Oops, sorry, anon(s?). It'll be done someday, I swear!
There's still stuff to add and other things to come up with.

Also, the stream buffer thing to capture livestreams is... sort of okay, but I need to idiot-proof it a bit more and make the mpv "bindings", the actual usage, better.

(Note that the advanced mode on the left is not required, I just made sure the loop was frame perfect with the new seek [although mpv itself doesn't always want to be frame perfect on --end, I cry])

Can mpv display lists of album covers in a grid?

>>mpv is based on the oldish mplayer
>>madvr is based on the oldish/unsupported directshow
There is an obvious difference between these two things. DirectShow is discontinued proprietary software. Microsoft maintain it because so many things rely on it, but they will never extend or improve it. If MPC-HC or madVR want to change some aspect of DirectShow, they're out of luck. They just have to work around any deficiencies they find.

mpv is based on MPlayer, but MPlayer is open source. It's actually a good thing to base a new program on tried-and-tested code, rather than reinventing the wheel. If any 2000s-era MPlayer code doesn't fit mpv, it can be removed or rewritten. In fact, this has already happened. There is very little legacy code from the 2000s left in mpv.

>>59501816
No, you're right, it is. It's unfortunately the only way to schedule frames on X11/Nvidia. It doesn't use the (broken) video decoding part of VDPAU, just the presentation queue.

Linear scalers (all mpv built-in scalers) aren't perfect, because they can't recover underlying structure.

Of course, and meme scalers are perfect because they can magically """recover""" information that wasn't in the original video.

>>59502160

Several like that already exist though.

>>59507363
>Linear scalers (all mpv built-in scalers) aren't perfect, because they can't recover underlying structure.
Nobody can do that. Information that was lost due to compression is lost forever. Or do you think they travel back in time, look at the video, check the lost details and somehow transport the diff into the future? There is no such magic and the scalers you want are not doing this magic either.
They guess. That's all they do.
Granted, it's clever guessing and in some cases the result is impressive. However, just as you can find impressive results you can also easily find results where such an algorithm guessed horribly wrong, "reconstructing" stuff that was never there or looked different.

You have no idea what you are talking about and that's the first google result that come up, right?
> we instead use machine learning and train on pairs of images, one low quality, one high, to find filters that, when applied to selectively to each pixel of the low-res image, will recreate details that are of comparable quality to the original
It's the same elaborated guessing: "let's throw a filter on it that worked well on training images and hope that'll turn out good!"

>>59508582
>Below is an example where the aliased spatial frequencies are apparent under the numbers 3 and 5 in the low-resolution original on the left, while the RAISR image on the right recovered the original structure.

Interesting. NGU-Sharp/AA look rather bad in this comparison. How about some real image content, though? Test patterns can be used to test for specific things, like ringing behaviour, but they shouldn't be used alone to judge overall image quality. AFAIK, NGU-Sharp is meant to be used for Blu-Ray sources, and NGU-AA is meant to be used for lower quality sources. So how do they compare to ewa_lanczos + SSimSuperRes when using them that way?

I've played around a bit with the NGU options. Here's how it looks like with:

- doubling: very high
- quadrupling: double again -> very high
- soften edges: 2
- add grain: 3

Sorry missing image.

>>59523076
I don't see much difference from SSIMSR, except it has too much noise. add grain: 1 probably would be enough.

>>59522919
>>59522925
>>59523054
>>59523076
ok, my thoughts:

- ngu aa is quite soft, but looks decent otherwise, might be interesting to compare to straight ewa_lanczos
- ewa_lanczos + ssimsuperres looks bad, like a watercolor painting
- ngu-sharp looks worst of all, very artificial
- surprisingly, ngu-sharp + soften + grain looks pretty good to me, by far the best of the bunch, imho!

>>59523116
>ngu-sharp + soften + grain looks almost like ssimsuperres
>ewa_lanczos + ssimsuperres looks bad, like a watercolor painting
nice try shill

>>59523104
To my eyes, the ewa_lanczos + SSIMSR image has an overall very bloated look. E.g. look at the middle part of the glasses!

I do agree that there's probably too much noise in the nguSharpSoftenGrain image, though.

>>59523156
That's the only part that looks bloated, and it's questionable if NGU upscales correctly and not over-thinning. Also that NGU config is much slower than SSIMSR (I actually used spline36 insteed of ewa_lanczos for this screenshots).

File: nguMedSoftGrain.png (2MB, 856x868px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 856x868px

>>59523350
The eyes are bloated, too (e.g. the line under the white part of the right eye). So is the left pink collar. And the hair behind the lower part of the left ear (bloated and aliased).

It's hard to say if NGU upscaled correctly or was over-thinning. It's possible it over-thinned somewhat. Or maybe not. But very clearly spline36+SSIMSR bloats *a lot*. It's not a minor difference.

You're absolutely right that doublig twice with NGU-Sharp with "very high" quality is rather slow, though. So attached is NGU-Sharp with medium quality, which should be reasonably fast. And it doesn't look all that different to "very high" quality.

Doubling twice still slows things down, of course. Maybe that will be "fixed" by the upcoming NGU-Soft algorithm which may directly quadruple with a similar look as the attached image. At least that's my hope...

>>59523460
This NGU-Sharp with medium quality is more bloated than very high.
>Doubling twice still slows things down
NGU-Sharp directly quadruples for me, but NGU-AA not.

> This NGU-Sharp with medium quality is more bloated than very high.
True, but not dramatically so.

> NGU-Sharp directly quadruples for me, but NGU-AA not.
Yes. NGU-AA doesn't support direct quadrupling at the moment. I don't know if madshi plans to make it quadrupling-capable in the future. For NGU-Sharp you can select doubling twice or direct quadruple in the drop-down menus. Direct quadrupling is default, probably because it's much faster.

>>59523550
yeah, this one doesn't look as bloated, probably because it's overall rather soft. compared to the ngu-aa image it *is* somewhat more bloated, but it's still looking ok to my eyes.

i think the heavy bloating in the spline+ssimsr image comes from ssimsr trying to sharpen the image, without making the edges any thinner. imho a good sharpener should not only sharpen the outlines of fat soft edges, but should also thin the edges somewhat. i guess that's not easy to do, though.

I'm new to mpv, I like the idea because I don't want or need a ui like vlc's. What config should I use? I have two pcs, one with great gpu and cpu, and another with a core2 duo and integrated. the desktop obviously wont struggle, but will my core 2 duo lag when playing 1080p chinese cartoons?

>>59523874
What the fuck are you talking about? ssimsr is not a sharpener and it looks much less bloated than just spline36

>mfw someone says mpv is for autists who need to spend hours in a config file/terminal
I'm a windowsfag who doesn't understand anything technical and mpv is actually easier to get set up than MPC-HC.
Literally just copy someone's config text and paste it into a text file in the folder and you're done for life.
Then I can move that folder to any computer and immediately have a perfect video player without installing shit.
It also looks sleek as hell.

would anyone be kind enough to help a retarded linux anon configure mpv? just post a config for me to use please, I have a powerful pc so I just want something that looks the best, without fucking around with filters (for mongolian animations)

>>59523905
the spline image is overall very soft. yes, it's bloated, but because the whole image is very soft, it's not as distracting.

the ssimsr image is partially quite sharp, but some of the edges are still very "fat", which makes the whole image look like a watercolor painting to my eyes. i find this much more objectionable than the softness in the spline image.

it's true that the lines are just as fat, or even fatter in the spline image, but the combination of sharpness and fat lines in the ssimsr image just looks very unnatural to me.

ssimsr is not a sharpener per se, but if you look at what changes it applies to the image, sharpening is what it usually ends up doing. at least that's what's most obvious. i just wish ssimsr would also learn how to thin edges. that would make it a much better algorithm.

>>59524004
See >>59519683

>>59524011
ssimsr is trying to restore structure of the image (you know what ssim means?) after upscaling, it looks as close as possible to the original image, and it already knows "how to thin edges" and does that.

>>59524034
thanks

>>59524044
ssimsr is measuring the error of the upscaled image compared to the original and tries to reduce this error, while also taking ssim into account. it's a clever algorithm, but judging by the screenshots, it does *not* properly thin edges at all, or else the ssimsr image wouldn't be as bloated as it is.

>>59524225
That's because you are comparing this screenshots to incorrectly upscaled image by NGU. Guess why madshi doesn't recommend using superres with it? Because NGU has "enhancing" techniques and to superres those enhancements are just artifacts which it tries to remove.

thanks to the great tineye search machine, i just found the attached image. which proves you (and ssimsr) wrong, and ngu right.

>>59524380
Because NGU knows how to revert downscaling artifacts, but ssimsr is still more similar to lowres image than ngu, that's my point.

>>59524423
you're right that ngu is optimized for reverting a prior downscaling operation. even madshi said so himself. i suppose it makes some sense, considering that dvds are usually downscales from 1080p masters, and blu-rays are often downscales from 4k masters.

i guess the jury is still out how ngu fares when upscaling natural images that weren't (ever) downscaled. the problem with judging that is that it's hard to scientifically test that because if you don't want downscaling to be involved, you automatically don't have a hi-res image to compare the upscale to, so who's going to (objectively!) judge which upscaled image looks more correct?

one surpising fact to note here, though, is that ngu didn't even thin the edges strong enough!! i originally thought it might have gone overboard, but obviously it didn't.

>>59524380
And look what happens to ngu when image hasn't been downscaled >>59506093

>>59524480
that's an artificial test pattern, which was made to test ringing behaviour. i really like this test image. however, it's not well suited to test overall real world (photo/video) upscaling quality.

from a scientific point of view, real world material is usually nicely anti-aliased. in real world material, you never have a full white pixel right next to a black or very dark pixel (except in subtitles, maybe), or else you would get terrible aliasing. so in order to test real world performance of ngu, you should test with real world material.

Probably will be similar to nnedi3.

Apparently there's an mpv android app on the Play store. Is it as good as the PC version? Should I use software or hardware decoding in it?

>>59524725
youtube-dl integration.

I recently got the Android app on my Nexus 5 and holy shit, it handles my 10bit cartoons at 720p so much better than MX Player.

Thank you, based memepv.

Why not adding grain to SSimSuperRes shader to make it a little bit less bloated?

>>59526027
adding grain might help a bit with the watercolor look, in the same way it also helps ngu there. however, grain won't make lines thinner, so it will not help with the bloating (bloating = fat lines).

>>59526049
Any lines thinner shader yet?

>>59526092
the only line thinning algo i know is the avisynth plugin "awarpsharp2", also available in madvr as "thin lines". but i don't like it much, to be honest. it can produce nice results for anime content, if used carefully, but it tends to distort everything. basically it thins lines by a certain amount, regardless of whether they *should* be thinned or not. if you choose too high values, it can even thin lines so much that they totally disappear! i don't think it's a good filter to use for real world material. except maybe for anime, as mentioned above.

>>59526269
Yes current line thinning algorithms distort too much.
I don't think it's possible to really avoid this, even ngu has distortion issues but people like this feature so much.

>>59526394
have to agree. i can live with the relatively mild ngu distortion, though, when softening the output a bit. the biggest problem with ngu i have is that it makes some lines nicely thin while keeping others untouched. sometimes even one section of a line is made thinner while another section of the same line stays bloated. that can look pretty ugly. but edge softening also softens this issue to some extent for me.

I am using this config currently, which has been updated over the last year, so maybe some of what I use is obsolete or nonsensical.

When I play a video in fullscreen, I have about 50% GPU usage (RX480 8GB), when I play it at a scale of 2, 100% GPU usage, scale of 1 ~40% GPU.

Any idea which setting is the culprit for this high a usage?

Exactly why is MPV better than MPC-HC (with madvr, ReClcok, etc), or vice versa? I just now made myself a desktop that can do some high quality video rendering, so I'm curious.

>>59530840
cause it can even use vapourwave filters that are much better than you can get in mpv, if you can only properly set it up

>>59502831
Why use a media player? Just write one yourself.

Not that guy, but I use haasnsoft and sigmoid-slope=10.

How do I make mpv open videos in windows the size of their native resolutions?

It used to do this by default, but now it's opening all videos at my maximum screen resolution instead. I've read through the manual and tried several things such as --video-zoom=0 but nothing seems to work.

The closest I've gotten is using the --video-unscaled option which makes it so that the video is at its native resolution but the window still occupies 100% of my screen space.

>>59532815
do you have autofit in your config?

>>59532844
I have autofit-larger=100%

I tried commenting out the line already to see if that was causing the problem but it didn't change anything.

>>59532815
>>59532861
Ah, I found the problem.

>--hidpi-window-scale, --no-hidpi-window-scale
>(OS X and X11 only) Scale the window size according to the backing scale factor (default: yes). On regular HiDPI resolutions the window opens with double the size but appears as having the same size as on none-HiDPI resolutions. This is the default OS X behavior.

After reading this, I tried using the --no-hidpi-window-scale option, not really expecting it to work, but to my surprise it did.

Does anyone know if --ao=openal has been removed from mpv? Or is there any other way to get HRTF?

>>59532920 again
I don't understand why this option was even effecting me though since I don't have a HiDPI screen. I think my screen's DPI is only 92...

>>59501772
I do not use a software application in which Windows Installer is not for download. Absolutely hideous! Lol

>>59532943
>openal

[ao] Audio output openal not found!

Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

>>59532943
Wait, MPV supports HRTF? Windowsfag here, I switched over to MPV, but back when I used MPC-HC, you had to use some black magic and a Dolby Headphone driver from a DVD player to get HRTF to work.

I tried ssimsuperres/ewa_lanczos, ngu-aa and ngu-sharp, it's clear that ssimsuperres needs a lines thinner and grain shaders to compete. However mpv has a stupid hook limit and I don't think we could make it possible without over passing this limit.

>>59533074
Not MPV per se, OpenAL did. If you send multichannel audio to OpenAL you get HRTF.

It has been at least an year since I last used mpv, so I don't know. Checking Arch's PKGBUILD to see if they disabled ao_openal, since according to github it's still there.

Wanking over this shit doesn't mean anything, we all know everyone here solely consumes anime.

Anyways, what's the best and most autistic way to upscale anime to 4K? I'm using double adaptive-sharpen-2pass along with ssimsuperres with 5 taps for everything. It looks sort of artificial but at least it's not a blurry mess.

They don't even work because of a shaders hook limit. You can use only 1 additional shader along with ssimsuperres.

>>59536805
Huh, guess you're right. I used to have nnedi3 or superxbr or something + double adaptive sharpen but replaced it with ssimsuperres and just left the sharpen.
