What's your excuse for not using the best video player?
>>55340862
I use it, when I get home I run 'mu', which ismpv all.pls
>>55340862
Any good scripts for using mpv? I have a bash script that allows me to paste in the url and play videos that way, but I don't know if any of you guys have anything more feature rich.
>>55340862
Mpc-hc just werk, why would i replace it?
>>55340862
What benefits does it offer compared to VLC? I don't care about the rendering quality.
>>55341104
https://www.videolan.org/developers/x265.html
>>55341043
If you prefer MPC-HC then there is no reason to replace it. A lot of people just say that mpv sucks because of the reasons listed above which aren't even true.
>>55341072
It's lightweight (faster than VLC) and offers a minimalist user interface that doesn't waste any space. Even if you don't care about rendering quality, it's much better in that regard. It's also more customizable. "Building Font Cache" bullshit will never happen with mpv.
>>55341189
Neither does fullscreen mode or Ctrl + H. Not sure what customization I'd need beyond a fully themed UI and the ability to remap any button or hotkey. Font caching only happens once, and it honestly doesn't bother me that much.
I'll stick to VLC, thanks.
>>55341272
>Neither does fullscreen mode or Ctrl + H.
What do you mean?
>Font caching only happens once, and it honestly doesn't bother me that much.
It should, it's ridiculous how long it takes
>>55341326
>What do you mean?
VLC's UI is already basic af, and you can remove window dressing by pressing Ctrl+H or (obviously) fullscreen.
If you prefer having no traditional UI, then good for you, but I at least want the option.
>it's ridiculous how long font caching takes
Well it can be disabled via a single option, if it bothers you THAT much, but then you might not have the correct font for your subtitles. This is an issue with insane subtitle format variety.
I'm actually curious how MPV deals with the same problem.
>>55341450
Pretty much this. Screenshot for reference.
Also, I torrented something and cleared VLC's font cache real quick to see how long it takes, but it didn't even happen. I guess it only applies to complex .ass subtitles and whatever, but I don't remember ever waiting more than 10-15 seconds for it. It's a minor annoyance at most, and you can disable it.

>>55344009
Yes, I truly believe that VLC Media Player is the best video and audio player I have ever used and I can reassure you that there are also thousands of people who can vouch for VLC Media Player.
I understand that the logo for VLC Media Player is an orange cone, but it isn't plastic. The orange cone is made out of a type of metal as it represents the stronger inner workings of the software itself (something that of which, other players have yet to grasp).
I do use it, but I'm not autistic so I have SMplayer

You can bind it to a global hotkey, so it saves you time. Also its kinda annoying having extra windows open.

You're right, but I was having some issues with youtube-dl not caching enough or not pulling fast enough and had buffer issues.
I guess I'll switch to it and try to play around with cache settings some more.

It's image viewer/editor program.

I currently use VLC and it's done what I need it to, I've experienced the artifacts and whatnot so I'm willing to move but I have a few problems.
Does MPV have a remote application on android that allows me to change playlists, access my library on my system and select YouTube videos to play from my mobile?
Is there something to emulate the library/playlist functionality? I'm going to assume it is because without that windows media player wins out and it's worse than freezing a fart and being smacked with it.

MPDN one is much better and is more efficient but it's probably because directx/d3d is much better than opengl.
I've been having a problem with youtube-dl on twitch streams for 5 months now, where the cache basically shits itself constantly, resulting in constant buffering. I tried playing around with cache settings to no avail. Livestreamer doesn't have this problem. What gives? Also, I'm on debian sid with the latest youtube-dl and mpv git-e40851e installed.
>>55365388
>MPDN one is much better and is more efficient
I highly doubt this desu
>>55365457
I have the same issue, so I just use livestreamer when I'm on twitch. No cache tweaking solved it for me.
>>55365494
ok it's just better not much better...
>>55365578
I just tried with --no-config and observed the cache a little. The cache fills initially for 10 sec, then it's played back until it empties, fills up 3-5 sec and then empties, fills up 3-5 seconds, etc. I guess I will try monitoring from the terminal next, with --verbose or something.
>>55365831
Yes the same hapens for me. Im on Arch, youtube-dl version 2016.06.25-1 with mpv 0.18.0-1

Don't you have a tech support call to be answering?
>>55365884
So, I just made a log file while streaming and the only thing (to me at least) that looks weird is that there are messages like the following consistently throughout the log:[ 46.776][v][vo/opengl/x11] Enabling screensaver.
[ 46.776][v][cplayer] Enter buffering.
[ 49.456][v][vo/opengl/x11] Disabling screensaver.
[ 49.463][v][cplayer] End buffering (waited 2.697218 secs).
Maybe it's something related to xdg-screensaver/xdg-utils? Also, surprisingly, no errors were logged. It's nighttime here, so I will check the thread again much later.
>>55366664
>buffering
sounds like your connection is too slow
>>55366737
I'm the other guy, but I have a 150Mb/s connection, and livestreamer is completely fine, so that is definitely not the issue.
>>55366766
Then twitch is probably just doing something stupid. When your cache fills up, mpv stops downloading, and if it resuming the download afterwards takes very long, you're screwed.
livestreamer might be doing something like limiting the rate at which it downloads and keeps downloading continuously or w/e
You could try just increasing the cache size dramatically. I have mine basically uncapped, so mpv will essentially buffer the entire video in advance. Apart from that I'm not really sure.
Either way, you can almost surely blame twitch for doing something stupid.
>>55366844
Yea twitch is doing some shitty stuff like giving certain people priority and more bandwidth over others because they create more revenue. The issues I had were also a short while ago so I'm gonna retest it all with currenty versions and increase the cache to like 2GB.
what are the default settings that "watch with mpv" add on for firefox uses? Will it open source quality on twitch?

You used to be able to upgrade ffmpeg without having to upgrade mpv. I've used builds of mpv that weren't built against the currently installed ffmpeg libraries many times without any trouble.
wm4 got angry and added an artificial restriction so if it detects different ffmpeg libraries installed than the ones mpv was compiled against mpv exits.
Say you have a build of ffmpeg and mpv, and you upgrade to the next commit in ffmpeg which just fixed a minor typo, now your mpv won't work because of this artificial restriction, even though it would work perfectly fine if it wasn't for the artificial restriction added.
I don't care personally, it's not an issue for me to rebuild mpv, but I'm just saying the main developer gets really angry sperg fits and then does stuff like this.

>>55368607
I think this all stems from an issue where a struct field that mpv uses changed positions between FFmpeg 3.0 and 3.1, which is somewhat concerning because anything can happen if struct fields are just moved around. I don't pretend to fully understand, but there is probably a lot of internal FFmpeg politics involved.
In any case, if mpv accesses fields that can be moved like that, it should definitely abort as soon as possible if the FFmpeg version doesn't exactly match the one it was compiled with. This will force distro maintainers to always update FFmpeg and mpv in step, which is the only sane thing to do in that case.

>>55341450
>I'm actually curious how MPV deals with the same problem.
It doesn't because it doesn't have to. libass has native backends for quite some time now, no fontcache required on Windows and OSX.
If your software still does this then it's severely outdated.

I'm not the one making shit complicated, youtube is.

Is this the video version of flacfags?
>>55373275
you can disable that
>>55373325
No shit, Sherlock.
>>55373314
Unfortunately not. Flac for playback is all about placebo, MadVR, or at least how "those people" use it, is actively ruining video quality.
MPV has no sense on windows, mpc is just better...but is so good on Linux with vdpau.
>>55342263
Which animu is that?
>>55344170
Only FLOSS audio player on Android that supports .opus files.
On PC it sucks for audio playing though when there are mpd+ncmpcpp and Clementine.

>I've used builds of mpv that weren't built against the currently installed ffmpeg libraries many times without any trouble.
nice anecdote, but it caused plenty of problems for other people
mpv takes like 5 seconds to rebuild, it's easier for a few people to rebuild mpv than it is for the mpv developers to sift through bug reports caused by ffmpeg ABI breakage
>>55370887
holy shit watching GUIfags makes me cringe
>>55373487
Hello Kiniro Mosaic
>>55373862
How would you have done it more efficiently without GUI?
>>55373377
VDPAU is a joke/mess
>>55373896
well for example, the way you navigate tabs is just sad to watch for somebody used to pentadactyl
instead of launching mpv, and dragging+dropping a URL onto it, and then repositioning mpv, I would have just double clicked the URL to select it and then used a key to invoke mpv on the current selection
plus, watching people reposition windows ever makes me cringe, it feels like such a cumbersome chore to somebody used to tiling wms
>>55373965
Congrats, you've saved up an whole second. Good job. Keep it that way! Not to mention you've probably spent two hours configuring tiling WM.
>>55373965
Seems like a little personal preference comes in here but.. Fair enough, more valid and well written post than the previous 'ur dum' posts.
Thanks.
>>55374019
Spending 2 hours configuring a tiling wm is like spending 2 hours making it so that you don't need to prick yourself with a needle every time you want to open a new tab.
Sure, it might be a second more efficient, but that's not the reason people do it. Time is only an added benefit.
The point is comfort. Your computer should be the most comfortable and relaxing thing to use. Without a tiling WM, everything just feels uncomfortable, clumsy and clunky. It's like trying to solve a maths problem on a paper that keeps moving itself.
>>55340862
Why should I download this when I have MPC-HC? Seriously, MPC already supports all video files I'd ever watch and it looks great.
You can't make me change
>>55374151
oops I'm still trippin'
>>55373843
And does your average computer user wish to recompile their media player just so that they can watch Stuart Little and some porn? No, not really.
Since there is no mpv general I'll ask it here: Why does the mpv I compiled from github ignore everything in my /scripts and /lua-settings? It uses input.conf and mpv.conf but unlike the version from the repo no scripts, not even the OSC options.
>>55374087
I totally understand you.
Hell, even I might set up tiling WM myself.
But now on 720p monitor it feels so clumsy.
Maybe it's just a matter of habit, dunno.
>>55374151
Well, whenever you're shit breaks. You'll know that other media players do exist.
>>55374304
Thanks, pal. It is mainly laziness for me. I don't want to have to pick/setup a new MPV GUI or hotkey system.
The same reason I use VLC is the same reason I'm still using WinSCP, even though I'm on Linux.
Change is not for me.
>>55373510
you can actually play .opus files in chrome, but not in play music... watthefuck google
>>55374576
Really? Weird. Ordinary web browser is better in music playing than their music player. WTF.
Also, obligatory:
>using botnet
no thank you.
>>55374215
Does your average computer user recompile and install a new version of FFmpeg? No.
The average computer user uses windows and VLC. So I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to argue here.
Point is, this only really affects package maintainers and nobody else. And those package maintainers now have to spend 5 seconds building a new package. End of story, big whoop.
>>55374652
That is exactly what I'm trying to argue here.
VLC just works, just like Windows, OS X, and Ubuntu.
Nobody cares about using an application just because it is SLIGHTLY better after you customize it. Nobody cares about compiling their OS from source. Nobody cares about any of that shit.
People just want to watch their movies and wank.
>>55374699
2 Rupees have been added to your VLC account.
>>55374699
And that average user never compiles either mpv or ffmpeg, that user is just going to download whatever the package manager provides or a compiled windows binary.
This only really affects those who think they know a lot but really don't. (Aka Gentoo users)
>>55374771
I legit don't know how to compile desu
>>55374771
>This only really affects those who think they know a lot but really don't. (Aka Gentoo users)
I see you have never really used gentoo in the history of ever
>>55374771
EXACTLY. What the fuck, dude? I'm saying, "dude just compile it and its fine lol :PPppppoOO:O:P" isn't a compelling reason to switch from VLC.
NO ONE ACTUALLY CARES ENOUGH TO COMPILE THEIR MEDIA PLAYER; THEY JUST WANT TO BEAT THEIR MEAT.
>>55374771
Not a Gentoo user, but that shit is even hard to install if you don't have popular hardware.
I spent an hour connecting it to the internet.
I installed it after circa 5 hours.
But hell, installation isn't even the most difficult part, it's the maintaining the system itself. I realised I'm too stupid/lazy for that shit and just gave up and installed Arch.
Respect to all Gentoo users out there, you know your shit about GNU/Linux.
>>55374805
I know that the biggest group of people affected by this are arch AUR users and similar people, but from their characteristics I just lump both into the same group. Same shit in the end, and Gentoo is shorter and more well known than the AUR.
What's a decent preset for T420 with intel GPU?
>>55375064
Yeah but Gentoo's portage actually has a mechanism specifically designed to let packages depend on an exact built version. So if you upgrade ffmpeg in gentoo, it will rebuild mpv *automatically*. (The same is useful, for example, when static linking - since upgrading a library requires rebuilding all of the packages that statically link it. This is where the mechanism came from, actually)
Sure, it affects AUR hipsters who think they know how to run a distro, but actually decent package managers are unaffected.
>>55340862
No GUI.
>>55362644
How do I use it as an image viewer?
>>55375811
I use this configuration
https://gist.github.com/haasn/7919afd765e308fa91cbe19a64631d0f
>>55376078
Thank you. I'm probably just retarded but it's not working for me. I put the .lua in my scripts folder, and the input-image.conf where my main mpv and input configs are, but the images still just open for about a second and then disappears.
>>55376217$ alias mvi='mpv --profile=image'
$ mvi FILE.png
>>55376267
Probably should have mentioned I'm a Windows shitter.
>>55376275
All hope is lost.
>>55376267
sup haasn
>>55376078
>>55376267
Is it possible to edit the mpv.conf so that a script activates when you open a certain filetype? So if I open an image, image.lua activates along with its input file?
>>55340862
>What's your excuse for not using the best video player?
VLC is good enough.
>>55376474
yes[extension.png]
profile=image
[extension.jpg]
profile=image
...
but it's tedious
>>55376614
it also doesn't work for opening image links, since extensions in URLs don't count
>>55376614
>>55376625
it also don't let you e.g. change keybindings, since those need to be set before any file is loaded
>>55376625
>since extensions in URLs don't count
actually they do
>>55340862
>>55376640
Yeah this is the important part. Is it solvable or am I fucked?
>>55376764
Well if you need to make file associations you can make a small script to run mpv and then use that as your binary, e.g.#!/bin/sh
mpv --profile=image $@
(translate this to whatever stupid shell syntax your snowflake OS uses)
>>55376709
>he doesn't configure his video players
>>55376849
>$@
Quote your variables brosep.
>>55376895
sorry, I'm too used to zsh and keep forgetting that /bin/sh is a stupid piece of shit
>>55340862
Except it is true. i can't even open a file from inside mpv, I have to navigate to it and then open the file.
Want a playlist of movies? Fuck you.
Want controls other than play, pause and scrubbing? Fuck you again.
Want to be able to use the software? Time to learn shortcuts.
Granted I can play most anime using mpv, but since Baka mplayer exists, there's no reason for stock mpv. As soon as I stop getting screen tearing with BMP, I'll have a good video player.
