What is the best option considering quality for hwdec=?
Alright maybe you fegs can shed some light on this. The only thing I want mpv to do is adjust volume using the scroll button. Running latest stable build on Windows 7.
>>53692871
I don't think it matters.
The only improvement having hwdec=no over anything else is timing/sync which shouldn't be an issue anyway.

>>53694181
Calm down senpai. Some hardware decoding APIs convert the image to RGB, which means the YUV conversion and chroma upsampling might be sub-par.
Also, not all files are spec compliant. In practice, FFmpeg software decoding can return more sensible results than hardware decoding APIs for broken files.
>>53694181
>HARDWARE DECODING AND SOFTWARE DECODING MUST PRODUCE THE SAME PICTURE AS PER MPEG SPEC

>>53694365
dxva2 works only with backend=dxinterop
I'm so glad the latest update for my intel gpu made dxva2/dxinterop not crash with mpv. It plays opengl-hq flawless where before with dxva2-copy it would drop frames unless I used the opengl:deband setting.
>>53694386
most people mean dxva2 when asking about hwdec and you linux tards suggest them to not use it.
>>53694364
Only in Direct3D mode, which requires copyback if you want to use it with mpv's OpenGL output driver.
>>53694457
Which might actually be a problem on very high resolution files (e.g. 4K 60 Hz), mind. You're doubling your image bandwidth and increasing the critical signal latency.
Meanwhile software decoding will just work, unless you have a CPU from the last century.
>>53694457
dxva2 doesn't require copyback
>>53694478
You can't transfer a texture from Direct3D to OpenGL without copying back to system memory.
>>53694487
You can though.
mpv uses this extension to do it: https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/NV/DX_interop.txt
>>53694487
idk, 4K 60fps video plays flawlessly with dxva2, but stutters badly with dxva2-copy
>>53694511
>>53694512
>dxva2+dxinterop
That means the GPU ends up doing RGB conversion. dxva2-copy is the only one for which you get access to undistorted planes.
>>53694546
>That means the GPU ends up doing RGB conversion.
And it doesn't even get the YUV->RGB conversion right, let alone the upscaling.
>>53694606
I just compared software vs dxva2 (on nVidia) and dxva2 seems a bit better (sharper). I will continue using it.
>>53694846
Try again withcscale=ewa_lanczossharp.
Also enjoy your inaccurate colors in many sources and generally unpredictable behavior.
>>53694364
>>53694453
There is simply no way with the current APIs to access undistorted YCbCr planes via DXVA2 and without requiring copyback.
Only VAAPI and VDPAU are capable of it, and VDPAU only via some really obscure and probably unintended side effect of another “feature”.

I'm still using old SVP with MPC. Does the free version of the newer one provide the same smoothness?
>>53702953

No because you have to buy it. I think it will be free eventually for linux/osx? It says you need mpv built with vapoursynth so it will probably be the same as the mvtools version that already exists anyway.

It's hard to say where ‘mpv’ even started being a thing. Is it the point where somebody came up with a name? Is it the point where it got uploaded to github?
mpv's lineage traces back to a git branch on another git repo, though. And that one has been around for quite a while. And that is just a branch of another branch. And that one traces back to a branch in another repo. So uh..

>>53711996
>But does it break any sort of scalers or filters?
Using hardware decoding means your GPU might need to do chroma upscaling and RGB conversion. Depending on the exact API involved, this means:
dxva2: You will get bad chroma scaling and driver-dependent, generally buggy RGB conversion - which will be wrong for a large number of source files and might even produce completely broken images.
vdpau: You will get bad to medium chroma scaling (depending on your vdpaupp settings). RGB conversion is influenced by mpv, but it only supports linear conversions (which might break some more obscure files, hard to say without testing it).
vaapi with backend=x11egl: Everything will work fine.
vaapi-copy or dxva2-copy: Everything will work fine, but performance might be bad (and in fact, might very well be worse than regular software decoding for large files). This requires a lot of GPU transfer bandwidth.
In general there is little reason to turn *on* hardware decoding if you can avoid it. It should only be used as necessary (e.g. on notebooks where battery life is a concern) as it breaks more than it helps.
>>53712171
Sorry, I don't use MPV but I've been using DXVA2 here. DXVA2-copy, is it same as copy-back?
>>53712033

I was just trying it out, and most of my video files seem to fall back to software decoding anyway. And I don't exactly trust my GPU/drivers.

>>53712222
yes
>>53712254

>hwdec
makes no difference at all
>>53713368
Because lachs0r is lazy.
Can try this https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files
hwdec=dxva2 works with backend angle
>>53713397
Most interesting part is MF uses the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS), that prioritizes real time multimedia processing to reserve the resources required for the playback without any tearing or glitches.
>>53713462
>>53713471
That was a question btw
I tried default interpolation and haasn's tscale config.
But why it's so shitty compared to MPDN's fluidmotion?
Is there a tscale config to mimic the MPDN's fluidmotion?
>>53713167
Patrick should have VLC. Bob should have MPC-HC.
>>53692766
> --video-sync=display-resample
To use interpolation on latest mpv I need to have this option enabled but this fucks up with the audio. How can I solve this?
>>53713496
mpv already interacts with MMCSS in a few ways. The audio-feed thread and the main playback thread associate themselves with the correct MMCSS tasks. The VOs enable MMCSS scheduling in the DWM. It would be cool if mpv could also take advantage of the thread ordering stuff, but I guess there would need to be some proof that it would actually give a noticeable improvement.
In any case, if you want more MMCSS integration, it should probably be added to mpv directly. Switching out FFmpeg for Media Foundation would basically make mpv a different video player.

I doubt you can notice the 0.13% audio resampling but if you do try any other video sync option like vdrop
>>53713753
It messes up with the outro song on cowboy bebop. It's noticeable by anyone
>>53713605
interesting. I do notice there is no audio hiccups while high cpu usage so that's why.
>>53713774
this happens to me sometimes. Closing the player and opening it again fixes it for me. It could be a buffer audio problem.
>>53713843
It happens 100% of the times for me.
>>53713866
where i can download the file or a sample so I can test it?

audio-pitch-correction=yes

>>53714009
Didn't change anything
>>53713943
which audio track
>>53714117
Japanese
>>53714125
the ED song? I really can't notice any difference. I'm using vo=Direct3D without interpolation though.
>>53714316
I think the issue might be SMPlayer but I can't figure out why. I'm not certain that's the issue either because I don't know how to output log files from mpv therefore I don't know if it's using the mpv.conf file correctly. Is this how it's supposed to look like and how do I tell mpv to output a log file?
>>53714499
To clarify I'm using standalone mpv now and I want to output a log file. I know smplayer has its own logfiles.
>>53714529
try adding this line to the mpv.conf
log-file=output.txt
>>53714499
>SMPlayer
right now mpv support on that player is basic. For really use all the mpv potential it should use the mpvlib API but the developer thinks it's just too much work. Right now it uses mpv like it was mplayer2 and that's just wrong.
>>53714611
Any other decent gui?
>>53714575
does that work? I always need to launch mpv from cmd for that.
mpv --log-file=output.txt "file to play"
>>53714575
http://pastebin.com/9R5nvqW6
Well it created a log but I still don't know if it's using any of the other commands such as video-sync=display-resample. smaplyer produces a more readable log and I'd like that
http://pastebin.com/BWG548vJ this is the mpv log smplayer produces
>>53714688
It works if you create the file and give a directory. For example create a folder called "test" in C:\ and inside create a file called "output.txt". Then set log-file=C:\test\output.txt in the conf file and it'll work
>>53714656
no. You will need to play with config files for now.
>>53714727
>Assuming 60.000000 FPS for display sync
either your screen is the best ever or that's just wrong.
60.019740 FPS for me as it's never 60 real fps.
If it detects wrongly the screen refreshrate then even sound can be screwed.
>>53714727
so if you use standalone mpv the sound problem is gone? I bet Smplayer is resampling the sound. Look at the audio config and disable everything.
>>53692766
Winfag here, I put these presets in my mpv.conf file, tried placing the file in the same folder as mpv.exe and later in my AppData/Roaming/mpv folder.
Either way, video quality literally doesn't change at all. Unless it's something that can't be captured in a screenshot it doesn't seem to be working.
Am I missing something? Do I need to give the .conf file a different name? Do I need to download/install filters myself? Someone please explain this, I don't get this program at all.
>>53714882
>If it detects wrongly the screen refreshrate then even sound can be screwed.
How can I make it detect correctly?
>>53714948
>Winfag
just open the player from cmd and try the presets as parameters first
>>53714882
>>53715020
I've tested my refresh rate on retroarch and it always detects 59.998
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/wiki/Getting-optimal-vsync-performance
>>53715020
>>53715077
that's a video drivers thing. Don't think too much about it if you don't have problems with the standalone mpv player.
On Windows the best vo is Direct3D. OpenGL just sucks. Let's see if they make it work properly this time with Vulkan.
>>53703026
It's not as good, at least from what I've seen on Windows
Too lazy to test on Arch
They also keep changing the IPC method with each update
>>53715071
Assuming I'm even doing this right, nothing happens still.
Any more advice? I know /g/ isn't tech support but I'd really like to get this working.
>>53715305
You need -- in front of the parameter
>>53715305
nope. On cmd parameters has to be like this
--vo=opengl-hq
>>53715071
I'm not sure if my mpv.conf is working correctly. It looks like this >>53714499
I tried running those options as parameters through cmd and the output log looks this:
http://pastebin.com/TyZtsLD1
If I run a video by dragging I get this:
http://pastebin.com/am9G5ZAb
The first log has this:
[ 0.004][v][cplayer] Setting option 'video-sync' = 'display-resample' (flags = 8)
[ 0.004][v][cplayer] Setting option 'audio-pitch-correction' = 'yes' (flags = 8)
[ 0.004][v][cplayer] Setting option 'initial-audio-sync' = 'yes' (flags = 8)
[ 0.004][v][cplayer] Setting option 'hwdec' = 'no' (flags = 8)
The second doesn't.
>>53714499
I can reproduce the sound problem on SMplayer too. Go to Preferences->General->Audio-> change the "Auto" pitch speed to "No"
>>53712987
And again!
>>53715319
>>53715322
Thanks, that works, though the video still looks the same. Does opengl-hq simply make no difference?
>>53715394
Not really
What were you expecting? Warpsharp filters?
>>53712917
>>53713013
mpv has--video-stereo-mode, does that help?
>>53715394
>1280x720
Seems like you're watching it at the native resolution, or at least screenshotting it at that. That means there are no scalers being used. That means it should be the same mostly.
>>53715394
At least Symphogear had cute girls.
>>53715394
it looks like shit because that series is shit
>>53715394
now try with --vo=direct3d or --vo=direct3d-shaders
you should tell the difference
>>53714948
Some stuff is placebo, depends on your source.
Old DVD anime releases with low bitrate can definitely be helped with better scaling algorithms.
For me it's smooth motion and the debanding that helps the most for any release.
>>53715345
Try putting the mpv.conf next to mpv.exe.
>>53714009
>audio-pitch-correction=yes
This should be =no
>>53715345
it seems ok when done by parameters. Dragging a file should use the mpv.conf though.
Best you can do is create a folder "portable_config" where the mpv.exe is and put the mpv.conf inside that folder.
>>53714948
>Am I missing something?
How are you taking the screenshots?
>>53715394
use
vo=opengl-hq:sharpen=10
and you will see the difference
>>53707529
>Even though it's 1080p, shouldn't he be seeing a difference from interpolation, debanding and cscale?
cscale most likely not. There are some prime example for "seeing" cscale which is usually hard red borders but in most occasions you don't see it easily.
debanding... well, when you don't have visible banding then you can't see debanding and you are playing a BD release from a group not exactly known to starve (etc.) their releases so I'd never expect there to be a lot visible banding to exist (except when the BD is fucked up to begin with)
and interpolation... yes, you should see it on pans
How can I configure youtube-dl in windows to download best quality to use with mpv, by default It uses 720p.
>>53715678
--ytdl-format=bestvideo+bestaudio
>>53715749
Perfect, Thanks!
>>53706440
Damn, what can I do with an i7 6700k and a 970 to make this pan smoothly?
>>53706440
Is it normal for the scene to become blurry as fuck? Does my LCD simply suck ass?
>>53715358
Indeed that seems to have fixed it
>>53701588
This is fucking bullshit, why would the better (and actual correctly implemented jinc) only affect japanese cartoons with a target audience of beta teen boys? Also the debanding shader works wonders on live action stuff because unlike anime live action actually has lots of gradients and thus banding.
Not to mention that mpv is free software, works on all operating systems, has a simple single config file instead of some incomprehensible button+tab gui mess, works from the terminal and has cool lua scripting capabilities.
>>53715817
SVP or -- considering your CPU -- MVTools should probably work as well.
>>53716046
MVTools still judders, even with --framedrop=no
>>53716115
Tune your script parameters. My i7 3770 could do it with the old, less optimized version so yours should be able to do so too...
I'm compiling mpv for Windows in Msys2 but the final executable is just too small. (8Mb)
How can I compile the stand alone executable with all the libraries included (30Mb)?
>>53717099
You can't do static builds with msys2, you'll have to run ldd and copy every dll it links to and ship with mpv.exe
>>53717128
except that you can, only without libbluray
>>53717249
how
>>53717249
How? Never worked for me making static build on msys2.

>>53717313

>>53717307

and you will probably need to disable sdl in ffmpeg
