Used these madvr settings for a long time with my gtx 970:- chroma: jinc with anti ringing
- upscale: lanczos (3) with anti ringing
- downscale: lanczos (3) with anti ringing
- doubling: super-xbr (100)
- enhancement: adaptive-sharpen
- refinement: super-res (3)
It crashes all the time so I tried mpv.
But default settings are very shitty, what's your configuration?

I tried this but it doesn't look like madvr.vo=opengl-hq:scale=ewa_lanczossharp:cscale=ewa_lanczossoft:scale-antiring=0.8:cscale-antiring=0.9:prescale=superxbr
I do not understand prescale very much, on madvr doubling is used only when upscaling.
What about mpv and its prescale feature, does it run even when there isn't any upscaling?
>>51990126
also I just changed framedrop=no to framedrop=vo and it seems smoother on long pans? who knows
>>51990161

Oh thanks, mpv has adaptive sharpen too.
There are two version in the mpv wiki, which is the best?
Why is it used as image enhancement (pre-upscaling) on madvr and as post-shaders in mpv?

Is there a good pre-scaler on mpv?

>Oh thanks, mpv has adaptive sharpen too.
Yup, updated every now and again.
https://gist.github.com/bjin/152a2f8bdf87d83261ac
Well, it is retarded to use sharpen before upscaling. You're introducing error and then amplifying it.
>>51990329
>Is there a good pre-scaler on mpv?
NNEDI3. Super xbr needs work still. However, I don't recommend it unless you have a 4k monitor or, at the very least, 1440p. Pre-scalers like NNEDI3_rpow, super-res and so on, upscale image by the power of 2, meaning that if the target resolution is smaller, you will have to downscale it as well, which is quite crappy.
>>51990368
How to apply prescale only if it needs 2x upscaling?
I do not understand prescale-downscaling-threshold...
>>51990161
No you're a fucking idiot PNG fanboy.
PNG is good for taking screenshots of your desktop, video usually contains lots of non-solid colors, including anime, so 99% of the time jpg would result in better quality to filesize ratio.
Learn how image codecs work fucktard before being an idiot on the internet.

What's the difference between mpv prescale and super sampling?

I have no idea, that sort of logic would be a great addition to mpv, assuming it hasn't already been implemented.
>>51990437

Most people don't care about filesize.
>>51990467
>Most people don't care about filesize.
Most people are also fucking idiots, including you. What's your point?
>>51990484
I will take 1% better quality for 40% the size.
You are in a thread where people, myself included, use placebo settings for a marginal quality boost, at the expense of CPU and GPU time, and you THINK people are going to agree with you here. Good luck.
>>51990368
Can you guys explain the process of using shaders on mpv?

>edit mpv conf

Something like this? What do I edit? What do I add? Do I have to compile the mpv from scratch?
>>51990525
Yup, you put there wherever you want and edit the path. Use my mpv.conf if you want >>51990213
~~ means it's inside the mpv folder.

I remember deband.glsl, are you using that?
If I want I want use that, I'd have to put it in shaders folder and then put :deband: right? If I want to use something else, its :somethingelse:?
Did I get this right?
>>51990597
>I remember deband.glsl, are you using that?
Yes, it's just deband now, so you don't have to put them in your shaders folder.
>>51990524
Filesize and CPU/GPU resource usage are two different things, as long as you don't hit the cap of your hardware it isn't really a problem, but with filesize generally the smaller you can get it the better, especially if your uploading them to the internet, the bigger it is, the longer it will take to upload, and the longer it will take for other people to download it, all because you're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand image codecs.
Don't be a fucking retard, use the appropriate codecs please.

Nobody?
Are there benefits to using mpv, when I don't have a dedicated graphics card?
This laptop of mine uses integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics.
mpv looks like a really cool player, but is it right for me?
>>51990557
Ironic that you would post anime but use sub kerning.

Where are the default key bindings for mpv?
sometimes pressing the same key does completely
different things depending on the video/instance
and I would like to know which keys are unbound
>>51991636man mpv
>>51991690
they really need a button which flashes up the keys for ease of use, nobody wants to read a manual in the middle of a movie

idk why but now I have performance increases for interpolation but why do you have such high gamma?
What's a good config for an iGPU? Using it on a laptop too so I don't want it sucking up a lot of power. MPC-HC at default settings with h/w decoding set to dxva native consumes about 1.5 watts. Anything that can get better quality at the same or less power draw?
I want to use xv for 60fps videos, but opengl for everything else. possible?
>>51993689
Not as far as I know. mpv decides all its settings before it loads the file, which is why you can have profiles based on the file extension, but not based on any properties of the video like the codec or the framerate. It's even harder to know the framerate for containers that support variable framerate video.
>>51992325
>idk why but now I have performance increases for interpolation
Where you on rgb32f or something? probably because the buffer holding the pixels is 2 times smaller, meaning better cache usage and locality, but also because the data the algorithms are working on are of smaller size, so less processing time.
>why do you have such high gamma?
So the such high saturation doesn't fuck everything, i wanted to bring out the colors much more without fucking the image, and upping the gamma fixes that.
>mpv for noobs
Total shitter here, i have no idea where to start with mpv on mac. Where do this settings go?
>>51994337
well, I realized all the 60fps videos I play are in mp4 or webm, so that works fine enough.
>>51994541
...that said, youtube-dl seems to serve straight h264, even if youtube-dl -F reports it to be mp4. that's a mighty problem.
>>51994518
~/.config/mpv
Is there a way for mpv to scale subs by the x-axis only, like it's possible in MPC-HC?
Increasing the font size doesn't do what I want as it also scales the y-axis of those, thus covering half the display if I want to get some readable size.
Also, even if increased it's still squeezed.

I see these alot but how does this accomplish anything without a color profile?
>>51996017
Actually, the former two settings only work without a colour profile. Setting them makes mpv assume those are the display's characteristics, kind of like a poor man's colour profile, so if you set target-trc=srgb, for example, it will assume your monitor is calibrated to sRGB gamma and convert the video's gamma to sRGB for output.
The latter has a small typo (it should be icc-profile-auto.) It automatically picks up the colour profile from the operating system (and the operating system, if it's smart enough, might pick up a colour profile from a database or the display's EDID.)
Doesn't the almost daily mpv threads got that 'high config' and the nnedi3 one?
