Mpv general

bump

mpv plays video pretty ok

Is the deband option good?

can somebody teach me how to change the default save location in this script? which line do I have to change?
github.com/ElegantMonkey/mpv-webm

-- If empty, saves on the same directory of the playing video.
-- A starting "~" will be replaced by the home dir.
output_directory = "",

nevermind, I figured it out, I should have used \\ instead of \ when pasting the path for fuck all reason.

so why is mpv better than VLC ?

By far

Because that's how strings work in lua. Alternatively, use /, they're valid path separators on windows.

If you're on a mac IINA is superior, highly recommended

any of you guys know how to fix these awful rainbow-like gradients?

ps don't suggest debanding, these aren't bands.

is it possible to call a function from one script in another while reusing the existing instance?
example:

script1.lua
local result = something_complex_that_takes_lots_of_time_to_complete()

function do_stuff_that_takes_almost_no_time_to_complete()
--do stuff using result (without modifying it's value)
end

mp.register_event('some_event', do_stuff_that_takes_almost_no_time_to_complete)

call_script1.lua
script1 = ... ?
script1.do_stuff_that_takes_almost_no_time_to_complete()

I'd rather avoid calculating result again

Shitty on android.

Where do I start with contributing to MPV? Is there a todo list or something?

just go trough open issues on github and search for ones with no one assigned

github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/Stuff-to-do

Thanks, I love you

How do I do this properly?
ytdl-raw-options=write-auto-sub= # auto translate subtitles
ytdl-raw-options=sub-lang 'it, Italian'= # youtube subs language

ytdl-raw-options=sub-lang="en,eng,enUS,en-US",write-auto-sub=

Here, this should work. If it doesn't... well, maybe someone else will help you - I'm off to sleep.

Eh turns out sub-lang isn't needed if you already have "slang" in mpv.conf. The write-auto-sub shit is unusable though, makes mpv take a millenium to load up which is a shame, I thought it would ask to translate the subs only if it didn't find any of the ones specified in slang

i installed mplayer on debian stable and now i have mpv. is this the new version of mplayer or something? is mplayer a transitional package now?

>mpvis a GPLv2-licensed fork of mplayer2 and effectively its successor.
development of mplayer is dead so most people switched to mpv.

Is anyone working on a switch port yet?

What version of lua does the latest git master use?

VLC used to have playback issues but I don't think it does anymore. MPV is way more configurable and you can script it completely to your comfort, it's generally faster in both loading and seeking files. but not like any of that matters if you're a person who just hit play and don't touch it again, use whatever you like.

How do I get mpv to play raw binary data?
E.g:
$ dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1M count=10 > out.raw
$ mpv out.raw
Failed to recognize file format.

Exiting... (Errors when loading file)
Works fine in VLC.

I use MPC HC + madVR + LAVfilters and something else. I am I watching anime right Jow Forums?

What's a good low-quality vo profile? If I open several webms at a time for fapping playback gets pretty choppy on my computer.

>mp4 shitter group
No.

nope, Jow Forums only accepts mpv
use mpv or gtfo

[protocol.webm]
profile=low-latency

actually, instead of calling one script from another, calling the function by command line args would be fine foo

do i have to make my own folder for the configs?
I just want to play videos in relatively higher quality but I am unsure if it automatically does the higher settings out of the box

no

Anyone?

Yes

Hopefully madshi didn't give up like haasn.

scripts run in separate Lua states, not possible

it looks like chroma banding to me

maybe
take a look at the "script-message-to" command, and the mp.register_script_message function
one of the thumbnail scripts used it too
github.com/bun-dev/mpv-thumbPreview

How does ffplay compare to mpv?

Now, that's exactly what I've been looking for, thanks. Works wonders.

Now I have more questions though:
-what is the order of script execution?
Can I be sure that a script from the scripts\ directory will execute before one passed via command line args? Tried it several times and it works, but this may be a coincidence.
-what is faster, script binding or script message? Since I have to use message anyways, I was considering removing my binding and replace it with script message.

Why mpv misses two shared libraries after building it with mpv-build?

MPV keeps ignoring my ytdl-format resolution setting I out in the config and defaults to 360p. What gives?

I like playlist. Well Jow Forums. Do you?

post config

profile=opengl-hq
deband=no
hwdec=no
scale=ewa_lanczossharp
cscale=ewa_lanczos
video-sync=display-resample
interpolation
tscale=oversample
keep-open=yes
ytdl-format='best[height

meant for

1) try without quotes
2) change

your ytdl-format only works for non-DASH videos, change it to
ytdl-format="bestvideo[height

you can put profile=protocol.https until your http profile to save copying it twice

I would use
ytdl-format="bestvideo[height

W-where is haasn?

Is this project still active? Serious question, I don't come often to mpv threads.

Well, the last build is from December 2017 on mpv.srsfckn.biz/

there are two links on the mpv download page, try clicking the second.

hwdec=cuda-copy doesn't seem to work on that.

Just to be sure, you're talking about this build, right? sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/64bit/mpv-x86_64-20180421-git-65f0825.7z/download

If it's so great, explain why I'm using MPC HC?

>mpv-x86_64-20180421-git-65f0825.7z
Yes

maybe there's an event fired when mpv has finished loading all scripts, then you could use that as a "main", idk. i wouldn't rely on execution order
don't know about the second

yeah, I guess that's 'idle' - it fires way too late for what I want to do though

as for now I have this:
idle_load_random_background.lua:
local mp = require 'mp'
local utils = require 'mp.utils'

local path = 'waifus'
local files = utils.readdir(path, 'files')

function load_random_background()
filename = utils.join_path(path, files[math.random(1, #files)])
mp.set_property('video', 'auto')
mp.commandv('loadfile', filename, 'replace', 'osc=no,title=No file - mpv')
mp.osd_message("No file")
end

math.randomseed(os.time())
mp.register_script_message('load_random_background', load_random_background)
mp.register_event('idle', load_random_background)

and this, in scripts/explicit directory so it won't load automatically
load_random_background.lua:
local mp = require 'mp'

mp.commandv('script-message', 'load_random_background')

on top of that, i have an alias:
mpv-no-file = mpv --script="scripts/explicit/load_random_background.lua"

Yes, all of it "just" to have mpv display waifus instead of it's logo when opened with no file specified.
Of course the mp.register_event('idle', load_random_background) idle even fires just fine, but that's about 1 second delay, so mpv goes from logo, trough black screen to the pic I want it to display. And after making a separate script and calling it manually, the pic loads instantly. Only one problem left is that I'm not sure if the first script will always make it in time to register it's script message before the other calls it. As for now it does, but I only made a few tries manually.

>Only one problem left is that I'm not sure if the first script will always make it in time to register it's script message before the other calls it
I don't think you have a guarantee. One thing that you can do is register another script_message in load_random_background, and make it so that idle_load_random_background calls this script message to acknowledge that it received the message.
Then, in load_random_background, fire the script_message periodically until it gets acknowledged. A bit convoluted but it works.

I like your way of thinking, but I'll pass - worst thing that can happen is me seeing the logo-black screen-picture sequence, because the idle even will fire if script message from load_random_background won't reach it's target.
>inb4 I'll do what you said after seeing what I described for the first time and going into autistic rage that waifu pic was delayed
eh, I guess I'm brain damaged after all these years on Jow Forums

How do I get MPV to automatically add all files within a folder to a playlist when a random video file from that folder is played, like MPC does.

github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/lua/autoload.lua

I put it in the scripts folder, but it doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something?

I can't use input-conf=custom.conf inside of mpv.conf for some reason.

I'm retarded, where is the config file?

Create it

>r&m

mpv is many times more configurable

read the manual. create it in the folder mentioned.
