shit looks better when i use mpv on my mbp than my desktop dell ultrasharp. How do i fix this? I feel as if i get to edit the settings on my mac more than windows.

>>

>>54177140
Probably screen's color calibration. Is the Ultrasharp calibrated? The MacBook Pro's display might be oversaturated which gives it a "better looking" feel, but inaccurate colors. Using icc-profile-auto in your vo options might help with using the correct ICC profile when calibrated.

As for the MBP's CPU usage, try using the "fs-black-out-screens" option. Are you using heavy upscalers like ewa_lanczossharp? Debanding? video-sync=display-resample? Interpolation? or similar settings? Many of those are automatically applied if using opengl-hq. If you are, it will require a lot more power. A laptop running around 68 degrees while viewing video isn't really that strange, my UX303LA runs about the same when using mpv.

You can use hardware decoding to decrease the load on the CPU by using "hwdec=videotoolbox".

Every screen is made differently, *especially* for the cheaper / non-professional screens.

The only way to get a reliable ICC profile is to measure one yourself. Using one from any other source will result in a suboptimal result.

>I still think it will need more than one year to have current madvr quality.
It will never have madVR quality since “quality” is subjective and subjective perception is driven by expectation.

As long as people compare mpv against madVR with the expectation of it the latter being better, the latter will look better to them.

The same sort of expectation bias manifests itself with all the “fancy” shaders like NNEDI3 or Bilateral. Mathematically, they are all inferior shaders that add significant amounts of distortion. But like how some people deliberately use (mathematically inferior) tube amps because they think it sounds better, some people deliberately use these shaders because they think it sounds better.

mpv generally sticks by the rule of “as close to the source as possible, as close to the theory as possible”. If some people end up liking subjective adjustments to the source better than the original, they should do so via third-party (user-provided) shaders.

Some of the most popular of these shaders are included in mpv by default mostly for technical reasons, but as soon as the user shader API evolves to the point where there's no point in keeping them inside mpv anymore they will most likely go again. (e.g. superxbr, NNEDI3)

>>54185010
>A perfect convolution
so when mpv will have "a perfect convolution"?
>>
>>54185029
np, keep using your ewa_lanczos that is almost the same as bilinear only preserves a bit more details.
>>
>>54185082
Never, it's too slow for realtime use and assumes a good input signal (i.e. no aliasing in the source).

The best approximation we have is
ewa_lanczos
which is fast enough for realtime use.

See also e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling#Sampling_theorem_background for some discussion of the theory.

Why nnedi3 is so slow with mpv?
I install the latest ubuntu with latest nvidia driver to see if it could be opengl on windows.
But no, it's really slow or not optimized at all.

I love the open source mind of the mpv project.
I would like to use ubuntu as my main operating system as it's faster than win10 and use less battery when tlp is installed.
I still don't understand why mpdn or madvr could not be open sourced. It's so sad.

I strongly encourage all the mpv contributors.

It processes the image pixel by pixel, which is rather slow.

madVR uses the OpenCL version of NNEDI3 written by SEt, which processes the image in blocks of 8 pixels at the same time.

mpv does not use OpenCL for various reasons.

Error parsing option prescale-luma (option could not be parsed)

I've heard this could either be just too old a version of mpv (which seems unlikely, though it is a third party PPA, for some reason) or that it compiled without a certain option flagged.

So is there a way to check which version I've got and compare it to the latest to find out which it is? And if it compiled without a certain option, is there a simple way to fix that after the fact or is it just compile it myself?

It's because you use a tiny 17" CTR monitor with a raspberry.

Madshi uses latest video projectors with latest technologies.
But real (not upscaled) 4K contents are pretty rare.
Watching 720p tv shows on this kind of devices without these "meme" filters is ridiculous.
I use a 4k projectors and these meme filters are fucking awesome.

>>54200427
I think you are too dumb to notice dropped frames.
And this is why you think these filters are ugly.
>>
>>54200537
>>54200642
See >>54184917. There will be a new madVR release, it will come with a filter that distorts the image in some new way, you'll install it with the expectation that it will look good because madVR has a weird cult status, and due to expectation bias, you will confuse looking different with looking better and demand the same meme filter from mpv. Super-xBR is a pretty good example of this effect, since it was a pixel art filter that was never designed for live action video, yet you ate it up all the same.

>It's because you use a tiny 17" CTR monitor with a raspberry.
I don't, but you can believe whatever you like if it justifies your memes.

The madvr's superxbr chroma upscaler is for people who doesn't have enough power for jinc and that prefer sharper picture than spline with less aliasing. Madvr has also a powerful preset system to handle any situations.

Super-xBR was an easy target, but NNEDI3 is shit too. I don't see how anyone can look at an NNEDI3 filtered image and not see watercolours. Maybe people like it because neural networks are trendy.

Cherry-picked examples like pic-related probably help too. I bet people look at this, assume NNEDI3 is "good" and ignore how it butchers real video.

It is, but that's not the whole point. NNEDI3 doesn't just make the grass blurrier, it also smears it in random directions and makes it look more like a painting than an upscaled photograph of grass. I find that more distracting than lanczos' aliasing on the roof.

>Maybe nnedi3 fails sometimes, but ewa_lanczos fails much more often.
For some definitions of 'fails,' sure, whatever, but ewa_lanczos doesn't make oil paintings when it 'fails.'

No but I was thinking about ways to implement that the other day. I just haven't gotten round to it.

Basically I would extend the mpv pan properties so that you can specify absolute values instead of relative values, and then also add a property for determining the source rectangle. That way you can easily have a pan function that clamps such that the panned source rectangle can never move outside of the original image.

No, that's complete and utter rubbish. ewa_lanczos on top. It's perfectly smooth everywhere. Which makes sense, given that ewa_lanczos is *literally* an idealized low-pass filter.

It's mathematically guaranteed to contain an anti-aliased artifact. If you want me to prove it, I could go ahead. Or you could look up “convolution kernel frequency response” and work out the mathematics yourself.

NNEDI3 (bottom) on the other hand adds shittons of aliasing. I literally just picked a random crop, didn't even have to cherry-pick. It's all over the image.

Looks fine to me. Notice how ewa_lanczos here is perfectly anti-aliased - it avoids introducing moiré artifacts (“pixel sparkle”)

Notice how NNEDI3 looks more like the left image in this comparison of anti-aliasing algorithms.

Left is completely aliased (no anti-aliasing at all)
Middle is anti-aliased with a naive filter (notice the imperfections in the output)
Right is anti-aliased using the lanczos filter

Now you know why we call sinc (the function at the heart of lanczos) a perfect anti-aliasing filter.

And before you try and say otherwise, please read up and learn what “aliasing”means.

>The source image is horribly aliased
Please, I just threw up a bit. This is why I can't take image comparisons made by amateurs seriously.

Take any actual movie or anime, you will only get anti-aliased content. (Well, apart from a few “special” anime studios that basically don't know what the fuck they are doing in general when it comes to technology)

This is because real engineers in real encoding studios understand signal theory and how it's used to represent, transmit and process images. Heck, even game programmers understand that anti-aliasing is a desirable property of video game rendering.

It takes a special level of retard to blatantly ignore all established theory, all established practice, construct bullshit test images and use them to somehow demonstrate that their mathematically inferior algorithms are “better”.

Complete and utter lunacy, no different from audiophile bullshit. Pic related, it's the audio equivalent of NNEDI3 (heavy distortion + cargo cult “wisdom”)
>>
>>54202583
I know what aliasing means, and small amount of it, like here >>54202523, doesn't bother me. nnedi3 is just sharper, hence more aliased (and I'm perfectly fine with it)

It's mostly super-xbr and SuperRes and the other shaders that are the really bad oil painting filters.

But “oil painting” seems to be used as a collective term to refer to all distorting upscalers.

NNEDI3 is one of the ones that has comparatively little distortion, but it's still very noticeable in worst cases.
