What CPU and GPU do you guys recommend for a 4K HTPC?
Also which upscaling method should I use(in mpv of course).

Anyway to remove the play/pause symbols from the display?

You must have a serious case of autism, if you can keep posting this over and over and over and over again.

>>60424461
mpv has better contrast.
>>60424449
Can you show the render settings that you used for each player? Also why does hardware utilization worries you? Are you a lapcuck?

It's a desktop. GPU is a Titan X Pascal, btw. All players use D3D9 output and DXVA2 decodeing, except MPC which uses Cuda

>Can you show the render settings that you used for each player? Also why does hardware utilization worries you? Are you a lapcuck?
There's no point in asking. They never post the full config. I think they're using vo=direct3d and hwdec=dxva2-copy, which I think takes an expensive software conversion path. That would explain the high CPU usage, anyway. The default settings would work a lot better (but don't expect Femanon to ever post a screenshot with the default config, since mpv probably wins.)
>>
>>60424821
>full config
hwdec=dxva2-copy
vo=direct3d

Default config is hwded opengl and vo still d3d, which makes things even worse in terms of CPU usage
>>
>>60424859
>vo=direct3d
Don't use this. There is almost no valid reason to use vo=direct3d.

>which makes things even worse in terms of CPU usage
I don't believe you. Change your config to (just) this and post CPU usage:
hwdec=auto
>>
>>60424922
>hwdec=auto switches to opengl
No it doesn't. There is no such thing as an "opengl" hwdec. On Windows, mpv supports using DXVA2 or D3D11 for hardware decoding. Both hwdecs can share the image with any opengl backend without copying through system memory, but it can't do this with vo=direct3d (because you're not supposed to use vo=direct3d.)

>Removing vo=direct3d is the same, it will still use direct3d, that's what Fraps indicates.
This is probably because it's using the ANGLE backend, which is OpenGL ES3 running on top of D3D11. This will be much faster than vo=direct3d on D3D11 capable hardware, and it can use zero-copy hardware decoding.

It's not actually important whether it's using Direct3D or not. What's important is that you're not using vo=direct3d. vo=direct3d activates very old unmaintained codepaths in mpv. Chances are, when you're using it, mpv will be doing most of its rendering in software on the CPU. If you use the default settings (vo=opengl,) mpv can do much more in hardware on the GPU.
>>
>>60424922
>>60424981
Note: If the default settings really do perform badly for you, you can change the OpenGL backend with opengl-backend=dxinterop or opengl-backend=win. The former performs better for some people, but it's not the default because it doesn't work with switchable graphics. The latter is a traditional OpenGL rendering path and it will show up as OpenGL in Fraps.
>>
>>60424981
>hwdec=dxva2-copy
Removing this switches to software (Using cuda-copy improves a bit further over dxva2)

>vo=direct3d
Removing this switches to opengl

I got them mixed up there. With defaults (these removed) CPU usage skyrockets to 55-60%
>>
>>60425065
Did you add hwdec=auto?
>>
>>60425072
Yes, I tried removing it, it's the same as auto
>>
>>60425080
Removing the hwdec option is not the same as hwdec=auto, it's the same as hwdec=off.
>>
>>60425090
That actually fixes it o.O At least on a video that I tried. What is it using? Does MPV has a log or some on-screen details about what (or rather how) it's playing?
>>
>>60425117
Yep. If you launch mpv from a command prompt with --v it will print a bunch of stuff about what it's doing. You can also set the log-file option to something like log-file=log.txt if you don't want to use the command prompt. Since you're on Windows 7, it's probably using D3D11 through ANGLE and DXVA2 (non-copyback.)

There is a user-script for on-screen stats, but I don't think it says anything useful about the rendering backend (it's more about file-related statistics, though it also has rendering times):
https://github.com/Argon-/mpv-stats

You can sort of figure out that whether it's using hardware decoding from that script from the pixel format. If it's using DXVA2, the pixel format will be dxva2_vld. If it's using CPU copyback, the pixel format will be nv12.
>>

Thanks, I will try it

>>60424554
That's shows me nothing, when I said render settings I meant which upscalers and shaders you here using for each player.
