are the conf files universal across operating systems? I wanna know whether it would work without tweaks if I just paste my conf files from linux to windows

Ian Howard
There are some differences, but only with things that relate to the OS. Like --vo=direct3d wouldn't work on Linux. Or --glsl-shader="C:\mpv\shaders\FSRCNNX_x2_8-0-4-1.glsl".

thx user
Blake Foster
should i even bother with the shader thing to have a good looking media. or i won't even notice it?
Henry Parker
dont bother, it's a meme
Ian Brooks
Either try it and find out if you notice it or not, or don't try it out. There is a difference if that's what you're asking.
Brandon Miller
i installed it on my on the go laptop and i usually use it to watch kamen rider stuff when im on the road away from home. so far anime is ok hasn't tested it on live action stuff i wonder if it will be better or the same with mpc+madvr but it put a load on my laptop though.
Kayden Ward
Should be better for live action stuff as well, and better than whatever madvr has to offer, and less intensive.
Adrian White
so which is the good shader option for this i just installed it yesterday and still new in all this. would be glad if someone share something that i can just copy paste though.although i won't mind doing it with a guide.
Xavier Richardson
Read the evaluation of upscalers in the OP. I'd say it's basically FSRCNNX, SSSR, and KrigBilateral, in decreasing order of importance. SSSR only kicking in if FSRCNNX can't perfectly double. Note, this is all still subjective.
Sebastian Watson
Is there a line to put in the conf so that when I open up a video, if it's too tall it gets resized to fit the screen? Right now half of the top and half of the bottom sometimes gets cut off, and it makes using the controls annoying because i have to resize it manually each time.
Dylan Lewis

Jaxon Rogers
That's the default behaviour, it'll downscale if it's too large.
Parker Hall
Give bjin merge rights.
Jackson Lee
autofit-larger=1280x720 or autofit-larger=90%x80%
Ethan Powell
Give me merge rights. I promise I won't do anything bad.

Caleb Clark
So I spent a lot of time last night trying to find a solution, but to no avail.
Basically what I'm trying to do is this. There is the "geometry" setting which you can place into the config file for window placement of the video, specifically geometry=50%:50% in my case, but I want to be able to assign a hotkey to this setting that resets the window to the center when I move the window for whatever reason.
I tried some stuff but input.conf doesn't recognize geometry as a valid command or something. Please help a brainlet out please.
Parker Long
FSRCNNX doesn't kick in when viewing PNG files. What's the reason?
Charles Rivera
I believe it's because FSRCNNX doesn't support RGB color space.
Thomas Watson
Yeah just tried it, it works for grayscale pngs, but not RGB pngs.
Christian Wright
I see, thanks.
Tyler Gutierrez
What's the point? Why don't you create windows like GUI?
Brayden Clark
I've been using CCCP for about a decade and despite not being updated since ~2014 it handles everything perfectly fine, including x265.
Why should I bother changing to mpv? I am genuinely curios.
>he still uses codec packs You can't playback the AV1 meme though.
Leo Reyes
How do I make it so that subtitles take up the entire available window space instead of just the video only? I'm watching a video that's unfortunately taken on a phone (inverted 16:9) and the subs take up all the available video area leaving the black sides blank.
Sebastian Bell
sub-user-margins or something like that check the manual
Samuel Richardson
I wish this was addressed in the OP. People like the ability to easily customize scalers and the like.
Hunter Young
I've only skimmed the FAQ a little, but it sounds like this is either completely commandline based, or commandline is needed for anything more than the most basic of functions. Surely this is not correct?
Daniel Brooks
It's not, just set it up properly and launch videos by double clicking them.
Jaxson Russell
>he doesn't watch 8K HEVC
Asher Reyes
>8K HEVC >not 8K AV1
Samuel Moore
Well, we don't really have to discuss SW vs. HW decoding for AV1, do we?
Tyler Butler

Cooper Hughes
it's not possible. you should set a keybind with your window manager, or use autohotkey or whatever it is on windows.
David Cook
But how would a Windows hotkey trigger an MPV behavior?
Levi Young
it's your OS/window managers job to position windows
James Carter
Bro it has a GUI....................
Anthony Ross

Benjamin Phillips
Sorry my bad. I didn't see your name on it though.
Parker Flores
For a basic setup profile=gpu-hq scale=ewa_lanczossharp # scale=lanczos for a bit sharper image at the cost of slightly more ringing
If you want to go full autism, add FSRCNNX, SSimDownscaler, KrigBilateral and SSSR as shaders.
Zachary King
What version of Google's shaderc works best with mpv and libplace? v2018.0, v2019.0 or git master? I'm getting messages like vo/gpu/vulkan/libplacebo: Storable format 'rgb32f' has no matching GLSL format qualifier?
Sebastian Lopez
That has nothing to do with shaderc. It's just textures missing from your vulkan drivers. It also has no effect on playback either.
>Wayland/Gnome Stop using this trash and just switch to sway for a good wayland experience.
Connor Mitchell
But I want the full Red Hat SystemdOS experience
Nicholas Martin
This looks like possibly some broken drivers. Does it work if you force dumb mode with --gpu-dumb-mode?
James Howard
not him but I agree that sway is awesome, but I couldn't get used to tiling and not having the usual title bar buttons and mouse support.. if only there was a fork that added these features. way cooler is a meme, wont get ready until 2025. i read everything about using sway with a mouse/stacking and i dont like the workarounds, bindsym --border, for_window * floating enable etc and mvp on sway was the smoothest playback I've ever seen
Juan Jenkins
Is problem in youtube-dl or mpv and is there any chance to configure that it plays football and formula 1 streams in mpv
Adam James
I don't know why GNOME is so insistent on making their wayland implementation so stupid. It's way easier just to add support for upstream protocols than to use retarded dbus hacks for everything. Their applications could still have ugly CSDs but if they just implemented xdg-decorations people would stop asking what happened to their decorations for non gtk/qt applications.
Angel Wilson
yeah it's definitely a driver error based on pic related, but i'm too dumb to figure it out
I actually just use tabbed windows by default for everything. I rarely actual tile (or float) anything. I don't really need lots of mouse support though (just basic clicking shit is fine) so I guess that would be a deal breaker. The "problem" with sway is that it's good enough for the audience that just wants a window manager for wayland so not too many people will bother to use wlroots to write their own even if they might prefer something like openbox or dwm or something.
Ryan Barnes
Got it working friend, thanks :)
Kevin Long
Yes, I believe so. set_window_geometry is a part of xdg-shell which is what compositors use to manage surfaces. mpv has had xdg-shell for a long time and the usual geometry/autofit related options all work in sway for instance (no idea about GNOME). It's nice to see KDE take a step forward.
Cameron Peterson
Ok yeah, but what hotkey does that? Or where can I find the settings to assign a hotkey to that function? Alt+Up/Down/Left/Right don't center the window.
Reminder to use "vf=bwdif:parity=tff" because mpv's default deinterlacer sucks ass.
Lucas Thomas
Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Channel doesn't have this problem.
Joshua Gonzalez
>Watching interlaced content
Jack Adams
Watch The Red Shoes and not that crap you capehead cinephile.
Evan Green
bro, any way to use that w3fdif vapoursynth port for using tff with mpv? I followed the manual but I just can't make it work
Owen Powell
Anybody else have issues with reddit videos? They seem to have invalid video timestamps sometimes resulting in the video restarting but the audio continuing. Youtube-dl downloads the complete video though, without the invalid timestamps. Trying ytdl:// doesn't work either. One example of a busted video is reddit.com/r/youseeingthisshit/comments/byfoh3/leave_him_alone/ Any way to fix this? I realize the site's not popular here, but it's still a major site that I'd figure would work properly with mpv.

>KrigBilateral updated getting finally rid of that offset shit
Ryan Brown
artoriuz is dead, we should delete his deprecated web-spam
Landon Flores
Thank fuck. I never trusted the offsets for anything but yuv420 without prescalers.
Isaiah Brown
What even is there to update? All I can think of is expanding the fractional upscaling section, but there's already enough information.
Juan Gutierrez
This link works with --ytdl-format=dash-VIDEO-1 hls doesn't.
Ian Taylor
I wanna stream videos from torrent files and magnets. I wanna just punch in 'mpv' and the the torrent file or magnet. What are my options
FSRCNNX makes a difference which I can actually detect with my eyes, are there other shaders to pair with it that aren't placebo?
Samuel Smith
Krigbilateral, but this is only for colours brightness.
Jose Rivera
Neato, thanks.
Thomas Lopez
ravu-chroma is dead
Lincoln Walker
SSimDownScaler.

>For ravu prescaler, radius setting is indicated in the filename. r3 (with radius=3 setting) shaders are generally recommended, those shaders achieve good balance between performance and quality.
