Just started using mpv after trying it a few times without switching.
Why is the default settings for the OSC so shitty?
A lot more newbies would stick with mpv if they didn't have to read the manual to get the OSC to be good, I assumed you couldn't change it the first time I tried the player but now I've switched the OSC to the bar style and it's easily the best looking player I've tried out of VLC, MPC-HC and Potplayer.

Don't know if it will change something about this performance issue.

For me on windows, the best is to use the autospeedwin lua script with nircmd in the path.
Fucking perfect playback without any dropped frames.
Seems better than madvr with display modes and reclock.

And I use the rorgoroth's builds because there are more updated than the official ones.

yeah.
Or at least make the default OSC bubble smaller and closer to the bottom (which you can also do manually in the conf).
I'm just saying the default bubble that covers such a large portion of the player seems really off-putting to be the default, could just be me though.

I moved from MPC-HC just recently and I'm an utter casual retard who can't do anything in a terminal.

From my experience so far the advantages are:
1. it's portable, you can just drop your folder with your configs across devices and it will just werk
2. it's pretty minimalistic (which some might like, some might not)
3. once you get your settings right it looks sleek and feels like your OS' native player, as in this is what it should be by default.
4. The settings require your to read up on them, but once you do they all make perfect sense and are quite flexible.
For example I set webms but only webms to loop and they do so perfectly.
Then I set a minimum vertical %age of the screen for files to stretch to (for all those tiny webms and old videos) and a max vertical/horizontal %age for large videos so the window is always within the space that I'd typically want it.
MPC-HC and potplayer have a similar feature but it's based on pixels, where as since this is percentage based I can move my folder onto a device with a smaller resolution and it will behave the same.
It's just little neat things like that that I think make it shine.
I've only used it for a few days but it's really just good.

tl,dr: minimalist, functional, portable, make it behave EXACTLY how you want.

>>51718017

>>
>>51718017
I use mpc-hc with Lavfilters, and I have a gtx 960. I use hardware decoding for everything, lavfilters are very, very good.
I cannot notice the tiniest difference in picture quality compared to cpu decoding.
The main advantage of gpu assisted decoding is that you have a much lower energy impact on your CPU. That is why tiny, cheap htpcs can show 4k 10bit HEVC streams without breaking a sweat, provided you have a gtx 960.
In other words: if your machine is strong enough cpu-wise, you can disable hwdec.
Or you could compare the picture quality with with hwdec on/off yourself and see if you notice a difference. (beware: 10bit x264 animu is not supported by hardware decoding)

I recently switched to MPC-HC from VLC. The colors are more true but the color gradients in dark scenes is godawful. Going back to VLC makes everything look like I'm watching through a thin pale mist, which might be what covers up the banding, but the banding is bad enough in MPC-HC for it to bother me.

That's why I'm here, trying to find out if it's worth the autism to switch. I wouldn't recommend MPC-HC after using it. Also the icon for it is really, really shitty.

This is fast enough for reliable display-resample at 48Hz refresh with medium speed manual GPU power management (radeon.dpm=0 boot parameter, echo mid > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile), so the fan is constant speed and not too annoying.

I dualboot arch and windows for gaymen

recently installed mpv on windows because I was too l azy to restart

watching anime my laptop starts to fucking stutter and lag, mind you mpv runs fucking fantastic on arch, even with just integrated graphics even though my windows install has full use of my 960m

is the windows build just shit or what
>>
>>51732013
The Windows version of mpv is at the mercy of Windows' shitty OpenGL implementation. The devs don't want to maintain two renderers (D3D and GL,) so it has to be GL. Upcoming builds will have some workarounds for Windows GL problems, possibly including an ANGLE backend.

In the meantime, you could try playing with the dwmflush suboption. --vo=opengl:dwmflush=off or --vo=opengl:dwmflush=windowed might help. Also try switching display-sync on or off. If all else fails, there is also --vo=direct3d.

I registered an mpv:// protocol so I could just call it with anything, so long as I prepend it with "mpv://" it gets sent to mpv. This video is old, I made the script prettier and made sure to get the video url directly so it doesn't show the api key but that's not the point, it just opens a tab with "mpv://http://site.con/video.mp4" which sends it to mpv, then it closes the tab before it should be noticed.

>>51734878
              The  default is --audio-channels=auto, which tries to play audio using the input file's channel layout. (Or more precisely, the output of the
audio filter chain.) (empty is an accepted obsolete alias for auto.)

This will also request the channel layout from the decoder. If the decoder does not support the layout, it will fall back to its native chan‐
nel layout. (You can use --ad-lavc-downmix=no to make the decoder always output its native layout.) Note that only some decoders support
remixing audio. Some that do include AC-3, AAC or DTS audio.

If the channel layout of the media file (i.e. the decoder) and the AO's channel layout don't match, mpv will attempt to insert a conversion
filter.

> VLC plays everything.

People really should stop saying that.
While it is technically correct, it implies two fundamentally wrong things:

1. It implies that it is exclusive to VLC (and the result of the VLC developers' work). If VLC can play everything that's because it's based on FFmpeg (just like mpv!), and any FFmpeg frontend will be able to do the same (that includes virtually every open source media playing backend)
It's like saying you use a Ford rather than another make of car because Ford car have four wheels

2. It implies that decoding videos is all there is to making a media player. Being able to render it properly (that includes color management, scaling), as well as peripheral parts of a video (such as subtitles) is just as important, and even if it improved over the last several years, VLC is lacking in those departments (you can't use the video margins to place your subtitles if you're using .srt files for instance).

Bomi could, but IIRC that one's not developed any more (and since it's a fork rather than a front end the mpv provided would be a bit old)
Baka Mplayer can IIRC (though they may have to be from the same folder. Baka Mplayer's weird)
Smplayer can (though it's not a proper mpv front end)
Gnome-mpv also can IIRC (but since it's designed for gnome shell, expect some really minimal interface)

Not exactly. It's not like anyone else has a better source while it's airing. webrips > tvrips. The only time you'll see better than HS is when the show came out on bluray and a different group is subbing that. e.g. coalgirls
