Cool post. maybe move it to a wiki page though, where it belongs.
if only it could have a fucking GUI instead of being a shit
use baka mplayer instead same internals, with a gui

I don't know why he named his project mpC-qt, why it makes things very ambiguous.
I hope xylosper will release a new bomi release soon with recent mpv features.
It is still the best gui for video player I have ever seen.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>54068195
>jinc
why? you should change it to ewa_lanczos
How to get it work with SVP?
>>54068577
it's just shorter :^)
ewa_lanczos is an alias of jinc (also known as jinc-windowed jinc)
in the same way
lanczos is an alias of sinc (aka sinc-windowed sinc)
>>54068687
nope
jinc is jinc
ewa_lanczos is jinc-windowed jinc
>>54068614
Apparently you have to pay for the pro version of SVP to use it with mpv on Windows.
(This is also a GPL violation, since mvtools2 is GPLv2+.)
>>54067136
Not him, but will quality suffer if you deband one of those autismo releases?
>>54068792
In theory yes, but with mpv deband defaults it's unnoticeable, unless you're really sensitive to grain, even then it's pretty hard to notice
>>54068842
Okay, I guess I'll just leave it on constantly then.
>>54063226
IIRC it doesn't build on Windows yet, but it doesn't seem like porting it will be too difficult.

>>54063226
Also here's a screenshot of it running on Linux. There are parts of it that don't seem quite polished yet, but overall, I think it's promising. I'm hype for a decent mpv frontend that exposes all the advanced opengl options.
>>54068786
That sucks. Is there no way around it? No alternative software to SVP?
>>54069167
I think the regular vapoursynth-mvtools works with mpv, but I'm not sure if it's fast enough for realtime playback and you'd have to compile a bunch of stuff yourself since the regular mpv builds don't come with vapoursynth support.

>>54069504
Yes sure...
>>54069504
Depends on what you'd think is noticeable, but sure there are some things that would be different even without scaling, like debanding and shit.
>>54069519
Are you being ironic?
>>54069538

I meant if I can notice the difference with my eyes, and not with an image comparison software.

What's your opinion?
Which is the best for mpv?
>>54069749

Does it mean we finally have algo like SuperRes, SSimDownscaler or Bilateral inside mpv?
What's the difference with the MPDN extensions system?
>>54075347
Now we need good prescalers...
>>54075555
>Does it mean we finally have algo like SuperRes, SSimDownscaler or Bilateral inside mpv?
In theory, yes. Still some kinks to work out and obviously it needs to be exposed to external scripts.
It would help if I knew more closely what kind of requirements SuperRes, SSimDownscaler or Bilateral actually have.
But in the general sense, you can now make flexible user scripts that 1. have multiple passes, 2. change the size/offset of what they're operating on, 3. do something different for different plane types, and 4. save temporary results and re-use them later
>What's the difference with the MPDN extensions system?
I have no idea. I haven't really looked at their extensions system, so all I know theirs is written in C# (with individual shaders also being C# plugins).
In the case of mpv I would make shaders live in a self-contained DSL that the C code parses and interprets at runtime.
Hook?

Why does mpv perform better on Linux? Using the same configs (opengl and nothing else) my shitty old Celeron laptop drops less frames in high quality videos on Linux than Windows 10.

The autocrop script, then that script to disable scaling if there video resolution of close to the screen resolution, the subtitles thing through config but why would you do that? Its only a good idea if all you watch is live action
Using Baka MPlayer on Windows, should I just be dropping config stuff into Baka MPlayer/mpv/mpv.conf?
>>54075673
c# script only sets shaders and theirs variables (calculates them if needed).
>what kind of requirements SuperRes, SSimDownscaler or Bilateral actually have.
I think Bilateral has the same requirements as SuperRes + chroma size and chroma offset
>>54068716
That is slightly confusing
is Jinc tensor? if true EWA_Lanczos and Jinc window=jinc are therefore not equivalent in output
>>54080328

also I forgot that SuperRes operates on rgb image and Bilateral on separated luma and chroma (requires original)
>>54076129
>Why does mpv perform better on Linux?
Microsoft pays GPU companies to artificially gimp their Windows-based OpenGL/Vulkan drivers so that DirectX 11/12 looks better in comparison.
On Linux, there's no real incentive to compete, so you get the full OpenGL/Vulkan performance out of them.
>>54080997
not true, nvidia's opengl performance is approximately the same as directx
>>54081014
But e.g. Vulkan on Windows 10 is significantly slower compared to Direct3D 11 on Windows 10.
Meanwhile, Vulkan on Linux is much faster, faster than both of those. (Using nvidia drivers)
>>54081067
don't know about vulkan, I'm talking about opengl.
and his problem is probably his cpu, cuz he uses just vo=opengl

>How do you play porn without it?
I tend to run something along the lines ofmpv *.mp4
But yeah, there is a plugin (autoload.lua) that does what you want.
>>54081818
found it
for anyone interested in answer to this
put this in to ~/.config/mpv/scripts
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/lua/autoload.lua
>>54081904
yeah, found it
and I really wish you all dead terminal monkeys
>>54081904
You can also just play the entire directory in mpv, e.g.mpv ~/movies/3dpd.
mpv will recursively add files to the playlist when opening a directory.
>>54081907
mpv is for terminal monkeys, fampai. If you don't like it, install VLC.
>>54081926

>>54081945
I guess you should either write your own mpv GUI or install Windows and MPC-HC.
>>54081818
>>54081907
You could also just select all the files in the directory and right click -> open with mpv on them all. (doesn't need CLI)
You could also right click the directory and -> open with mpv. (doesn't need CLI)
autoload.lua is literally so pointless since there are a billion ways to do this even for GUI babbies.

I thought I was ready for it
I prepared myself to this
I knew it was coming
It happened so many times before
yet when it finally comes the stupidity still hits me like a canon ball
I just ... I can not..
one says code your own shit or fuck off
other has problem grasping benefits of automation, avoiding the need to do bunch of useless actions, every, single, time, when you want to play more than a single video
>>54082049
>bunch of useless actions
lmao, because clicking on the folder instead of the video is really hard
so is pressing ctrl+a or dragging the mouse across the screen when you want to select all files. These sure are hard, complicated tasks. I sure am glad we live in 2016 and have automagic scripts to do the job for us.
>problem grasping benefits of automation
I've just dealt with technology for long enough to understand that automation for the sake of automation is a bad thing and has an uncanny ability to explode in your face.
(For example, autoplay.py might suddenly start queueing up all sorts of unrelated shit, sample files, or whatever - even when you *don't* want this behavior. Just for the sake of subtracting 0.5 seconds from your computing experience in the few cases that you *do* want the functionality)
Automation only serves a point when the task it automates is menial and cumbersome. Automation for the sake of automation is like programs trying to be smart for the sake of being smart.
and you know what? I fucking HATE those programs
>>54082049
Well, if what you want (a good GUI for mpv) doesn't exist, you have three options:
>do a bunch of useless actions every single time
>code your own shit
>fuck off
Of course, you could also complain about it on 4chan, but that doesn't _solve_ your problem.
>>54082119
I know its hard to understand
but if you get used to such automation
the extra actions feel bothersome, menial, waste of time
but since most of you are terminal monkeys its very likely that you actually dont bother with a single file playback at all
I would not
even with zsh tab completion I would just pass directory name or *
>automation for the sake of automation
except its actually for the sake efficiency
why would it be for the sake of automation?
is it jus some clumsy attempt to disregard it?
so I have porn folder Hitomi Tanaka and I want to watch some porn with her
isnt the most straight forward, the easiest, most comfy way to just go in an open whatever file with single enter in my file manager?
hey, there might be subfolders and categories, but its likely that theres some organizational structure in them and some grouping
then you want to watch some series, isnt it again the easiest to go and open a file and continue to next episode when previous ends, or moving to next if you choose wrong one by mistake?
its same automation as having subtitles loaded at start if present..
>>54063190
>>54081945

>hey, there might be subfolders and categories, but its likely that theres some organizational structure in them and some grouping
This is actually a great example of how limiting autoload.lua is.
If you have an entire folder like saySomeAlbum
SomeAlbum/CD1
SomeAlbum/CD1/track1.flac
...
SomeAlbum/CD1/trackN.flac
SomeAlbum/CD2
SomeAlbum/CD2/track2.flac
...
SomeAlbum/CD2/trackN.flac
Then you can't “play SomeAlbum” using autoload.lua alone, it would only load tracks from the same top-level directory (CD1 or CD2).
Meanwhile, if you just rightclick -> play in mpv on the “SomeAlbum” directory mpv would play the entire collection of tracks.
>>54082299

Why does madshi thinks he invented the algos in madVR? He only implement them, most of them were researched by some fucks at random universities, and implement first by the imagemagick guys, the weird things like SSIMDownscaling and "Bilateral" were invented by guys at Doom9, or implement by them if some researcher invented them before, like NLMeans denoising
What the fuck is going on with madshi? Is he this mad that wm4 is getting paid by Plex? He isn't even the autismo behind most of mpv's opengl renderer

Please don't be so stupid.
Sure mpv is good but it needs some years to be as good as madvr.

At this rate madshi will end up becoming a lolcow

Is he really using delphi for madvr development?
Could you prove it?
>>54082940
Unfortunately that's pretty true, TAK is a lossless codec that beats the shit out of every other lossless codec, unfortunately is closed source
The author doesn't want to open it since "everything would end up in FLAC", even though the bitstream has been frozen for like a decade now, just like madshi says that he wouldn't open source madVR since other projects would adopt madVR features
TAK still doesn't support unicode files, nor it is able to be compiled in 64 bit, since the authors Delphi is really fucking old
Still a great codec though
>>54082954
>madFlac is written in Delphi. However, writing a video renderer goes a lot deeper than writing a "simple" decoder. That's why I (reluctantly) chose C++ for the video renderer. There's a reason why madVR ships with many dlls and a madHcCtrl.exe. They're all written in Delphi. Only madVR.ax itself is written in C++.
>>54082714
That's comedy gold. It's also a pretty good example of why I don't trust propriety freeware. If you're a hobby developer and you write a program because you think it will be useful for yourself and you release it because it might be useful to others, you make it FOSS. If someone forks your code and makes it better, that's good for your users and good for you. If you're just in it for your ego and you don't give a shit about your users, except for how well they can stroke your ego, you have to keep the source code a secret, because if some other guy does something with the source code, people will be stroking his ego and not yours.
>>54082999
*proprietary
>>54082999
Don't forget that some Russian monkeys make money from open source software.
They don't give a fuck of licence at all and live in superb house with tons of expensive things.
>>54083056
If someone was that paranoid about people taking their code and putting it in shitty GPL-violating software, I'd say they still had ego problems. Who cares? The benefits of FOSS outweigh the risks.
Also, if someone didn't care about copyright law, they could make money out of proprietary freeware as well. Just wrap it in a adware installer and host it on one of those fake download sites with ads.
>>54083056
>>54083222
The problem is not the fact that they're selling software that blatantly violates the GPL. The problem is that people give them money despite this.
The greatest failure of free software is when people ignore its existence and pay for proprietary, locked-down or even illegal garbage instead.
>>54083489
Good thing you can literally sue them to shit
Unfortunately the MVTools dev doesn't really care, and to add injury SVP is based in Russia so it's harder to sue them. though at least they aren't chinks, there's nothing you can do against chinks who violate the GPL
>>54083598
>and to add injury SVP is based in Russia so it's harder to sue them.
The server is hosted in the U.S., though, so legally the distribution is taking place there no?
At the very least we could force them to relocate to russia I guess
>>54083489
>>54083598
I don't think the law is going to help us here. We're too small to sue somebody; copyright law only protects those with big pockets.
End users have these lines of defense:
1. Education
Make it clear to the fact that SVP is a shady business selling illegal software, and why that software is illegal + give attribution to the true developer.
If you can get people to stop using a counterfeit product out of ethical, moral or legal concerns, you can hurt the distributor.
2. Incentive
The easiest way to get people to stop using proprietary software is to make free alternatives that are better. MVTools exists but people prefer SVP because SVP included performance improvements to make it work in realtime.
If we can implement our own version of these performance improvements in MVTools, the incentive for people to give money to SVP will diminish.

Cool player. I've been using VLC for as long as I can remember, but you've opened my eyes to this one. One thing I instantly found is that there is no cropping support. For instance, I have a ripped copy of Apocalypse Now Redux Bluray and since it is 2.35:1 and in VLC you can just crop it to that. Am I missing something?
>>54087262
https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-video-zoom
https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-video-aspect
1 year ago /g/ said mpc is the best, now we have mpv threads.
So what is it, nerds?
>>54087262
If the video itself has encoded black bars, the best thing to use is the autocrop.lua script in order to detect and remove them automatically.
>>54087310
Aha Thanks. Does it autodetect the black bars and ask to crop at the right aspect ration, or does it just stay at 16:9 and 2.35:1?
>>54087262
or just use 'w' 'e' and shift a
>>54087509
On VLC or UMPlayer? And what does this do?
>>54087262
You watch widescreen films cropped to 16:9?
>>54088148
it's just how the blurays are encoded, I think it has something to do with watching on bluray players or something.
>>54088347
bluray videos are typically 1920x1080, most movies are wider, so they get black bars at the top and bottom (so the picture ends up ~1920x800)
(yes, that means most movies on bluray are actually only ~800p)
now this makes no difference on a 16:9 display, you get the bars as intended and the picture touches the left and right sides, you should only need to crop on wider screens, where the encoded black bars prevent the player from making the most of the width
>>54088647

There's no point in encoding black bars ever. Even on a 16:9 screen, encoding black bars will make things harder for the player.
For example, suppose you have a player that can top-align the image and move subtitles to the bottom. Not possible with hard-coded black bars.
Also, chroma subsampling, low bitrates or color encoding errors can mean the black bars actually appear dark gray or contain phantom information or color bleeds into them.
You'll also get ringing artifacts around them when uspcaling.
In general, only bad things happen when you hard-code black bars. Just don't ever do it. And if you're making a re-encode, strip the black bars that any previous encoders have erroneously added.
>>54088782
that too
>>54088804
i completely agree, i wish they were smarter and actually used a non-1:1 DAR which literally everything else supports. that is, strech the 2.35:1 image to 16:9, and tell the player to stretch it back, that way you make full use of the available vertical resolution
DVD's did this for 16:9 content, so why the fuck couldn't bluray?
i do my own encodes fairly often, and of course i strip bars and use appropriate aspect tags, so there's never any confusion on the playback side, nor am i wasting bits on useless black bars
>>54088914
>DVD's did this for 16:9 content, so why the fuck couldn't bluray?
it was too hard for java monkeys
>>54088914
>i completely agree, i wish they were smarter and actually used a non-1:1 DAR which literally everything else supports. that is, strech the 2.35:1 image to 16:9, and tell the player to stretch it back
If you're doing that then you might as well just encode the 2.35:1 bitstream to begin with and get more consistent quality + easier processing.
>>54089043
where possible, sure, but this is assuming the format has limited resolution(s)
like dvd can only be 720x480@30/1.001fps (ntsc) or 720x576@25fps (pal), as well as a handful of lower resolutions
none are 16:9, so you either have to add bars or use tags to tell the player what the real ratio is
i'm not certain which out of "allow any arbitrary resolution under X width and X height" and "allow arbitrary aspect ratio tags and have the hardware stretch it" is easier to implement on "as-cheap-as-possible" hardware
i'd personally prefer they went for the latter, that way the image at least uses the most of the possible resolution, as mentioned before, most movies are only released as 800p because of this, where they could have used all 1080 lines, which one could benefit from with higher-than-1920x1080 displays
>>54089316
>like dvd can only be 720x480@30/1.001fps (ntsc) or 720x576@25fps (pal), as well as a handful of lower resolutions
Yeah but that's a stupid standard.
Instead of making the official standard “All videos must be 1920x1080 and if your aspect ratio is different you must encode black bars” you could easily make the official standard “All videos must be a subset of 1920x1080 that touches the edge at one side (e.g. 1920x823 or 1440x1080)”.
>i'm not certain which out of "allow any arbitrary resolution under X width and X height" and "allow arbitrary aspect ratio tags and have the hardware stretch it" is easier to implement on "as-cheap-as-possible" hardware
Adding black bars is basically free. Stretching video is very expensive.
>>54089316
>>54089043
oh yea, and don't get me started on shitty dvd-rips which go full retard and do 720x405 or 640x360, /lowering/ the source resolution to make the ratio 1:1, rather than keeping the original resolution and tagging them as 16:9, fuck them all
>>54089398
>Adding black bars is basically free. Stretching video is very expensive.
comparatively, i suppose, but on a chip that can decode 1080p h264 video in real time, surely something like a hardware bilinear resampler can't be that big of an ask on top?
>>54089476
>bilinear
now you're asking for trouble
What the fuck? Isn't this the exact fucking reason why you would ever use hardware decoding?
>>54090527
Somewhat badly worded, what it means is that you should use vo=opengl with hwdec=vaapi instead of vo=vaapi (if you want hardware decoding).
>>54090579
That is pretty fucking terribly worded. Does using vo=opengl and hwdec=vaapi work if I just stick it into the .config/mpv/mpv.conf? It keeps telling me that it's using software decoding when I turn verbose on.
>>54086468
You are right. The gpl is enforced.
>>54090628
>Does using vo=opengl and hwdec=vaapi work if I just stick it into the .config/mpv/mpv.conf?
Are you using an intel GPU and is the source file supported by the hardware decoder?
If I have a freesync monitor, is there a way to get it to interact with mpv so that when I'm playing 24fps videos, the display will drop to 48Hz?
>>54090687
It should be. This USB install was made for i5/7 CPUs, so those should all have Intel HD graphics. My videos are all mostly h264 or whatever the popular codec is.

this is mine for instance:

and vid filters:scale=ewa_lanczossharp:cscale=ewa_lanczossharp:dscale=ewa_lanczossharp:prescale-luma:superxbr:deband=no:interpolat

also the mpv devs fucking with the smplayer installer because "wahhhh you arent what we want" and "you didnt implement our brand new super duper feature that only 0.0001% of people use" is bullshit. if people want to use smplayer as front end, let them, dont fuck with their installer because you're a manchild
>>54099171
They were pulling the binaries from the mpv page without authorization from the owner, just from a bandwidth perspective that's wrong
>>54099182
saving their users a step during install.. now they just tell the users to pull the binaries themselves and end up using the same bandwidth...

>you didnt implement our brand new super duper feature that only 0.0001% of people use
It's not about features. The mpv devs support Baka MPlayer, and it barely exposes any mpv-specific features at all. The problem with SMPlayer is the interface it uses to communicate with mpv. The interface it uses (slave mode) was deprecated and then removed by the mpv devs. It was replaced with two new interfaces (JSON IPC and libmpv,) which were both specifically designed for SMPlayer's use case, yet SMPlayer didn't adopt either of them. Instead, out of laziness, SMPlayer started simulating slave mode with --input-file and hacks. Controlling mpv in this way is error-prone and impossible to do correctly. After a bunch of SMPlayer-specific bugs were created on mpv's issue tracker, that fake build was released to try to stop users from using mpv in SMPlayer.
Also, MPlayer and mpv really differ in semantics. For example, MPlayer will unpause on every slave mode command. SMPlayer seems to hack around this so the player doesn't unpause when changing the volume, but adding an audio filter will make SMPlayer/MPlayer unpause. mpv on the other hand, does not have this behaviour, and the semantics of a lot of other basic input commands are also quite different, so it's not a good idea to support both MPlayer and mpv in the same frontend.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Please leave windows support and focus on android!

Laptops for sure. On desktop machines it can still save power.
Problem with current DXVA is that the API is a piece of shit. DirectX 11 improves the situation. It's important for quality, mostly, but also for performance.
