Fucking finally. Thank you based OP.
There's one problem though, display-sync probably shouldn't be in the low quality config. My laptop is too slow for interpolation and display-resample. If you can't do opengl-hq, you probably can't do display-sync.
>>52247465
What is your gpu?
My $200 netbook with its shitty amd apu can run interpolation flawlessly.
>>52247465
This. Interpolation and video-sync should be removed from low quality config.

Even mpc-hc get out nightly faster than this. I'll stick with that, at least they have an installer.
>>52247533
Those are release builds, not nightlies. Unofficial nightlies are on https://bitbucket.org/rorgoroth/mpv-for-windows/downloads

>>52247555

>>52247515
Even with opengl? What's your operating system?
I made my tests with my netbook on archlinux and with a 1080p display monitor.
>>52247571
I'm using Debian testing with Cinnamon. The laptop has a 3200x1800 panel, which might be the problem, but I'm also not surprised that an APU outperforms HD Graphics.
>>52247555
Well that's slightly confusing but thanks, much better.
>>52247417
You should add link to mpv html manual in future OP's
>>52247568
I don't know but I don't think they do.
ANGLE is a bit of a bitch to compile under mingw-w64, and it's worse if you want a static build, so I'm not surprised that no one's done it yet. To make things even worse, Google have probably broken ANGLE under mingw-w64 again with the most recent commit (mingw-w64 is missing dcomp.h.) That said, a ANGLE-supporting mpv is probably coming to the MSYS2 repos soon™.

>video-sync=display-resample
This ruins my videos, makes it look like 5 FPS most of the time.
>>52247956
don't use this on potato
>>52247417
interpolation is pretty heavy. I would rather use vo=opengl-hq:no-deband on a slow GPU. It's 2x faster than your low quality config.
>>52248016
...but its not a potato and without it everything runs fine 60fps video with opengl-hq.
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.
>>52248026
what are specs?
>>52247515
I'm surprised an HD4400 can't handle that. My HD3000 can handle interpolating 720p 10bit content at 1600x900 resolution (granted that's 1/4 pixels, but still).
mpv is shit
>>52249116
Maybe, but it's the best player available.
This is not perfect but nothing else do something better than it. It's fully opensource and runs very well on any modern desktop operating system.

Try disabling hardware decoding,hwdec=no
It was dropping frames before I made this change.
>>52251154
hwdec is disabled by default you fucking retard.
>>52251259
No reason to be so hostile senpai
I'm really curious about something. Are there any plans in mpv to support adaptive sync solutions, as in FreeSync and/or GSync? Those seem like a godsend to proper video playback, no judder whatsoever no matter the frame rate.
Do either of those even work on Linux in the first place?
>>52251401
They work already.
>>Do either of those even work on Linux in the first place?
No are you fucking dumb?
>>52251154
Didn't make much difference other than >doubling cpu and kicking the fan on.
Is it because I'm on Windows? Without that line it plays smooth as silk 60FPS mp4 opengl-hq, it also plays smooth with that line but using vo=direct3d_shaders.
>>52251466
>They work already.
Yeah, if it's not displaying in a mode tied to VSync (and in OpenGL full screen) both should work if the FPS falls within the supported interval, but can mpv do things like playing a 24FPS video at 48FPS with frame doubling?
A lot of monitors with FreeSync at least can't for instance go as low as 24Hz, but you could easily play at 24Hz video at 48Hz.
>>52251666
What's the point when you have interpolation? No judder either.
>>52251623
>Is it because I'm on Windows?
Probably.
If you're using a prescaler, try without it.
>>52251623
ffs, hwdec is disabled by default. what the fuck are you autismos smoking?
>>52251666
>but can mpv do things like playing a 24FPS video at 48FPS with frame doubling?
No, and no other media player does frame doubling.
>>52251901
I'm new to mpv I just use vo=opengl-hq so, how do I find out if that has prescaler on?
>>52251949
Fuck off cunt hwdec works fine for me and means my notebook fan doesn't kick in using 50% cpu on 60fps 1080p vids.
>>52252292
>I just use vo=opengl-hq
Then you're not using a prescaler.
I would try withvo=opengland if it's still dropping frames either your computer is to weak to use the video-sync option or it's bugged for you.
>>52251995
Yeah that's what I though, which is why I was surprised when anon (you?) mentioned that mpv supported FreeSync & GSync
>>52253254
Any program on Windows that allows you to disable any form of sync supports FreeSync/G-Sync. I dunno about FreeSync but G-Sync works in both DirectX and OpenGL, windowed and fullscreen.
No idea what the fuck you're talking about.
How to use sharpener like finesharp on mpv.
Silly madvr author removed it without any viable reason!

>>52253541
place your shader where your mpv.conf file is
add post-shaders="~~/filename.glsl" to your mpv.conf
for example:
vo=opengl-hq:post-shaders="~~/filename.glsl"
>>52253541
You can find those shaders here
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts
>>52253689
nope
>>52247417
The insane quality config makes my player drop/delay frames by a a lot but only when its full screen.If i run it in windowed its fine. If I turn off video-sync=display-resample
it works fine in fullscreen though. Have an i5 2500k and a 980 so it should work right?
>>52253917
Try with nnedi3-neurons=32
>>52253917
Don't use nnedi it's retarded. Use this instead:vo=opengl-hq:scale=ewa_lanczossharp:cscale=ewa_lanczossoft:interpolation
video-sync=display-resample
>>52253965
Thanks, this worked!
>>52253917
I thought nnedi was better? Honest question, new to this.
>>52253310
>No idea what the fuck you're talking about
Yes, that's quite clear. Let me tell you then. A lot (the vast majority/all) of FreeSync monitors that are currently on the market have a minimum refresh rate that can work with FreeSync. This is generally above 30Hz and almost definitely not as low as 24Hz. This means that any program refreshing at 30 or 24FPS does in fact NOT benefit from FreeSync, as is the case for any video player that does not do frame doubling (so, all of them).
It's a bit of a stretch to say that mpv or any other video player supports FreeSync when the vast majority of videos at the most common frame rates will in fact not benefit from FreeSync in any manner. If the player did frame doubling, to 48 or 60FPS, then it *would* indeed support FreeSync on current monitors.
No idea about GSync. I know AMD does some shit to make FreeSync work below the actual threshold on certain screens (depending on their supported FreeSync interval, if max >= 2.5*min), probably some variation of displaying the same frame multiple times to get over the minimum FreeSync refresh rate.
>>52254126
Use the high quality settings, full screen, print screen then save as png.
Hit Q, change config to insane quality, open video back on same frame and print screen again. See if you can see even the slightest difference.
>>52254211

>>52252434
vo=opengl works fine too. It's only opengl-hq that goes to complete shit with video-sync=display-resample.
>>52254304
good for people who watch a lot of test cards
>>52254628
You fucking tard
>>52254304
There's a significant improvement, though I can't help but feel that the better the actual video quality is, the less important using something like nnedi3 is.
If you're going to watch something that you can only find in shitty DVD rip quality, you'll need all the help you can get. If you're watching a high-quality, high-bitrate 1080p rip it probably won't make much of a difference at all.
I'd love to see a comparison shot of something like good quality 1080p video resized to 4K.
>>52254138
The question remains of why are you trying to use a hardware solution when a perfectly valid software one (interpolation) exists
>>52254758
Here is one small comparison
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1663611#post1663611
>>52254830
Why would I want interpolated frames when the hardware is perfectly capable of displaying the video properly? There's no real reason to have a fixed refresh rate on a monitor that isn't a CRT.
What's the point of interpolation if the hardware is capable of displaying video of essentially arbitrary frame rate without judder? Interpolation is a solution to a problem that doesn't even actually exist on modern hardware.
Well, to be fair, since pretty much everything is constant frame rate, you can just switch to the proper refresh rate once playback starts anyway, but adaptive sync solutions should really be the way to go.
>>52255004
Looking at those on a 4K monitor at 100% zoom, the difference in favor of nnedi3 is actually greater than I expected. I'm not quite sure if I'd notice the difference between Lanczos/Jinc and NNEDI3 when watching actual video though, not just still frames.
>>52255207
Not sure about you but I wouldn't :p
>>52254138
Well, for one, G-Sync doesn't operate below 30Hz. It does however do frame doubling natively (thanks to the G-Sync Module) whenever the refresh rate drops below 30Hz. So if you have 25Hz, it's doubled to 50Hz. It's clever actually.
But I have no idea how this works with video players.
>>52255004
I still don't understand NNEDI3. Someone told me it only doubles the image and if that is the case then it is virtually useless on my 2560x1440 display unless I watch 1280x720 releases, but why would I do that when I have access to 1920x1080 releases?
Or does NNEDI3 work with 1920x1080 releases on a 2560x1440 monitor?
>>52254830
Interpolation is a blurry fucking mess regardless of which scaler you use.
>>52255389
Yes, It will double the resolution, after that image will be downscaled to 1440 with Mitchell (or whatever you specify for dscale).
>>52255389
Maybe the image is doubled and then downscaled.
>>52250154
None of these shaders or scripts do anything
>>52255389
If I remember correctly, you'll need some god damn pristine eyes to see any difference in quality at full HD resolution. Hell, even HD content (720p) is probably hard to notice unless you compare still images with a magnifying glass.
Though for low res shit it's pretty good as long as you can run it. Like old DVDs, or other < 480p content.
As someone who only downloads (15K+ bitrate movies, will I notice any difference with NNEDI3?
>>52255647
Are you sure your config is correct and in the right place? Because I use adaptive-sharpen and it works great.
>>52255709vo=opengl-hq:post-shaders="/home/<user>/.mpv/adaptive-sharpen-pass1.glsl"
Nothing changes.
>>52255778
If your shader in the same folder as mpv.conf you need:
vo=opengl-hq:post-shaders="~~/adaptive-sharpen-pass1.glsl,~~/adaptive-sharpen-pass2.glsl":no-sigmoid-upscaling

If the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, user configuration files will be read from the ~/.config/mpv directory. System-wide configuration files are read from the /etc/mpv directory.
>>52254522
Regardless of whether svp-like interpolation is good, doing it on the CPU with vapoursynth is really bad. There may not be another solution for MPV at the moment, so you're better off not using it or switching to whatever player is supported by SVP.
>>52256816

Ok so this is stupid. Opengl-hq does most of this already. By using Opengl-hq in the beginning this is the exact same line:vo=opengl-hq:scale=ewa_lanczossharp:cscale=ewa_lanczossharp:scale-antiring=0.8:icc-profile-auto:blend-subtitles:tscale=oversample:tscale-clamp:swapinterval=1:pbo
Now, tscale=oversample is dumb as fuck, because oversample is default, so that can be removed. The same goes for swapinterval=1. Enabling PBOs can cause corruption and can also make the entire shit slower if you don't have the "correct drivers" so that one needs to be heavily tested by the user before even being considered to be used.
But wait! There is more: tscale-clamp is completely useless because you don't use interpolation in that config. That goes for tscale=oversample which we removed previously as well.
So then you're left with:vo=opengl-hq:scale=ewa_lanczossharp:cscale=ewa_lanczossharp:scale-antiring=0.8:icc-profile-auto:blend-subtitles
And the scale anti-ring can cause artifacts, so I'd say remove that shit as well.
So yeah

>>52270974
Many of those are just recommended dependencies.
>>52271005
this is my main laptop, i'm looking into buying a small thinkpad to easily carry with me with arch on it
>>52271014
ah ok
anyway, it seems that the installed size difference is not that big so i'm going with the flow
>>52271118
also i was looking at the wrong mplayer, was looking at the mplayer package but i guess it's mplayer2 that i should be looking at
>>52269936
There is no such option "debanding", only "deband"
>>52271218
Yeah that was a typo, I was writing results down in a text file whilst trying all different ones.
>>52264384
Is there a difference between quality in mpvs default downmixing, or forcing audio-channels=2 in config?
Just installed Linux on my shitty laptop yesterday, and today I was trying to play my videos on MPV.
>frame dropping
I miss Windows and MPC-HC.
>>52272558
>I just tried to do high quality playback on dated hardware and it didn't work
Ok
>>52272558
And you ofcourse use OP's low quality config. Right?
Well this seems to be a brutal thread for configs.
On my laptop with an i5-5300U, HD5500 grapchics, and a 1440p screen I usevo=opengl-hq:interpolation:tscale=mitchell:swapinterval=1:deband=no
video-sync=display-resample
hwdec=vaapi
which works even with with 10bit chinktoons flawlessly, in windowed mode. However any video on full screen it drops frames like crazy. I even tried a DVD quality 2.35:1 video scaled to max on the screen. So theoretically rendering the exact same amount of pixels fullscreen or not, and it STILL dropped tons of frames.
So first thing I did is just trympv --vo=opengl --hwdec=no shitty_video.mkvwhere the shitty video is a video I've tested with my desktop (which I have no problems with) to make sure the video isn't corrupted or has issues. However, even with no hwdec, on a video I downloaded from youtube, full screen drops frames like you wouldn't even believe. A/V desync happens almost instantly, and you would assume I'm on a toaster. But just by pressing f the sync goes back to normal and the video plays fine. Even if I scale it up to the size of my screen, as long as it isn't actually in fullscreen mode it works fine.
So what the fuck is happening?
>>52272572
On MPC-HC I got flawless playback when playing HD video files. Can't believe Linux is inferior in playback quality.
>>52272603
I already tried it, but didn't notice any change in the playback.
>>52273013
>On MPC-HC I got flawless playback when playing HD video files.
So no madVR? The "low" configuration in the OP uses interpolation, which is not standard in either madVR or MPC-HC.vo=openglwill be as good as something like KCP on the low setting.
>>52273013
It's much slower than just opengl-hq
>>52273013
probably your video drivers
>>52273013
Do you use proprietary or open source drivers?
>>52272907
mpv -v file.mkv > bug.dat
Submit a bug report with all pertinent hardware information and bug.dat attached
Also make sure you are using the latest version of mpv
>>52273406
I'm not using the latest I'm using stable, I'll try the -git in the AUR and see if it works. I'm kind of a pleb when it comes to installing programs without a package manager.
>>52273406
>>52273562
Also this is most likely an intel bug, I just realized it does the same with youtube. I'm gonna test some other video players and see what happens.
>>52273601
Nope I lied, doesn't do it in youtube for all videos, but there are some weird artifacts.
Does anyone know if there is a way to control mpv's playback from the terminal? Like with mpd/mpc, I can type mpc pause, mpc play, and it will pause/play my currently playing song.
The reason I ask is, it would be really handy (and lazy) if I could SSH into my desktop PC while laying in bed and type "mpv pause" or "mpv skip 10" to skip ten seconds, so that I don't have to get up.
>>52273562
>>I'm not using the latest I'm using stable
That's the reason. It's an old bug. Update to the latest.
>>52272907
tscale=mitchell is redundant since it's on by default, same goes for swapinterval=1.
So to shorten it down:vo=opengl-hq:interpolation:deband=no
video-sync=display-resample
hwdec=vaapi
Any reasoning why you turned off debanding?
>>52274163
It doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Just tested it with the git master and still has the same issues. Playback at 1440p works fine unless it's 'fullscreen'.
>>52274277
>Any reasoning why you turned off debanding?
To try and figure out why the fuck my laptop can't playback on fullscreen. And yeah I turned off hwdec too.
>>52274474
Operating system? I know OS X has a issue with full-screen performance.
>>52274491
I'm on Linux. Whatever the latest packages in the arch repos are. Except for mpv, which I just upgraded to the git master.
>>52274504
Probably won't solve your problem, but on OS X we need to setfs-black-out-screensin order to fix the full-screen performance issue. It's Apple's fault and not mpv, so that's the only workaround. However since you're going Linux I doubt it'll solve it. Give it a shot at least.
How do I go about changing the upscale value?
My display is 1440p. video is 720p. I want to upscale only to 1080p in fullscreen. Is there a way to force it?
>>52274587
Nah it didn't do anything. Fuck this is annoying. I'm on IRC asking about it
Winfaggit here...
I don't reallt see it but it seems the only way to not get crazy ass dropped frames on my intel-only notebook is by using direct3d_shaders. I was reading github issues last night and came across one saying one day direct3d may be removed in favor of angle.
Should I just go back to using mpc-hc?
>>52247417
>interpolation
ew
>>52274758
Direct3D_Shaders is deprecated and should only be used if your PC is so old and shit that it can't do OpenGL. See: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#video-output-drivers-direct3d-shaders
>>52274817
but my notebook is less than a year old i5.
when I ask in previous threads I just told "hurr opengl on windows doesn't work"
I can't even see the frame drops with my eyes, but it goes up to 1.5k in a minute of video and it worries me.
>>52274918
As you said, angle will be the new shit for Windows users. However it isn't implemented yet. There's an experimental backend called "dxinterop", however that only works on nVidia and AMD GPUs. Windows doesn't have any hardware decoding yet, unlike Linux which has vdpau for Intel GPUs.
Sounds strange that you have frame drops on a newer i5 (Haswell/Broadwell?), it should work just fine unless it's some insane high res HEVC file. Tried with a completely clean configuration, without any extras? Just a simple vo=opengl?
>>52274918
>opengl on windows doesn't work
opengl is always recommended even on windows. As that guy said d3shaders are only there for compatibility reasons if opengl can't work.
>>52275034
I tried hwdec=dxva2-copy and it works fine (doesn't make difference to frames dropped from vo=x though) I tried so much shit the past few days.
I have an i5-5200U w/ Intel HD Graphics 5500
opengl-hq drops like insanity, opengl drops a lot but nowhere near as bad and d3d_shaders is the only one that doesn't.
The thing is when I tried some 60fps video I cannot tell that anything is being dropped, the scenes look right but I can see cmd open with dropped frames sky-rocketing.
If I add `video-sync=display-resample` then it becomes noticeable on opengl and opengl-hq, but completely fine with d3d.
Anyone know how I can bind keys to pan the video up and down?
Manual says "video-pan-x" but when I tried:alt+LEFT video-pan-x -0.1
alt+RIGHT video-pan-x -0.1
alt+UP video-pan-y -0.1
alt+DOWN video-pan-y -0.1
it says command not found.
>>52275193
>I have an i5-5200U w/ Intel HD Graphics 5500
Is your laptop a lenovo by any chance?
>>52275337
Nah it's a HP. Also the files I'm playing are 720p mp4 files I had laying around plus some 60fps clips I pulled form yt in same res.
>>52275431
I have basically the exact same CPU/GPU and I'm getting some of the same issues >>52272907
Probably a coincidence, but maybe intel has severely fucked up its drivers on both windows and linux. Who knows.
>>52247417
How do I use those configurations?
>>52276067
If you on Windows just download rorgoroth's build
>>52272558
>tfw core lMao handles madVR and mpv fine
Switched to Debian Stretch and never looked back.
>>52276161
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd rather learn how to do it on the vanilla build.
>>52275307
anyone?
>>52257906
whats this program?/
>>52277067
gedit
>>52277669
How did you make gedit look that good
>>52276651
pls
