/mpv/ - a free, open source, and cross-platform media player

Does mpv run better on GNU/Linux compared to Win7?

VLC > MPV
It's not even a competition, stop being a hipster fag using a poorly developed player.

There's literally no point in setting cscale to anything above bicubic_fast

>>61687442
Looking better for --scale doesn't mean it'll look better for --cscale. Do some comparisons before regurgitating memes.

>Looking better for --scale doesn't mean it'll look better for --cscale.

>Do some comparisons before regurgitating memes.
can u make a comparison where cscale=spline36 looks worse than cscale=bicubic or cscale=bicubic_fast

><bjin> hanna: I tried several method for dering, for example clamping negative weights by half, or daala's dering filter. All of them hurt the PSNR significantly and make final image noticably more blur. The best try (-0.3dB in PSNR) I have at this moment is a second kernel tuned to be smooth, which seems to reduce ringing only in area with sharp gradient change, but leave other ringing and details as is. It's in the smooth branch, actuall
><bjin> y just a hack with hand-picked smooth function.

Buy a HDR screen and an SDR screen and remaster the HDR content for the SDR screen scene-by-scene

>I like hable. The current default (forgot name now) is like setting brightness at max then brighten it even more. Basically looks like shit. See it for yourself.
Hable works better for shit mastered marketing clips and way-too-bright content, because it makes everything darker. mobius works better for well-mastered content which only uses the extended signal range for super-highlights.

Also make sure your mpv version is new enough to have ea76f79, that one significantly improves the quality of the non-hable algorithms

>>61689224
Apply it twice in the settings

>>61690164
Its not that simple. If you have it twice it will just disable the second one if scaling factor is not big enough.

Is there any way of controlling mpv remotely from an android device without using SSH?

When I watch long youtube videos and pause them for a while in mpv the buffer fills up and the connection closes. Is there a way to deal with that? Either increasing the buffer or reopening the connection would work. I've just been using --start but it's kind of annoying to do.

is there a way to get my media keys working with mpv? besides mpv crashing every time i try to open a folder its the only reason why i use mpchc

>>61690627
I came here to post this exact same shit.

The player would be amazing if only it recognized my media keys. I'm using a Microsoft All-in-One media keyboard but for some reason the media buttons don't work and they don't show up in input-test either. Any ideas?

>>61690592
>>61690619

I thought opengl-shaders were somewhat deprecated so I use opengl-shader instead, but it seems that the "deprecation" does not exist.

I don't understand these prescalers, they make no difference: https://diff.pics/fYrJpBmU38Vb/1

>>61690627
>>61690650
go powershell/cmd/bash and type

mpv --input-test --force-window --idle 

then get the name of your keys and bind them in your input.conf

>>61690663
because sometimes I try out d3d11va etc..

>>61690682
As I said, I already tried that but nothing shows up in the input test even though the buttons work with other software.

>>61690220
Why do you want to upscale that much if it's way too big for your display? It will just get downscaled anyway

>>61690744
Muh placebo. I want to downscale it back with SSIM.

those settings should not be called max quality
it should be high quality

Well it's clean but

Getting freezes under Windows?
Add

angle-flip=no

to your mpv.conf.

If MOUSE_BTN3 and MOUSE_BTN4 aren't working in your input.conf, try using AXIS_UP and AXIS_DOWN to control scrollwheel.

should be added back imo. Those are often the cause of issues and not clearly documented.

>>61691484
Only reason you wouldn't call it max is if you don't realize that quality is subjective. I'd say that's a given, though I guess for the people that it's intended for it might not be. But trying to explain how it's not max might be too much for those.
Besides, opengl-hq is "high quality", if anything this would be very high quality or something stupid.
>>61691524
Okay, I wouldn't know about that because I didn't have to look up those because I didn't have those issues. I don't like how it's like 6 lines though.

cscale=bicubic_fast by default in opengl-hq when?

>>61692207
cscale=spline36 is default using opengl-hq.
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/5e066670d0633f94e8e02b6e417e262b759863d9/etc/builtin.conf

Spline36 stands for cubic spline interpolation, using sqrt(36) sample points. This is way more accurate than bicubic_fast.

>>61692383
>way more accurate than bicubic_fast
but >>61687858

>>61692503
My bad, looks better for cscale on this sample. Kind of blurry though.

Is bicubic_fast the newest cargo cult meme? Now I can add it to my config of sigmoid slope 10 and I have the ultimate meme config.

>>61692383

What do you want to know? Just use default from opengl-hq or use ewa_lanczos and forget about it.

    vec4 c0 = get(-1,  0);

    vec4 hi = max( max(max(c0,c1), max(c2,c3)), max(max(c4,c5), max(c6,c7)) );

    vec4 color = HOOKED_texOff(0);
    return mix(color, clamp(color, lo, hi), strength);
}

Could possibly be improved by using bicubic instead of bilinear. Oh, and this approach could also be adapted to RAVU fairly easily.

>>61693433
That github link appears to be more ideal. Unless if there exists apps that allow you to assign buttons to pipe messages to the player itself.

I'll take a look at this later. Thanks, anon.

>>61693663
Also it's possible that the parameters need fine-tuning. You could also probably justify using more samples than the 8 I chose.

>>61693663
It's also possible to adapt it as follows to work for the chroma scaler in principle, but that introduces some error because it fails to account for chroma offsets. (Unfortunately, I don't have a good solution for this based on the current API)

Based on that image it's probably similar to the bilinear technique but with a strength like 0.8 or 0.9 or something.

Actually this is not a really great image to test with because it doesn't trigger any of the pathological cases that broke the algorithm madshi described to me. This one does it much better

Making mpv usable on Windows was a mistake. Now we have doom9-tier ex-memeveearrers fighting to find the worst way to oilpaint their Khmer caricatures on mpv.

Seems like that still has the same artifacts, although he seems to have made a sacrifice to suppress them somewhat; probably by allowing some ringing in exchange for not triggering the artifacts as much. (You can see them along the gradient, near the edges where it meets the black lines)

>>61697387
there was some guy who kept shitposting yuru yuri images who claims to have gotten an acceptable substitute for NGU by combining several other meme shaders

but there's no direct alternative, no. NGU is a proprietary algorithm and nobody knows its implementation details. So if you want NGU in mpv, you'll first have to ask madshi to tell you the algorithm details. (Doubt he would, though)

>>61697473
>an acceptable substitute for NGU
Doesn't even make sense considering there are like 4 different NGU variants that produce visibly different results before you even get into configuring any one of them. It's highly dependent on the source too, what looks wonderfully sharp on one video might look like oily shit on another, there's a decent amount of tweaking involved to get NGU to look nice across multiple types/quality levels of video.

>>61697583

>>61698715
1. in my experience any monitor that's marketed towards consumers will be terribly calibrated, if even
2. ICC profiles from others are usually worthless
3. even the best monitor drifts over time, so you need to regularly recalibrate if you want best quality

>>61698777

>>61698819
You are lucky i'm coming back to this thread the exact moment you posted this post.

No it's really easy, there is a graphical installer (far better than debian installer), you need to type void-installer after boot to run the graphical installer.
The only hard part is the partionning/formating part because it's not automatic (you can read the arch wiki for help tho).
It's far easier and faster than arch install.

I'm also running on a dell laptop and i have no problems (wifi drivers works fine).

What is your linux experience ? What did you already installed ?

Since there's been talk about calibration, do both Windows and Linux support different color profiles for each screen if you're using more than 1? Do color profiles apply to everything, like full-screen games/applications?

>>61699105
>Do color profiles apply to everything, like full-screen games/applications
Im pretty sure NO. mpv can make use of ICC profile, windows can, some programs like image editors can. Gaems cant without some third party application.

>>61699453
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I'm afraid of getting one and being more annoyed with not being able to get proper colors in all applications (and the same colors under both Linux & Windows), especially since I imagine getting the monitor calibrated might require messing with its own settings too. That may end up looking complete crap when the profile isn't being applied.

>Since there's been talk about calibration, do both Windows and Linux support different color profiles for each screen if you're using more than 1?
Yes for both. Not all software will pick up per-monitor ICC profiles on Windows, but mpv will.

>Do color profiles apply to everything, like full-screen games/applications?
Nope. For mpv, they will, but every program needs to implement special support for colour profiles. From what I've seen, the vast majority of programs flat-out ignore the ICC profile configured in Windows, including most browsers and image viewers. Only a handful of programs, like professional image editors, can automatically pick up the configured profile from the OS.

>do both Windows and Linux support different color profiles for each screen if you're using more than 1
Yes, both windows and linux(X11) do.

>Do color profiles apply to everything, like full-screen games/applications?
ICC profiles themselves inherently don't do anything unless either the application actually uses them (unlikely) or the compositor does mapping (which neither windows nor linux do out of the box afaik, only OS X does this).

That said, ICC profiles usually also contain calibration LUTs which *do* apply to all programs, but they don't do gamut mapping - just fixing the transfer curve. Also, video games usually override the cLUTs anyway.

>>61699573
Monitor calibration (i.e. fixing the transfer curve) will always help, period. Monitor *profiling* (which is required for e.g. gamut mapping) will only help applications that use it.

But unless you're using a wide gamut monitor (which you probably aren't), you don't really need gamut mapping that much, so you probably won't get as annoyed by it as people with wide gamut monitors (for which everything looks shit unless it supports ICC profiles).

>>61687239
I think Im starting to see some autism.
In normal videos I couldnt see the difference between no config file and something that looks like whats in your code tags, but I watched a youtube video in mpv earlier and it was alot clearer in mpv that in it was on the youtube site.

>>61706228
Because most users prefer horrendeously aliased, ringing oversharpened garbage compared to “blurry” but smooth output.

If you are a man of sublime taste, feel free to use haasnsoft and bicubic_fast :^)

>>61708897
it's probably your browser's hardware acceleration washing out the youtube image with the limited 16-235 colorspace. by default, mpv has no hwaccel and uses opengl instead of direct3d, which almost always results in the proper colorspace.

do you have an nvidia gpu? im guessing vlc also shows you the same washed out image on that. you have to tweak a setting to get it right on every player.

>>61707747
>Post logs please. mpv really shouldn't fail out of the box like that, just because you're playing HDR content.
Well tone mapping requires a higher GLSL version, maybe ANGLE shit doesn't implement it?

>>61708251
tscale=oversample on 120 Hz is almost surely a no-op. Might as well just keep it off and use only video-sync.

>>61708966
Well, ANGLE creates a standard OpenGL ES 3.0 context

#version 300 es

and the blue-screen seems to indicate a shader compilation error. Surely this shouldn't happen.

>>61690318
Well, I found a potential solution using anyremote with the keyboard config.

Seems to be the most simplistic. Since I run mpv in fullscreen by default.

>by default, mpv has no hwaccel and uses opengl instead of direct3d, which almost always results in the proper colorspace.
so hwaccel decoding is bad? Is it the same meme as hwaccel encoding?

>>61709026
>so hwaccel decoding is bad?

Sometimes, it results in problems. Most of the time, it's fine. However, software acceleration is 100% of the time a good choice and always performs better on machines that have a better CPU than GPU.

>>61708978
How come?

>>61709026
>youtube was blurry, mpv was clear.
Sounds like you're talking about upscaling, not colorspaces (as the other anon guessed). Try setting `scale=ewa_lanczossharp` now :D

>so hwaccel decoding is bad? Is it the same meme as hwaccel encoding?
not quite as terrible as hwaccel encoding, but it's still not really a good idea unless your CPU is too weak to handle the file

>>61709086
120 Hz is an integer multiple of all common frame rates (24, 30, 60), and oversaple behaves like nearest neighbour sampling for integer multiples

>>61709125
So, extra overhead for nothing?

Thats why its not disabled automatically when playing 30FPS on 60Hz display?

>>61709117
yea I think thats what did it. I mentined I was using an autist conf.
some guy posted:

profile=opengl-hq
scale=ewa_lanczossharp
tscale=oversample
video-sync=display-resample
interpolation

the other day and I pasted it into mpv.conf and tried to find a difference. I didnt see any until I was watching the youtube video (vid = 720p, monitor = 1080p)

I still don't know what any of it means. Every time I try to compare these different settings I cant see the difference.

>>61709218
>What about 23,976?

>Thats why its not disabled automatically when playing 30FPS on 60Hz display?
1. Because nobody wrote the code to do that
2. Because it's a lot of complexity for relatively little benefit
3. Because it's almost impossible to tell a priori. Remember, the file could be VFR, and in this case, toggline interpolation “on and off” like that is a bad idea.

If you're watching 1080p content on a 1080p screen, you don't want mpv to change anything. These scalers are just for making shit display as well as possible on different resolutions.

>>61709988
note that mpv with opengl-hq *will* still deband, which can make a huge difference for youtube videos

>>61710037
Yeah sure, there are a couple of things that are enabled that do work on 1080p content. Like debanders and temporal scalers. But I'm assuming he won't notice them because you need to be kind of trained to notice the artifacts that those remove anyway, and he sounds pretty green.

Is it generally a bad idea to test mpv out on a Linux livecd? It's causing the entire OS to freeze when testing out said livecd.

>>61710215

Unfortunately too slow compared to GTX 970, so I'll unplug it again and only use it for testing.

(Also apparently it vsyncs X by default or something, which I can't stand. And the setting for it doesn't seem to exist on my end for whatever reason)

Nothing is there, its just a normal log.

I said it was 720p. So I take it you mean its for videos with shit aspect ratios or something?
>If you're watching 1080p content on a 1080p screen, you don't want mpv to change anything.
So you actually edit your mpv config file for every single video you want to watch?

>I said it was 720p.
You said you didn't notice until it was 720p, implying that it was 1080p before.

>So you actually edit your mpv config file for every single video you want to watch?
No, how the fuck did you get that from my post?

>>61717526
Hopefully never.

having anything in the config file has mpv change stuff. I guess I just took it too literal.

Not necessarily. Scalers are disabled if there's nothing to scale for example.

I'm happy haasn is trying to help bjin to make RAVU better :)

different antiring method (from mpv branch, also correct chroma offsets)

antiring.hook on this frame for comparison

Sorry, I was testing the wrong binary; *this* is the ver with antiring enabled

so mpv-shot1 = reference, mpv-shot2 = antiring.hook; mpv-shot3 = antiring from branch

>>61709360
Maybe you could write a shader and load it via mpv?

I'm aware that picture is an edit of Dragon Ball Super so that it more closely resembles Dragon Ball Z coloring but I have no idea what was done to create that effect. Do you know the person who made it or know what they did?
