How do I watch anime in 60fps with this?
Daily reminder that mpv's lead dev has been hired by a Jewish-run company called Plex to put a botnet into mpv.
Is there a way to make mpv sort screenshots into folders based on filename of the video you're watching?
For example, doing this in the config doesn't work. It seems mpv by itself refuses to create folders.screenshot-template="~/mpv/%F/mpv_%F_[%wH.%wM.%wS,%wT]"
I'm sure it's possible via lua, but I don't know anything about lua.
>>52207485
Question: doesn't anime look bad with interpolation?
I remember turning off smooth motion when watching Studio Ghibli stuff, both the old ones, as well as that newer one with the world war planes.
It felt like a lot of things there were meant to be a slideshow.
For anything else I can barely live without smooth motion, interpolation, things like that.
So I'm trying to get hardware decoding working and am using:
vo=opengl-hq
hwdec=vdpau
but when I play something in mpv I just get the message:
>Using software decoding.
But no error indicating that vdpau failed to be detected etc, it just won't use hardware decoding despite the fact that vdpau exists and I can check using vdpauinfo.
I'm using Baka MPlayer and can't get Nnedi3 to work. Baka MPlayer seems to require that you word things slightly differently, but it should still do the same thing. Problem is that it's doing literally nothing. Am I just retarded? Will I just not get an answer because no one uses forks in these threads?"backend": "dxinterop",

It doesn't matter if he, you or me can read it. Some nerd will, and always does.
>>52207485
Why would you want to watch in 60fps something that's made in ~8fps?
>>52205580
What's different in this rorgoroth build? Is that something like mpvhq?
>>52209190
mpv isn't a hard project to understand. It's only 100,000 lines of code, compared to MPC-HC's 300,000, VLC's 600,000 and FFmpeg's 1,000,000. It's really simple as far as software goes and it's actually feasible that a lone nerd could become familiar with the whole codebase and be reasonably certain that it doesn't do anything underhanded. mpv gets new contributors all the time, and the whole codebase changes pretty regularly, so it would be a pretty wide-reaching conspiracy if mpv did anything underhanded or made any sort of development decision that benefited Plex over mpv's users and no one sounded the alarm. I'd be more concerned about FFmpeg if I were you. It actually has multiple Plex employees as contributors and it's even had contributions from Google.
>>52209332
It's updated more regularly, but it's not official.
>>52205580
OP, will you ever update your pasta?
Its so shit and wrong I want to throw up.
Actually, are there any good ips panels that support 24hz mode and aren't TVs?
New version of Bomi never?
Why is baka mplayer so shitty?
Any other alternatives?
Not having a gui is really embarrassing.
Is there any way I can bookmark certain positions? I like to rewatch scenes.

>>52210485
So you're implying that we shouldn't give a fuck about playback quality because it's 2016?
>>52210544
quality is more than acceptable by default in pretty much any player. these threads are for autists that will -never- be satisfied
>>52209389

>>52205580
Again, OP. Please write clearly that those configurations are for Windows only, because a lot of newcomers might take it wrong and think those go for OS X and GNU/Linux as well.

Any way to make mpv play the next file in a directory like MPC can?
Sometimes I find I opened episode 8 instead of episode 9 because I didn't remember exactly what episode I left off at. It would be handy to just be able to hit a key to make mpv navigate to the next file in the directory instead of closing it and opening another instance. Also could be handy for binge watching if you can toggle the default behavior to play next file rather than close mpv at the end of a file.
>>52212571
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/lua/autoload.lua
>>52212682
So I put this lua file in my mpv directory and then presumably add a line mpv.conf pointing to it?
>>52212728
No, create directory named scripts in mpv config directory, put .lua file there and it's done.
>>52212788
Alright, thanks for the help.
>>52205580
where do I put those configs?
At the bottom of /etc/mpv/encoding-profiles.conf?
What's the best setting for hwdec, just leave it as auto?
>>52205580
Why do none of these configurations have interpolation turned on, is there some reason not to use it?
Is there a script for a more minimal control bar?
>>52214073
usually ~/.config/mpv/config
>>52214073
create a mpv.conf in /etc/mpv/ probably

>>52214073

I recommend using Chocolately for installing and updating. Use the mpv.install option

Been using mpv out of the box for some weeks in my laptop and i love it.
I have a Nvidia GeForce 940 which is not that great, can it take the High configs or should i go with the basic configuration in the op?
Also, how do i force mpv to use the Nvidia card instead of the integrated intel chipset?
I'm on windows btw.
Thanks in advance.
>>52223463
>Nvidia GeForce 940

>>52223463
How about you try it and report back yourself big guy.
It's not going to fry your computer
It took me longer to reply to you than it'd have taken for you to do it yourself already
>>52223487
i did
the audio stutters around once or twice per 10 mins or so, but overall looks good, however i don't know if it's using the integrated graphics or the nvidia card.
>>52223411
On my AMD system, mpv drops frames nonstop.
On my Nvidia system, mpv hardly drop frames.
>AMD driver quality
Playing some random DVD:
mpv: 10% CPU, 87 MB
MPC-HC + madvr: 7% CPU, 115 MB
I can't really see any difference in quality and the performance seems to be comparable.
madvr switch to fullscreen mode is painfully slow though so I prefer using mpv.
>>52223463
stick with basic configs and intel graphics unless you're plugged into a large tv
>>52223630
on my 290x and intel hd 4400 mpv performs and looks better on both
guess you're retarded
>>52216920
>>52216732
thanks guys
>>52223601
Use--msg-level=vo=v
and look for the line GL_RENDERER
>>52223463 >>52223479 here
Nvidia is fucked up beyond my worst expectations and wouldn't let me to set the Graphics card for mpv in the control panel, or when i successfully set things up, the settings wouldn't be saved when i closed the control panel, so i renamed mpv.exe for something else (Cryisis.exe lel) and now it works and saves the configuration to use the card instead the integrated chip, you just have to set again your mkv files to the new pathway but i think that's it.
Man, fuck nvidia.
>>52223630
>AMD driver quality
Nah, PEBKAC.
>>52224071
Considering it drop frames with default settings and the latest drivers.
It probably is the driver or mpv itself fucking up.
>>52205580
I'm trying to use the High configuration for mpv, but every time I play a video, I get a message saying that everything after 'vo=opengl-hq' couldn't be parsed. Why is this?
How do I specify a window size for every video I open?
>>52218712
No idea, he seems like a massive retard

>>52205580
Also superxbr is shit. It's only good for anime.
What is a good config to save battery life on a laptop with only an i5-5200U? I heard to use vaapi but it is depreciated.
How do I install .lua scripts on windows?
I'm pretty sure .config is a unix folder or I just can't find it.
>>52225832
portable_config\scripts
>>52225832
Make a directory called `scripts` in the directory where mpv.exe is and put them inside there.
>>52225819
It's okay to use --hwdec=vaapi on Intel graphics, just not on Nvidia. If you don't want to worry about which hwdec is cool, you can use --hwdec=auto, which should pick vaapi on Intel Linux systems.
What's the best possible vo option I can use on a ThinkPad x220 (Intel hd3000) without performance loss?
Why is it that it seems like I can't change the config with Baka MPlayer? It says you can do everything that MPV does, but nothing I change is actually changing anything. Am I just too dumb to figure this out?

>>52232582
No you are right but the devs allowed legacy support through ffmpeg. But the option needs to be enabled, idk if it is something with ffmpeg or, mpv. The syntax would look something like this.mpv --af=lavfi=[bs2b=profile=jmeier] video.mkv
>>52230133
In the bin it goes then. Do you have a config you could recommend?
>>52230939
>>52231373
Ah I've been wanting to do this for a long time but I'm shit at lua and mpv scripting in general.
So basically the idea is you want to make a script that will read the titles of the audio/subtitle tracks and then logically pick the subtitles based on the audio. For example, if you open a file and it plays english audio (based on your preferences in your config) you want the script to disable all subtitles.
You could even take it further and make some logic based config file for the script, which can do more than what mpv normally does. For example you let the script choose the default audio/subtitles based on its own logic, and not the defaults in mpv.conf.
Like I said I've been working on this but it's mostly trial and error with different mpv properties. And also I don't really know lua.
How do I get the mpv bottombar to show TOTAL TIME instead of Remaining time BY DEFAULT?
>>52236097
>How do I get the mpv bottombar to show TOTAL TIME instead of Remaining time BY DEFAULT?
ah nevermind:
script-opts=osc-layout=bottombar,osc-seekbarstyle=bar,osc-timetotal=yes
>>52234984
Depends on your computer, depends on your taste, depends on what you want.
The problem with the old one is that there was a damn lot of deprecated stuff, stuff that got reused, stuff that wasn't useful. It was long, dirty, incompatible. It was a Frankenstein's Monster of old and new.
While this is just an example, there's probably a million ways to get more placebo out of this. Like using some sort of script that interacts with xrandr on GNU/Linux to interpolate instead of using the built-in interpolation that mpv has. So here's one that has quite some placebo:
http://pastebin.com/cQY5FDZ3
Feel free to paste your OSD, subs and screenshot settings from the old one. Also add whatever else you need. Many of the "other" settings works too. Don't forget, if you wonder what a setting does, it is extremely well documented here: https://mpv.io/manual/master/
If you're unsure on ANY setting I just posted, look it up and see if you want that. I've commented what most does in short terms, but to get a better understanding search it up in the manual and it'll automatically tell you all the details.
Again, this is just an example. Not "objectively the best" or anything like that.
>>52236406
Thank you so much, this is so much more organized that what I had before. I'll checkout the docs before I put it in, however just wondering why did you choose to disable vdpau?
>>52236527
In case you didn't use GNU/Linux. vdpau is Linux only.
Hey guys, a little while ago I made a little script to keep track of what I'm watching.
https://github.com/bananarang/MPV-Last-Watched
First time working with lua, and the code quality is pretty bad, but it's been working for me. (On linux.)
It puts a text file in the directory when mpv runs, with the series title, and then the episode number,along with how far in the MPV got.
Mostly just works with anime naming conventions, american series tend to include the episode name in the file name, which will make it not work as well.
Main reason I use it is so that if I come back to a series after a few days, I remember where I was, thought it might be useful.
>>52236911
Don't worry, 100% Arch, thanks!
I feel like 60% of the scripts you guys like are just included by default in Baka MPlayer.
>>52224138
How old is the AMD card? AMD is much better at video anything on Windows purely due to raw performance
>>52219369
Not him but... what about the plugins? (like this one >>52216997)
Where do i put them?
I tried creating a folder named "scripts" on %APPDATA%\mpv\ but it doesnt seem to work.
>>52236954
mpv already does that?
>>52241813
IT keeps track of a file that you already opened, but it doesn't keep track of episodes in a series, just per file settings, this is a bit more involved than that.
