>emacs or vim
Only luddites still use those.
>i spent at least 2 weeks trying to get it to work
It has worked just fine for me on several different systems that I've set it up on. Do you not have proper drivers installed or something?
>there really is no excuse for not having a GUI
You really are stuck in the 80s, aren't you? Once again, most DE's on Linux are more polished than Windows. Try to find one thing that Windows could do that KDE couldn't do better.
>>140787960
>I'm not sure why you're acting like this is some absurdly difficult task that must accomplish.
it's not difficult. it's annoying.
in comparison i can just right-click in MPC and go to options to change whatever it is i want, then continue watching.
>>140787960
>Try to find one thing that Windows could do that KDE couldn't do better
Go 24 hours without freezing
mpv can now perfectly play that one typesetting intensive episode of Kaylith's ZnT on my 4k monitor. It used to perform much worse here than MPC+MadVR a year ago, so as far as I'm concerned mpv is ready for prime time. Or at least as soon as someone makes an idiot proof starter guide.
>>140788014
You seem to have that request reversed there, anon. KDE Plasma 5.6 is rock-solid in terms of stability while Windows gets more and more unstable every update.
Do the modern phones play animu like Coalgirls without problems?
S7 Edge with Snapdragon 820 for example?
>>140788061
My Samsung A5 can play 10bit 1080p without any framedrops
mpv© is better
>>140788004
>i can just right-click in MPC and go to options to change whatever it is i want
That's not how this works. If you can simplify away all of the actual effort involved, so can I; I can just edit the config then continue watching.
>>140788061
Yeah, you should be able to watch it just fine as long as the video player you're using has the correct codecs. The default video player will probably shit itself if it even thought about playing it, but something like MXPlayer or VLC will work.
>>140788059
Quit lying. KDE is still a broken buggy mess. I've tried it last week and it kept freezing while I was just using firefox. Maybe Windows 10 is worse, I wouldn't know because I'm still on Windows 7 precisely because I value stability .

>>140787401
Do you want to rice or just play video? If you just want video, you don't need any of these.
If you want to rice, you're better off learning this stuff anyway.
>>140788142
>That's not how this works. If you can simplify away all of the actual effort involved, so can I; I can just edit the config then continue watching.
yeah after you go to the manual and find out what setting you need because no one knows that shit off the top of their heads.
so for you it's more like
>close program
>go to MPV documentation site
>comb through to find what you need
>go back to text file
>edit in line of code you found from documentation
>save
>close
>start program again
in contrast in a program with a GUI you
>right click to options
>find setting that is clearly explained by name or tooltip
>toggle on/off/enter value/etc
>close options
>continue watching
now which do you think is more appealing?

>>140788236

mpv does that

consider that the average user never even opened a video player on his computer since they stream 100% of the time, and you will understand that that is ricing.
what you say makes sense for a generally tech-savvy person, but there is a reason why the deeper you go into tech, the more people start respecting text.
the average person will not touch any of mpv's settings, and for them, it works just fine out of the box - if anything, i really like that there's just no bullshit at all.
actually, i have to ask, what options do you need to change constantly to be annoyed by a lack of gui?
>>140788324
Are you the same guy that couldn't figure out how to edit a config file?
Real talk for a moment here, anon. When you are consistently having problems with software (or anything else, for that matter) that no one else is having, it's reasonable to conclude that you are the problem. More people would have this problem if the software was the cause of it.
>>140788366
>actually, i have to ask, what options do you need to change constantly to be annoyed by a lack of gui?
subtitles or view settings on videos/movies with black bars.
>>140788393

You're not seriously downloading encodes that have massive black bars on them, are you? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume that you're just stupid and don't understand how aspect ratios work.

This is true of most thing in life but not software. But I understand that it's easier for the devs to blame the user or someone else than trying to replicate and fix every bug especially when they work on huge understaffed projects like KDE. Which is why I mainly use Windows.

Is there a way to make MPV take screenshot on different format with different hotkey?
For example pressing F12 will take screenshot with .png format and pressing F11 will take screenshot on .jpg format
This is pretty much the only reason why I haven't switch to MPV yet
I just use mpv because it's lightweight and don't bother with changing the config. Learning curve is simple enough for simple commands like Enter for next file.

GUI config editor is something thats lacking in mpv, but its not necessary but rather a massive quality of life improvement.

>>140789327
I assume those bundles install filters that are unnecessary and don't actually do anything. That's why it works so well there is nothing really going on except MPC is playing a file for you.
MPC was a very good program in the late '10s, but is simply outclassed by the newest mediaplayers in terms of ease of use for basic users and complex settings for advanced users.
