Because none of the developers give a shit about your snowflake “gooey” requirements except for one, and he just made a rudimentary “on-screen controller” as a proof of concept to show that you could technically do it with lua+ass.
Nobody has an interest in improving, extending or maintaining it. There are much more interesting things to be working on besides functionality that I will just disable either way.
>>54691811

this is a miracle of the universe. Are the others players even trying?
>>54691934
The arch mentality. Another reason to not use this shit.
>>54691934
That's because the program itself isn't popular and most of the people that even use it are tech savy.

>>54691967

all FOSS bud. Only reason to write code is if it benefits yourself.
Same is true for proprietary software but the difference is that they get paid to cater to other people's needs. Hobbyist FOSS developers don't, so why would they give a shit about idiots who can't use a keyboard?

Is there poor performance issue with rorgoroth's build or madvr is much more optimized?
My computer doesn't handle vo=opengl-hq (I tried dxinterop and angle shits).
But it runs madvr's bilateral, finesharp (image enhancement), deband and smoothmotion without any issues.
>>54692342
Sounds like OpenGL driver-related issues.
mpv's shaders are significantly more optimized than madVR, but you only really notice it on Linux since Windows OpenGL drivers are terrible. (Thank Microsoft)
>>54692365
Oh also, mpv's shaders are optimized towards newer AMD cards. If you're on particularly old hardware, especially old nvidia cards or intel iGPUs, you will be at a disadvantage.
>>54692365

I will check that tomorrow.

>What's the less annoying linux distro?
Gentoo Linux, it's the only distro that doesn't force bullshit on you if you don't want it to
>Do you mean the AMD Radeon R9 series only?
Not necessarily, no, just anything that's new enough to actually run these shaders. (e.g. HD 7xxx series and above)
For example, mpv makes certain assumptions about the minimum amount of VRAM you have. With less than 2GB or so you might have a bad time trying to use interpolation. mpv also assumes texture fetches are fast on your card. While this is true for AMD (more so than for nvidia), it still needs to be fast enough to perform as many texture fetches as needed.
Either way, what card do you have?
vd-lavc-skiploopfilter=bidir
this makes video decoding so much faster and I cant' notice any quality loose. What does this exactly?
>>54692567
>What does this exactly?
Skips the loop filter. Means your video will have more blocking than normal.
(Try looking at it with vo_opengl's deband filter turned off)

>>54692769
1920x1080
>>54692769
No dropped frames with madvr's smoothmotion, deband and finesharp.
>>54692829
That's 0.124 gigapixels per second. So assume you're running spline36 (~10 samples), deband (~5), bilateral (another ~10+ samples, can't be bothered counting), finesharp (another ~20 samples), smoothmotion (another ~2 samples) plus at least one draw/sample operation for each pass in between (~10) you're already at like ~60 samples per pixel, which is already twice your texture fill rate budget.
Sorry, but I simply don't see you running any of these shaders on that piece of shit GPU any time soon. Whatever madVR is doing, it must be something like sacrificing quality in return for making it actually run. I would be willing to bet that it doesn't actually run the shader stages as advertised. (Not like you can see much of a different either way, placebo works wonders)

What are the benefits from changing to MPC to mpv?
I'm a filthy casual that wants to learn more, but, before going into it I want to know if there is really any benefit from it compared to other players(MPC/PotPlayer in this case), because I don't really want 1000 hundred features that I'll never use, I just want to watch videos on a minimal GUI/noGUI player

I saw that somebody hadtscale=bcspline:tscale-param1=0.0:tscale-param2=0.6283185:tscale-radius=2
or something like that in their config a while ago, I have experimented with the tscale options before and settled on either default or triangle because they seemed the smoothest to me but after trying those settings it oddly seems quite a bit smoother but maybe it's just placebo, my question is what exactly does param1 and param2 do for tscale or bcspline in particular?

You decide. Choose what you like more SuperRes or adaptive sharpen.

Is using a 2-pass adaptive sharpen (https://gist.github.com/igv) kind of "required" as in: when using the 1-pass version then you can just stay with FineSharp anyway? Or what's the advantage of the 2-pass version?
Personally, I think FineSharp does more damage than good to the picture

No, I assumed default values are "optimum" for the general case. When I use default FineSharp/1-pass adaptive-sharpen on an already sharp-enough (but night high quality) image the lines actually flock slightly out and quality degrades. Not by a lot but still... didn't expect that...

If you use both windows and any kind of unix, having a program that works the same and can be configured mostly the same is really nice.
Being able to bind shit however I want is nice, the only addtional GUI I would want is some sort of playlist view, but that would be better as a part of window management.
Hell, all I need is the autoplaylist script to add the latest played files to window's recent files list, and to sort my animu and hbo shows by last files opened and I don't need any other functionality.
mpv is also open source, so nobody can add some stupid bloatware/spyware to the program and not have people find out. running it from the command line lets you script stuff and plug it into stuff like youtube-dl

So I'll ask again, is there a way to use fullscreen windowed (presented in madvr), to eliminate screen blink while switching to fullscreen?

Does Adaptive Sharpen also upscale stuff like 480p / 720p to 1080p in a decent manner?
>>54707523
I've tried most of them and the only one that I could even notice a difference between comparing screenshots was adaptive sharpen, and even then it made some content look shit and too sharp. Also if you're watching something like a youtube video that has shitty bitrate it sharpens all the compression artifacts and looks terrible.
>>54707683

Why interpolation is so intensive for GPU?
Is it because of display-resample?
>>54709142
1. It requires rendering at 60 fps instead of 24 fps, which drastically decreases the amount of available render time per frame
2. It requires saving all partial results to textures (~10 of them) and fetching those per rendered frame, which can be heavy on VRAM bandwidth
3. It requires four (for tscale=mitchell) full-res texture samples per frame, which is hard especially at high resolutions (e.g. 4K).
>>54709229
>requires rendering at 60 fps instead of 24 fps
Good to know! So if I can't play 60fps videos, there are almost no chance to use interpolation correctly?

nah.
>>54713866
updates on FFmpeg improves mpv playback performance since mpv uses FFmpeg's multimedia framework.
>>54711512
Pretty much what everyone else said applies to me too. I switched from MPlayer to uau's fork to mplayer2 to mpv. Whatever "learning curve" I had to overcome to be able to use MPlayer-like video players, I overcame over 10 years ago. Switching to MPC-HC would require learning for me.
Also, I regularly switch between Linux and Windows machines, so it would be pretty pointless to learn how to use a video player that only works on one of the two. Learning two things is harder than just learning one of the two.
Also, what a retarded question. Why is it that /g/-tards always assume other people use computers in exactly the same way that they do? Some people, believe it or not, have never used MPC-HC as their primary video player. Some people use and enjoy command-line software. Not everyone has had the same experience with computers that you had, so not everyone is approaching the same learning curve that you are. Different people use computers differently.

No one says you should. We here like to tinker a bit and then have the superiour program for video watching. If someone else does only want to have the player work out of the box, they can either install mpv with standard settings (and with the windows file association batch file) or use VLC.
Either way we don't care. We only dislike when morons come in here and argue that stuff like madvr is inherently better than the mpv algorithms (which even if that were true across the board, which isn't the case, still sucks as madvr isn't FOSS)

I found a lua script to switch display framerate for windows.
https://github.com/kevinlekiller/mpv_scripts/tree/master/autospeedwin
I put this line into my mpv.conf file:
script-opts=autospeed-nircmd=true,autospeed-speed=true,autospeed-nircmdc="nircmdc",autospeed-dwidth=1920,autospeed-dheight=1080,autospeed-bdepth=32,autospeed-rates="23, 24, 50, 60",autospeed-exitrate=60,autospeed-minspeed=0.9,autospeed-maxspeed=1.1,autospeed-osd=true,autospeed-osdtime=10,autospeed-osdkey=y,autospeed-estfps=true,autospeed-spause=4
However it switches to 24Hz display framerate with all my 23,976Hz movies. I have to remove "24" from autospeed-rates to switch to 23,976Hz.
Is it normal? Why it switches to 24Hz and not 23,976Hz?
I have strange behavior at video start, it shows and close a cmd.exe terminal twice before switching framerate and playing file.

Yep, usecache-file=TMP. This will make a cache file in your temp directory.
>What's the difference between cache and cache-secs from a practical standpoint?
cache-secs overrides demuxer-readahead-secs when the cache is active, so you should look at the docs for demuxer-readahead-secs. Basically, it sets the size of the cache between the demuxer thread and the decoding threads, so the decoding threads don't get blocked on I/O. It can also help cache streams that don't support the regular cache, like HLS streams. You should probably leave it enabled, but there's not much benefit to making it larger than the default. Set cache (or preferably cache-default) instead.

It still plays modern games (GTAV, Witcher 3) at high settings even with a few background programs (Deluge, Foobar, Chrome) open so i don't see the reason to upgrade to 8GB yet.
Besides I'm gonna make a whole new build with Zen and Polaris and DDR4 in 2017 so no point upgrading it now.

To be honest I agree, only thing that kept me using mpv is how easy it is to make it portable.

Yes, and it's slow.
All these articles are written by people who don't really understand how people use computers in 2016. Notice how they keep mentioning swap partitions and how tmpfs was designed to be swapped out, and they're comparing tmpfs+swapping vs regular filesystems+caching.
But they're stuck in a model of computers from several decades ago. It's like Terry Davis says; Linux is developed by people who think they're writing an operating system that will be used on 70's mainframes - not personal computers in the year 2016.
In 2016, I don't even *have* a swap partition. tmpfs vs regular fs is the difference between keeping things entirely in memory (fast) and keeping things on the disk (slow).

>the difference between keeping things entirely in memory (fast) and keeping things on the disk (slow).
Or more precisely, it's the difference between keeping things in memory and only in memory, with the understanding that the kernel will start OOM killing random processes when memory is full, or keeping things in a memory cache that is flushed to disk when the operating system decides would be the most opportune time, the latter of which is probably better for the things /tmp is actually used for (on a personal computer in $CURRENT_YEAR,) such as temporary downloads in Firefox and the cache in mpv, both of which could potentially grow very large.
>>54719195
>with the understanding that the kernel will start OOM killing random processes when memory is full
If memory is full, your computer is in a world of pain one way or the other.
Either some process (most likely the one that's consuming memory like crazy) dies, or your computer becomes completely unresponsive until you decide to pull the plug on it.
>or keeping things in a memory cache that is flushed to disk when the operating system decides would be the most opportune time
This works in theory, but not in practice. In practice, reads and writes from/to a hard-drive backed filesystem are slow, even with the implicit hope that they “should” be memory cached.
If you want to disprove this notion, feel free to run any suitable filesystem benchmark on your / and then on a tmpfs and post the numbers.

>Is it normal? Why it switches to 24Hz and not 23,976Hz?
Welcome to the wonderufl world of Windows APIs.
Since the incompetent monkeys at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to restrict it to integers only, the OS-level API only lets you see ‘24’.
To work around the limitation of not being able to distinguish between 23.976 Hz and 24.000 Hz, people start using ‘23 Hz’ to refer to 23.976 Hz and ‘59 Hz’ to refer to 59.94 Hz.
Your script is probably treating ‘23 Hz’ as actually being 23.000 Hz and not 23.976 Hz when it tries to pick the closest matching rate.
>>54719332
I have, and I'd much rather have the opportunity to kill an out of control process on a barely responsive system than have the kernel pick a process to kill for me.
>>54719394
>opportunity
There's no process so valuable that it would be better to spend 10 minutes waiting for a swapping system response to your inputs rather than just risk having it get killed.
It's an unrealistic scenario either way. How often do you run out of memory during normal usage? Precisely never. Only time it happens is if some process misbehaves and starts requesting memory in an infinite loop until your entire RAM is full.
And if that happens, it would also exhaust your swap space - that is assuming you can bear to wait around for 5 minutes for it to happen rather than just hitting the reset button.
>>54719385
For what it's worth, there is an API in Windows 7 and up (DisplayConfig) that lets you get the current refresh rate as a fraction. It probably lets you set it too, but I haven't tried that yet. They're hidden away in the hardware dev section of MSDN.
mpv uses them to get the refresh rate: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/video/out/win32/displayconfig.c

Sometimes it happens when I try to compile several C++ programs at once, with multiple make jobs each. When that happens, I'd prefer to hit ^C than have the kernel kill my web browser.

Recently updated from the version after which the srsfckbiz builds stopped having angle support. I don't want to loose my fancy progressbar as it is one of the only reasons I'm still using mpv (other than the fact than only mpv can run 4k videos without dropped frames).

@1-pass Adaptive Sharpen
It has an antiringing value but it doesn't mention a sensible range of possible values.
Also, it's off by default. Why? Do I have to assume it's not working correctly or doing more bad than good?
>>54720362
>Adaptive Sharpen
I guess it doesn't ring anyway. Just reduce curve_height to 0.6 - 0.8
what are the pros of this vs potplayer or mpc-HC?, I have no problems learning new stuff and such, just want to know if it's worth it when it comes to quality/speed/etc
>>54720578
speed, quality (mpv >= madvr (I like antiringing in madvr only)).
>>54720578
honestly, without the GUI/onthefly changes mpv is worst than mpc-hc, but more portable.
I personally like it because of how portable it is, and because I've gotten use to it.

Your 4chan is broken, pal
There seems to be a difference in how mplayer and mpv handle VDPAU.
SMPlayer with mplayer can seek anywhere into the video without any glitching. mpv can't.
This seems to have something to do with precise and relative seeks. I can seek in mpv with the arrow keys (relative) no problem, it's when I seek outside that using the mouse that it becomes glitchy.
I've tried--hr-seek=nobut it doesn't seem to have an effect on mouse exact seek. Setting--hr-seek=yeswill cause even seeking with the arrow keys to become corrupt confirming that precise seeks are causing it.
Is there a way to make mouse seeks behave like relative? Or could someone using 369.14 show me their config?
I've already tried tinkering with--hr-seek-demuxer-offsetto no avail.
This is with NVIDIA driver 369.14, mpv works with 352.79 (which I don't want to install).
>>54722285
now your text is ok. Maybe it was a server thing
>>54722275
So I press shift+3 to cycle audio and j to cycle subs, but there's no display to see what I'm switching to.
Bravo.
>>54722304
>mpv cant

Neither of those settings changed either mouse or arrow key seeking.

Using the arrow keys works for me already, it's when I click on a random part in the video with the mouse that it glitches. I'm using a GTX 970.

nvidia proprietary drivers after 352 series broke vdpau in vlc and mpv precise seeking, I guess it works for mplayer because it doesn't have precise seeking? I don't know how would mplayer +smplayer react

You actually have hardware acceleration enabled right?

>>54722483
ok changingne.eventresponder["mouse_btn0_down"] = --exact seeks on single clicks
function (element) mp.commandv("seek", get_slider_value(element),

tone.eventresponder["mouse_btn0_down"] = --exact seeks on single clicks

>>54722903
It's the style of the fix, though.
If you change "exact" to "keyframes" in that code snippet then the entire code snippet has lost it's raison d'etre. Heck, just look at the comment.
>>54723031
right, change comment to keyframe seeks on single clicks. anyhow it doesn't really matter if it gets pushed or not, it turns out you get osc.lua from source and load it as a userscript with the "fix". no need to even compile
>>54723119
Holy shit it works.
I would have never been able to fix it myself, I've barely even used git before.

OpenGL is supplied separately in drivers.
