How to get software into your PATH on Windows is one of the largest flaws Windows has as an OS.

1MB, 918x1080px

I'm using MSYS2 on Windows, and have continually failed to compile all of the libraries I wish to build ffmpeg with. Most recently Theora runs into a fatal error in math.h, and SDL refuses to work properly and I can't decipher what I should redirect the paths in sdl-config to. I don't want to just download the package, I'd rather build it myself.

Can't resolve issues without more or less brute force testing shit to do with MSYS like it's some kind of black box. Don't at all understand the framework I'm using, and therefore, my framework of knowledge will also be insufficient no matter what.

Feel retarded. Gradually slipping into deep depression.

>>46811425
Perfectly.

Put ytdl with the mpv binary, or put it in your PATH. Only problem I've noticed on Windows 7 64 bit, is it will always bitch about lack of write permissions when you try to update, no matter what. The only fix is to open a command prompt in its actual directly and type out the full filename (youtube-dl.exe -U).

Nuisance, but easy to work around.

mpv is blurry

how to fix?

>>46813000
No one can help you if you don't say anything whatsoever yourself.

Put in the effort or fuck off.

>>46812968
>I don't want to just download the package, I'd rather build it myself.
Why? It's much less painful to use the packages that come with MSYS2. No one likes compiling shit for Windows. Even if you want a bleeding-edge FFmpeg, you can still get everything else from the repos.

Also, don't bother with SDL, you don't need (or want) it at all.

>>46813062
The problem I have is I can't change the youtube-dl download location and I can't make youtube-dl recognize the ffmpeg path even if I've already set the path like you did in this example.

It's like I don't know how to set a location output in the config files in windows maybe.

>>46813062

>>46814598

>>46814548
that box hasn't changed in many years, many deeper settings like these use ui's that were written 15-20 years ago and barely touched since

windows is just fancy hacks added onto an old codebase, nothing is ever really fully replaced (this is good for compatibility, mind)

>>46814537
either that or they use third party one time use tools to do some of this for them, it's not very pretty

Guys halp:

this:

ctrl+s run youtube-dl "${path}"; show_text "Saving ${media-title}"

(how do I make the bbcode

?)

doesn't merge the audio and video files ONLY when the youtube link is opened via my firefox plugin "openwith".

(windows)

I'll also check this in my linux machine in a few moments.

Guys halp 2.0:

this

ctrl+s run youtube-dl "${path}"; show_text "Saving ${media-title}"

doesn't merge the audio and video files ONLY when the youtube link is opened via my firefox plugin "openwith".

(windows)

>>46815094
are you sure youtube-dl is in PATH?

do you know if "openwith" messes with the PATH?

>>46815048
oh I never checked global rules, ty.

What vo and hwdec arguments should I use in my config? My current config frameskips often.

Hardware: Intel Haswell 4600U i7 notebook with GMA 4000? video on the chip. 800 MHz to 3.2 GHz, Antergos GNU+Linux x86_64.

Thank you!

right now i'm running mplayer w/ mpv- is the essentially the same as mpv by itself?

>>46815122
np, when growing out of /b/ you need to read the rules and each boards sticky, as they all have things you need to follow, and often contain your first questions already

>>46815113
Yes it is.

In the cmd if I write

mpv URL

and press ctrl+s it works.

If I open the same video using the firefox plugin ctrl+s doesn't merge the video and audio files.

>>46815152
I actually hate /b/, I was there only to try some bbcode.

I usually lurk /a/ and /g/ but this is the first time I needed the

 tag.

>>46815158
while i'm not sure exactly how path on windows works, it's possible for programs to override the PATH environment variable when spawning new programs

only thing i can think of is that "openwith" is messing with the PATH being given to mpv as it's being opened through "openwith", causing mpv to fail to find youtube-dl

>>46815208
oh, one thing you can try is temporarily putting youtube-dl in the same folder as mpv

normally you don't need a special entry in PATH to get a program to find things in its own folder

>>46815234
... forgot to add, if this works, then openwith is likely messing with PATH, check if there's any options to disable this behaviour, otherwise just keep a copy of youtube-dl in with mpv

>>46815208
>>46815234
It already is in the mpv folder.

It surely is a "openwhith" problem though.

>>46815205
>/a/
That explains it.

>>46815290
Said the user of an originally anime/japan-themed site.

>>46815314
All the good in /a/ left with /jp/.

>>46815322
Actually the thing is general boards brought to the community a lot of shitty people, the perfect example of this is /pol/.

Other than this, I hate people who shitposts other boards because "muh board is better board".

Like, there is not a perfect board, and there's no need to talk shit about other bords only because it doesn't reflect our tastes.

>>46815267
maybe what you can try is making a shell script (batch file) which sets the path before executing youtube-dl, then getting mpv to run that instead

for example;

@echo off
set PATH="c:\path\to\youtube-dl"
youtube-dl %1

the "%1" here is the first argument, so calling "script.cmd url", the "%1" will be replaced with "url", which matches what you're currently doing

>>46815435
>there is not a perfect board
Of course, but some boards are closer to perfect than others.

>>46815489
actually this would be the same as using an absolute path (c:\path\to\youtube-dl\youtube-dl.exe %1)

also, where is ffmpeg? youtube-dl needs ffmpeg to merge files, is that in with mpv? if it's not you could try that first, otherwise try this (add ffmpeg's folder to this path too, like "PATH="c:\path\ffmpeg;c:\path\youtube-dl"")

>>46815489
>>46815539
I think the problem is ffmpeg since it's ffmpeg.exe that merges files.

But how do I make mpv to use that script instead of youtube-dl?

>>46813062
>MinGW
Discarded.

>>46811437
It's in the window title, you fucking mongoloid.

>>46816930
presumably you can put it in the same place as you have "youtube-dl" in your input.conf

make sure the script is somewhere in PATH (probably just in the same folder as mpv will be best)

>>46817091
also make sure it uses the extension .cmd or .bat, else windows won't know what to do with it

>>46813062
That's exactly what I'm talking about, that's fucking ridiculous.

When I install software, it's in my $PATH by default without me doing anything.

Thanks to the design of Windows, you have to manually do that yourself, and it's done in a really terrible way too. This is a big deal for personal usability, and software developers.

>>46812481
>>46812785

>>46817111
i agree, it's another thing that makes windows users think the cli is useless, because it IS useless... on windows

but what can you do? if you want to use windows, you have to put up with windows

>>46817134
Sorry if I don't understand but don't I have to make mpv knows to use this .cmd file instead of youtube-dl.exe in some way?

>>46817227
i take it you copied

ctrl+s run youtube-dl "${path}"; show_text "Saving ${media-title}"

from someone else?

replace youtube-dl here

ctrl+s run script.cmd "${path}"; show_text "Saving ${media-title}"

idk if mpv can launch a cmd script from here, it depends how it does it

Where's the volume?

>>46817331
9, 0

>>46817111
>When I install software, it's in my $PATH by default without me doing anything.
The path variable works exactly the same on Windows but users don't always store things in the same place like /bin, if you want that there's already several package managers for Windows that will install binaries or links to binaries in the same place such as chocolatey, scoop, pacman, and soon OneGet which will wrap those and more to provide the same functionality. You can also do that yourself by having some kind of directory included in your path then linking executables there.

>>46817543
>>46817577
Gracias. I will see what the dark side is like when I get home

>>46817590
Is that a path problem though? What if you do mpv - v *youtube url* does it not find yt-dl? That cmd looks like you're calling yt-dl directly and it's having some kind of connection issue.

>>46817701
he has no trouble using mpv normally, but when launched from openwith (a firefox extension), youtube-dl as called from mpv, cannot find ffmpeg

>>46817740
Gonna readup on openwith and see if I can get it working on my system.

>>46817534
thanks, it works but...

Now it says youtube-dl is NOT on PATH. But when I do

youtube-dl

it fucking works. The opposite of what I wanted to do I guess.

Then I opened youtube.bat directly in the folder and it works but... now ffmpeg is not on PATH. But when I do ffmpeg it fucking works.

I give up.

Honest question here. If I'm using MPC-HC+madVR+xy on win x64 and it is working perfectly, is there any reason to make the change?
I already use mpv on my other machine (running debian)

>>46817991
that, then he has a binding which calls youtube-dl from mpv to save the video

this instance of youtube-dl can't find ffmpeg, while when mpv is launched outside of openwith, it does work

>46815094

^as I said here when I do "ctrl+s" while I opened the video via "openwith" ffmpeg doesn't merge video and audio. The problem is the firefox extension for some reason doesn't see ffmpeg on PATH.

Not a big deal though, I guess I will just use JDwonloader 2 to download in 60fps as I did before.

So, if you don't have a good cpu+gpu mpv is a better option because it doesn't fry your machine giving almost the same result as MPC-HC.

Yeah, but I don't want videos to auto-play at all - only once I explicitly allow them to after switching to the tab.

>>46818681
You could probably bind it to a hotkey, I'm currently trying to find a way to do it automatically when it sees a specific url except for my own purpose. The video was just for clarification, I wasn't sure if that's what the other person was asking for.

Eat shit faggots, your player looks like shit.

It has an ugly default icon and default UI. MPC-HC works just fine.

>>46818737
What's the problem with the youtube player? Just switch it to html5 and at least you can jump between the video unlike in mpv.

You can disable the autoplay in the default player too.

>>46818797
>Also pasting to cmd requires a right click which sucks.
Nope. Here's my sequence of keystrokes:

1. y to yank the URL
2.

<Meta-w>

to switch to the left monitor (note: Meta is where the capslock key would normally be)
3.

mpv <Shift-Insert>

to launch MPV on the clipboard contents.

If you were really dedicated, you could also make a macro that runs mpv on the contents of

xclip -o

, but I prefer my way since that lets me easily append multiple URLs to the command line, if I want to watch more than one video in a row.

Either way, it's effectively 7 keystrokes. Even a relatively slow typer at, say, 120 wpm would be able to complete it in 0.7 seconds (7/(120*5/60) = 0.7).

>>46818846
Both players are good but non-windows users can't install MPC-HC.

>>46818853
I don't think you noticed me and the other person are using Windows and to repeat myself cmd does not allow you to paste through shfit-insert. Also what keyboard outside of the chromebook ones puts meta where capslock is instead of between ctrl and alt?

How can I make the video to stop at the end and not to switch to the next file when in playlist mode?

>What's the problem with the youtube player?
1. The interface is a piece of shit, and not what I'm used to
2. The video quality is absolutely dreadful - bad upscaling, everything's a juddery mess, wrong colormatrices, 8 bit clipping, etc.
3. No color management support (even though Firefox supports it for most things, they simply ignore your gfx.color_management settings for video playback, for some odd reason..)
4. Can't buffer properly
5. Can't take screenshots properly
6. No easy way to change settings other than through some shitty convoluted GUI
7. Fullscreen mode is completely broken for me
8. Very bad performance

But I use the command line mostly, for as much as you type you don't read so well. The other person is the one who wanted that solution.

>Mine does. Why don't you? Do you legitimately have a better use for the capslock key?
What? You said your meta key was where capslock typically is on keyboards, my meta key is in the normal spot, that's why I'm wondering what keyboard you have that has a weird layout.
Pic related is the only modern keyboard I know of that does that.

BE is pretty good from what I've used, but I'm already accustomed to HC.

I don't watch anime, movies, documentaries, and tv series via youtube and the fact I can't skip between the video while I watch something is a huge downside.

>>46819041
Outside of the API and appearance they're the same except BE has some more features such as the preview and YouTube support etc.

>>46819031
Look, I know I'm dealing with a Windows user here, but are you seriously so bad at technology that you can't grasp the concept of changing a keyboard layout?

>>46818981
It is ugly.

How do I use MPV if I don't use X ?

I can't tell if your reading comprehension is that bad or if you're just being hostile for attention either way you're no fun to talk to, I was only asking you what layout you were using since it'd obviously not standard. Like damn dude relax or something.

>>46818904
Stop arguing and answer me you faggots.

output to framebuffer

>>46819176
How ? Is it compiled by default ?

>>46819189
Google it my mans.
"mpv framebuffer"

I already answered that question: My own layout

>need to recompile mpv

Yeah.

>>46819264
If it's what you want you gotta do it like that, do you have any other display options like a display server that's not X? Wayland, rio, etc.

>implying this isn't easier and faster

>>46819790
Reaching for the mouse when you already have your fingers on the home row is never faster.

More efficient, elegant. MPC when all setup with extras will load like 5 extra programs that sit in your taskbar. It works, but it's still messy and inefficient.

mpv is also updated more frequently.

>>46818932
I just installed MPC-BE:

1- How do I see previews?
2- Can't I use madVR?
3- Why the size of a 720p video loaded with this program is zoomed out in a small window?

>>46819111
Not at all, just read the commits text.

Sorry guys can I set the remaining time in the osc to display as the whole duration time of the video by default?
