Shuffling short videos using the OSC is horrible, works fine with keybindings. Is there any way to fix this?

>>57569320
The directshow stack is better: mpc-hc, madvr and assfiltermod!

You can mimic some top features with shitty lua scripts and mpv hooks.
However expect poor performance and glitches.

>>57569833
>assfiltermod

I thought that was a meme, is it really functional?

>>57569881
Yes, much better than the internal mpc-hc subtitle renderer.
Use the nightly/latest build!

>>57569833
>poor performance
this retard never even used mpv.

>>57569424
Im using windows and dont have that problem.
One thing that really helps performance is putting

priority=high

in mpv.conf, not sure if that will fix your problem though.

Why would I use this when potplayer exists?

>>57570114
You are probably a linux fag that thinks using unofficial drivers are efficient.
Opengl and angle are terrible, dxinterop is very experimental.
No opencl or direct compute shaders.
Ewa* scalers are slower than madVR or MPDN.

>>57570880
mpv performs just as well, if not better than mpdn or mpc-hc + madvr for me. And I'm on windows.

>>57570880

Retry and make better benchmarks. You are probably just a minimalist and your brain likes the minimal look of mpv.

Only reason I still use mpv is because of youtube-dl, as soon as the other directshit players get it, I'll go back again.

You can use it with directshow player!

Haha mpv fags on suicide watch!

Some 4chan morons would like to sue madshi.
And it seems that another one released all the madshi's algorithms for fun.

Annoying, but I'm glad they did this before I published NGU and not after, so I could add a little bit (not too much, though) of protection against reverse engineering.

>>57575324
Yes NGU is a dumb madShit.

I don't know why but the madshi's renderer is now fucking slow, it seems this is his new code obfuscator/protector that messes the performance.

>>57575281
NGU is sharper but also has a ton of artifacts, though that might just be from the source video being shit.

>>57575628
Yes it doesn't work with silly compressed videos.

>>57575628
It's time for mpv fans to create a ngu like algorithm.

Where is the guy who dumps all the madshi's shaders?
Is the new madvr release more protected now?

After some tests I don't think NGU (high) is better than nnedi3 (32ns) with SSimSuperRes.glsl and the performance are the same on my windows install.

So, I stumbled upon this:

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/2685

And after trying it out, I must admit that I can't go back anymore!
Minimal flicker, minimal blur, while still being amazingly smooth!

What does /g/ think about this tscale option for mpv?

(Remember to definitely activate tscale-clamp too though, else you'll get major ringing artifacts!)

>>57578771
Interesting, will try it out.

>>57569833
>The directshow stack
Literal 90s technology. DirectShow is old enough to drink and I bet there are people ITT who were born after its first release. I'm a Windows user and I'm so happy to be free of that bullshit. I no longer have to keep up with which ASS filter, libavcodec wrapper and DirectShow front-end is least shit, nor do i have to rely on hacks like ReClock or make sure my system is clean of old codecs when I install a new one.

Anyone shilling DirectShow in these threads is prolonging the death of a deprecated technology. They're not only doing a disservice to their fellow Windows users, they're holding back digital video playback technology in general. DirectShow needs to be fucking buried already.

>>57579033
not to mention that directshow is slated to be removed in future builds of windows.

It's seriously DirectX 1.0-era tech. It was introduced to dethrone Video for Windows technology in 1995.

>>57578771
Why is tscale-clamp off by default?

It's not a performance problem. I can play 4k HEVC videos without any problem. I can also shuffle via OSC flawlessly as long as it's not a short video.
>>57582612
Already am.

One thing I have noticed is that I have to click twice on the seek bar.. If I only click once it will jump back at the beginning of the video.

Nope, this is a long standing issue that mpv cannot play some/many mkv files correctly and the devs/shills try to blame it on "proprietary xml bullshit" which really makes no sense when all other players and even web browsers work fine.

Having a weird issue with MPV that just started last night.

Happens when using the x64 bit build from 16-08-26 from https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/ and seems to occur at random.

When I open a video file in MPV, the output to all of my monitors stops. Re-plugging the cables does nothing, mashing keys does nothing. The only thing I can do in this state is to restart the computer.

On my TV it'll begin displaying a message along the lines of "Input mode not supported" when this happens whereas my monitors just go black.

Running a GTX970 with the latest drivers, i7 4790k, 16GB RAM, Wangblows 10 x64.

>>57588669
Gave it a shot last night, but the video plays back with odd stutter where it looks as if the video is quickly switching from black frames to the correct frames every half-second or-so.

>>57588702
you're referring to a commit already in the codebase, what is there to accept?

>>57588919
Is it really? than how come it doesn't work?

>>57588939
It's just not the default because it's more expensive to render or something. To use it you need to set

seekbarstyle = "knob"

in your osc.conf or whatever the name of that file was. Also I don't think there has been an official release since that commit so you'll have to use a compiled version.

>>57588903
Also try with sourceforge build. Probably its ffmpeg/ANGLE issue which maybe fixed in current git?

>>57588975
It doesn't work, that's why I am asking.
>>57588981
Doesn't even work on the compile version with mingw

>>57588903
Im using his newest 64bit build and can confirm it works without issue. I've used his last build before without issues too. Did you recently update drivers?

>>57588989
How do you set it? You're not supposed to set that option in mpv.conf.

>>57589030
You can do it via the mpv.conf why wouldn't you be able to?

>>57589030

How do I use the userscripts? I'd like to try the autocrop one. I get lua, just unsure where to put the files so they're picked up by mpv, or are they entirely independent and I just run them seperately with a window open?

>>57589851
That's my config though.

>>57589853
Depends on your platform. I'm going to assume you're using window based on your question. In the folder in which you have mpv.exe, create a folder named "scripts" and put the lua file you're interested in inside.

>>57589914
Nah using linux, I'm guessing I create a scripts folder in the .mpv folder then?

>>57589914
Ah got it, found the answer in the documentation.
Thanks for replying

>>57584840
It looks like a 64-bit block cipher but in ECB mode. Based on the length of the blocks it's probably DES or 3DES

Unfortunately the key is not plaintext anywhere in the binary, and I don't have any proper disassembly tools for windows binaries

>>57589937
Then you should put the scripts in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/scripts/

>>57586381
>what do I do?
Just make sure your PR follows basic sanity conventions: Don't lump shittons of changes into a bunch of fragmented commits like https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/3680

Instead make sure you have a series of clean commits that change only the code you want to change and nothing else, and based on the scope of your description it would probably only be a single commit to begin with.

That's pretty much the most important thing. Make your code/commits accessible, and people can comment on it and fix it.

>>57589102
>I really want to see the logic in them making it so that you have to make a new fucking folder and a new fucking text file to change the god dam OSC.
lol, would you prefer if it stored settings in the registry like MPC-HC and other windows programs so you have to use ‘regedit’ to edit the option?
