/mpv/ - General mpv Thread:

Generally no. Software decoding is always the most accurate and has the most features available.

Where is it?

>>59791083
Do you need to use your CPU while decoding your videos?

>>59791130
idk

>>59791147
If you are compiling or doing some other cpu intensive task while watching videos in the background, use the hw decoder as it moves the strain from your cpu to your gpu. Assuming you are using gpu hw acceleration.

>>59791083
>Should I use HW decoding or not?
No, unless you need to save energy or your CPU can't handle decoding

how can i improve my playback quality?

since we're at it...
1) How do I launch mpv instance with no window focus? (yeah, im on windows and I use watch-with-mpv ffox addon)
2) Does anybody here use mpv with livestreamer/streamlink? Unlike mpchc I've used before, the memory and cpu usage of mpv grows to ridiculous numbers after some time, like it's trying to store the whole livestream in memory. No idea why.
>inb4 use yt-dl
I do, but it doesn't support all the websites I watch, so sometimes I have to use streamlink.
It might be an issue with the streamlink itself, but it seem to "just work" with mpchc.
3) I've asked a few weeks ago how to permamently disable fullscreen in mpv, and some anon was kind enough to provide me with lua script you can add to your mpv.conf.
I'm a total faggot and I've lost this script. Anyone could write it for me, please? (the goal is to disable fs completely, I got rid of all mouse and kb shortcuts for it, but sometimes when using --on-top and having window size equal to display size mpv autoswitches to exclusive fullscreen mode.

>>59794461
>1)
I don't think this is possible at the moment. mpv should unconditionally grab window focus when it creates its video window. Do any other programs support this feature?

>2)
This is interesting. Is the large memory usage in mpv's process or streamlink's process? I don't think this is intentional, since mpv's memory cache should be limited to 75MB. If mpv's memory usage grows past 75MB, it's probably a memory leak. Which streamlink options are you using (stdin, http or named pipe?)

>3)
Which opengl backend are you using? One of the reasons that the dxinterop and angle backends exist is because it's basically impossible to prevent WGL drivers from entering fullscreen exclusive mode. Some of them will do it when the window size matches the screen size, regardless of what type of window it is. On the other hand, dxinterop and angle should never enter fullscreen exclusive mode.

>>59794609
>2)
Not him, but it's definitely a memory leak. I'm watching stream at the moment, and at the beginning mpv's memory usage was ~40Mb, now it's almost 200 after ~30 minutes. Using with --player-continuous-http --hls-segment-threads=2 options.

>>59794787
Actually seems like memory growth stopped at 193Mb.

>>59794804
Yeah, if it stops, it might not be a leak. 193MB could just be the size of the stream cache + demuxer cache + mpv's other internal structures. Otherwise, if usage keeps growing and it's reproducible, it's probably worth creating an issue report on GitHub.

>>59794929
It doesn't grow any more

Does this look all right?

>>59795185
Yeah, looks fine. The last four options could probably be removed, since they're included in the opengl-hq profile, but I understand wanting to keep them in case the opengl-hq profile is changed in new versions of mpv.

I didn't know this. They probably use precise seeks when scrubbing, but mpv's OSC uses keyframe seeks. Use Baka-MPlayer then.

>>59795400
So do you actually use Baka-MPlayer? If you do, feel free to discuss it in these threads. It's libmpv based, so there's no need to be antagonistic. Bomi is less clear-cut, because it still has an in-tree copy of mpv, so it's more of a mpv fork than a libmpv user.

Thanks for your answers, I'm using some opengh-hq with lanczos sharp mix I found on the internet, not sure about streamlink options - will check when I'll be back home.
About memory leak - it's on mpv side, not streamlink. Task manager showed up to 10 GB consumption and about 2threads of my 4790k stuffed to the max (after playing a few hours of 1080p twitch stream)

>>59795472
Why would you set the sigmoid-slope to a different value? What's wrong with 6.5?

>>59795942
b cycle-values sigmoid-slope 10.0 6.5

>>59796126
I see no difference, which is why I'm asking.

>>59796424
Nvidia drivers caches shaders automatically IIRC

>>59796502
Maybe that's why ANGLE shader compile is slow, that glsl->hlsl conversion bypasses driver cache or something

>>59794256
Meme shaders are what people want today.
Some people have specific madVR presets for almost every possible video type (based on framerate/resolution ) and content type (movies/animes/mixed) and it's becoming insane.

However almost any meme shaders are available on igv's gist.

>>59796331
Okay yeah, the difference there is pretty obvious. 10 does seem like the sweet spot for that image.
Any particular artifacts that might arise from using 10 instead of 6.5? Ones that are noticeable at least?

>>59796577
I've seen artifacts only with ewa_lanczossharp and sigmoid-slope 11.0+
The softer scaler is the higher sigmoid-slope value you can use without experiencing any artifacts, but there is no reason to go beyond 10.0.

>>59796559
I don't understand the desire for these meme shaders. Most things are getting good quality rips from Amazon and such and those usually look fantastic on their own, they don't need ugly filters to look "good".

Post configs.

>>59796730
Fuck off.

>>59796667
I do use ewa_lanczossharp though. So it should be fine at 10 still? Looking at that image it seems that going above 10 has the same effects as going under 10 anyway.

I just started using mpv and it's very nice so far.
I installed using brew on osx 10.9 and have been using it for streaming youtube, but I have a couple questions.
Is there someway to reduce startup time when using to stream a video? There's about a 10+ second wait when streaming from youtube or similar. Maybe I need to update ffmpeg?
Should I be concerned I used

brew install mpv

? I'm seeing a lot of examples that install from HEAD and add a bunch of flags, is my mpv build inferior because of this?
Should I be tweaking the default config right now?
