Current state of FSRCNN

Why does it seem everywhere I look, people say mitchell is good at upscaling, and lanczos is better for downscaling, while the mpv manual states mitchell is best for downscaling and ewa_lanczossharp is the best for upscaling.

https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=15742
(ImageMagick defaults to mitchell for upscaling and lanczos for downscaling)

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/384991/what-is-the-best-image-downscaling-algorithm-quality-wise
The top answer claims a survey of professional cinematographers claims that mitchell was the top rated for upscaling and "sinc" (assumed to be lanczos) was rated the best for downscaling.

tech illiterate here, i'm on mac os and really happy with mpv since it handles really high res video way better than vlc and any other program i've tried. my question is how can i get it to resume videos from the last played position? google around a bit but no luck so far...

1. When you implement it yourself.
2. When you find a example of actual Matroska hard segment linking (NextUID/PrevUID) in the wild. (This is not the same thing as ordered chapters.)

>>61503346
>>61503424
It seems like that line about mitchell was originally suggested to be put in by lachs0r http://0x0.st/92

When it was made the default for opengl-hq, the commit note says "several people agree that it's a good filter for downscaling", despite what general opinion seems to be
http://0x0.st/9_

Guess we would need an mpv dev or somebody who knows better to tell which one is correct.

also, 4chan's spam filter is fucking horrible, so short links.

Probably because the source is the same size as your monitor (1920x1080), so the scaler is disabled (see --scaler-resizes-only.)

For people that ask which downscaler is better. This image was made on avsforums by some experts and approved by madshi few years ago. As far as i remember people always suggested to use catmull_rom (bicubic 50) for downscaling (in madVR). Its sharper than mitchell but is somewhat less natural and has more aliasing and doesnt hide source artifacts. In theory mitchell is better for downscaling. Plus SSIM is designed by igv to work with mitchell.

Why does it say scale=billinear even though I have set scale=ewa_lanczossharp?

>>61504556
Not quite, waifu2x has a few different models. The ones corresponding to anime aren't anime itself but rather "anime-style artwork". This includes stuff like fan-art, manga covers and promo-art, doujin stuff, etc...

Real anime (and 2D animation in general) has all sorts of things that never show up in artwork like squash and stretch:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_and_stretch
http://animationsmears.tumblr.com/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haa7n3UGyDc

tl;dr: waiffu2x is trained on anime-style art which is analogous to comics. This is different from training it on cartoon still-frames.

Dat intel. Its not possible to use dxva as upscaler in mpv, right? Could be cool for people with older intel iGPU's.

Got a question about my config (see >>61505046 )

Does it make sense to use lanczos on 4k videos if I have a 1080p screen and like sharp images or will the image get "too sharp"?

You can also add SSSR shader.

You dont need any hardware acceleration. It might only be necessary for some super heavy 4K test video. Hardware acceleration often fucks shit up. If you can its better avoid it.
>I don't know much about shaders but why SSSR over FineSharp?
FineSharp is better used with higher quality sources or after doublers (like nnedi3) only because it sharpens artifact. SSSR is less picky about source and in theory provides image close to the ground truth original. Plus SSSR has built in antiringing.

How the sweet fuck to I get vp9 hw acceleration on Windows?

I have 1080p vp9 60fps webm video from youtube, if I play it in Chrome or on youtube it is hw accelerated but if I open in in mpv it isn't.

>>61505702
>Hardware acceleration often fucks shit up. If you can its better avoid it.
I keep hearing this meme and I think it's just the same anon posting it over and over again.

It may be anecdotal but I've never had any problems with hardware acceleration. I mean it's possible that on some hardware configurations, on some operating systems, with some drivers, some users may experience some problems on some files.

As far as quality degradation, I think that depends on what is being decoded and with what hardware. From looking at the github issue tracker a bit it looks like it's limited mostly to corner cases and unsupported stuff that should no longer even be possible to trigger.

>>61505796

No but it's a matter of principle, I should be able to use hwdec when the machine I spent good money on does it well.

Doesn't do fuck all unfortunately, I've tried auto, dxva* (all crap), d3d11va (works best for me with everything but vp9) as well as various backends win (works but no improvement), dxinterop (completely not working) and cuda (only copy works and also no vp9 hwdec).

Its not a meme. Its been known for ages. Its always suggested (even by madVRfags on doom9) to be turned off if possible.

Try using that script that gives you performance stats and see which one performs better.

>>61505702
>Hardware acceleration often fucks shit up. If you can its better avoid it.
I have just been trying out different shaders to find out which one suits me the best and hardware acceleration adds some artifacts to the image lol. Maybe I can record it. Seems like you're right

>>61506217
Cuda seems way faster under windows: 3.8 ms to render a frame with cuda and more than 10 with dxva2.

>>61506286
That probably has less to do with windows and more to do with your GPU and video card drivers.

>>61506286
That's because with cuda your GPU works at highest frequency always.

So is this media player the equivalent of arch Linux for people with autism? Because all I see ITT is a bunch of losers jerking themselves off to each other's configuration lists.

Just use what works you gays.

>>61506452
fuck they still do. Maybe I should just stop using FineSharp

>>61506502
Is this latest version of FineSharp?
Angle or dxinterop?

>>61506494
It is a media player that "just werks" on default settings but has a "high setting" (opengl-hq) for people with higher end components.

All of the configuration stuff you see ITT is due to the fact that mpv exposes a bunch of extra functionality for people who want to do extra things with it (in particular people use special means of interpolating images to smooth out or increase the framerate and use special scaling/sharpening techniques to increase the quality of lower quality video) or just want to tweak some settings for their particular setup (eg. configuring whether or not to use a GPU for different parts of the process).

It only looks complicated at first glance because you're seeing lots of people posting about lots of different configurations for lots of different setups but really it isn't very complicated at a user by user level. The mpv.conf info in the OP is pretty reasonable high quality settings (though mid-lower end hardware users may not want to add in the scaling options).

>>61501309
Do these spikes only show up near the beginning, or do they happen every now and then?

On the first few frames, I'd expect spikes due to the GPU allocating resources and compiling shaders, but after that they should be cached.

Every difference matters, no matter how small it is. You're being a stupid subhuman who doesn't pay attention to details. It's like slightly compressing an audio track. Sometimes you can't actively hear a difference but subconsciously it does make a difference. You're simply too heavy-handed.

That is actually a pretty intuitive interface. Well done.

Okay it's working now. Turns out I was on a old version of mpv. Thanks you guys.

>>61507680
You can already choose if you want to capture subs using encode.lua

default config is

codec=-an -sn -c:v libvpx -crf 10 -b:v 1000k

an = no audio
sn = no subs

>>61507751
and it only took an hour and three people telling you to update mpv to figure it out

>>61507288
>>61507321
Someone should make an update script that grabs the latest versions or something. I can think of a few quick and shitty ways to do it but the version support could be a problem.

>eg. being on 2.5 and accidentally updating to a 2.6-only script

Package managers in general are a nightmare so maybe the problem is better left ignored..

>>61507761
I like using only_active_tracks so you can toggle audio/subs on and off.

if the subs are visible and options.hardsub=true, it will "burn" the subs on the video. and, as >>61507761 said, removing "-sn" will make it a softsub.

the default encode flags disable audio, removing "-an" should work.

I'm new to MPV and honestly I didn't know they updated so regularly.

At the time I thought I had the newest version.

I'm really sorry for wasting people's time.

>>61507904
A new release only came out recently, I think it's been a few months since 0.25 came out.

>>61507849
There already is an update script for shinchiro's builds.

>>61507903
also, forgot to say, windows users will need to place the ffmpeg binary with mpv. https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ worked for me.

>>61507904
don't apologize on 4chan faggot

>>61507903
Ugh Lua is really a pain to read.

>>61507962
Why are you using an external ffmpeg? Cannot you just use mpv's inbuilt? Like in encode.lua:

    local args = {
        "ffmpeg",
        "-loglevel", "panic", "-hide_banner", --stfu ffmpeg
        "-i", input_path,
        "-ss", seconds_to_time_string(from, false),
        "-to", seconds_to_time_string(to, false)
    }

>Look at screenshots between mpv and MPC-HC w/ MadVR on my desktop
>They look exactly the same
>Look at same screenshots but rendered on my laptop
>MPC-HC looks much better, mpv looks washed out in comparison

So what's the point of mpv? I got a beefier graphics card on my desktop and a weaker on my laptop, it seems like MPC-HC makes better use of my hardware.

>>61508063
encode.lua does require an external ffmpeg binary, unless I'm missing something.
also, this lua was autogenerated from the moonscript, which should be more readable. look down on the gist.

>>61507903
Cool, I'm happy you were able to make something better for you out of my scripts.

>>61508063
But this also calls an external ffmpeg. On linux it's not a problem because ffmpeg is a dependency of mpv, but on windows you need to add the binary to the mpv's folder. Sucks desu

>>61508127
nvm, just forgot I added ffmpeg to my PATH

>>61508096
whats your config?

>>61508183
I just followed the installation instructions and haven't messed with that yet. I tried Googling "best mpv config" several different ways but nobody has a guide for it like MPC-HC does. Is there a config tier list for different kinds of hardware?

>>61508241
Yea, I'm sure a configured madvr install will look better than default mpv.
try adding whats in the OP to mpv.conf

>>61508096
Have you created an mpv.conf file? It's possible you may want some slightly different configs on your desktop and laptop given the differences in hardware.

>>61508096
mpv's default settings are made to look as close to VLC as possible, because that prevents users from complaining.

If you don't know why you would want to mpv, you don't need it.

>>61508601
A language that compiles down to lua, and is supposedly better. I personally don't like adding such layers.

>>61508548
I was refering to the succinct mpv.conf sample.
A lot of people are just copy-pasting this without thinking. And it's not even explained how scale differs from cscale, nor how to configure hwdec.

You mean like the official release notes?

>>61507903
Does it work on youtube videos?
Convert.lua https://gist.github.com/Zehkul/25ea7ae77b30af959be0 works on youtube videos but for some reason the quality is garbage a lot of the time. I'm guessing it's setting the bitrate wrong because it's a stream or something?

>>61508652
Those things are explained, in the manual. That mpv.conf could be expanded to not be shit and include interpolation, with maybe a short comment after each option to explain what it is.

How do I get mousewheel volume to work?

>>61508682
mousehover volume icon

>>61508690
I removed the OSD because it's bloat.

>>61508682

>>61508593
I do use Linux, but it seems impractical to create packages for individual mpv scripts (though maybe that is the best solution).

>>61508681
This. I like the way compton's conf file lists options (so at least you know they exist).

It might be good to have a quick-start version of the manual as well since it's mostly new users that struggle with this.

>>61508659
The most important stuff from it that people might miss.

>>61508724
>I do use Linux, but it seems impractical to create packages for individual mpv scripts (though maybe that is the best solution).
Are you using gentoo? This should be relatively trivial with an ebuild, especially if you want daily updates from git.

>>61508601
https://moonscript.org/
Not a fan of it though. It feels like writing ruby and compiling it to C.

>>61508731
But what's important depends on the person, no?

>>61508661
It does? I'm surprised to hear that, I need to look into how it works.

>>61508652
>>61508681

profile=opengl-hq            #sets a couple of high quality options
cscale=ewa_lanczos            #chroma upscaler
scale=ewa_lanczossharp        #luma upscaler
video-sync=display-resample    #tries to match video to display
interpolation=yes            #tries to remove judder
tscale=oversample            #interpolation scaler

This is what I'd recommend. Anything else is too specific, and should be read in the manual. Also, just using code tags would make the config more readable.

>>61508682
Add a keybinding?

>>61508769
>I need to look into how it works.
He already explained to you, it works because it calls `mpv` to do the encoding instead of `ffmpeg`. Since mpv supports youtube, so does the script.

>>61508773
Calling it a luma upscaler is misleading and wrong

>>61508719
Where do I put this?
And does add volume -2 have an alias of subtract volume 2?

>>61508746
I'm on arch, it is also trivial with pkgbuilds/aur. I just don't feel like it's an elegant solution is all.

>>61508773
This.
Exactly what I meant.

>>61508804
Feel free to improve it, I'm also not sure if the video-sync or interpolation explanations are actually correct. Luma scaler seems like what it does in practice, but I guess it's wrong.

>>61508810
The only thing I find unelegant about it is that these package managers have no concept of “user-local” packages, just system-wide.

That's actually a serious shortcoming I think every major package management system has. Maybe you could use something like `Nix` locally, though?

>>61508601
moonscript. a bit better than pure lua, not by much though.

>>61508661
no, only with local files.

>>61508793
did mpv keep mencoder? how does this works?

>>61508847
I think it uses this
https://mpv.io/manual/master/#encoding
Not sure if all ffmpeg parameters could be converted into this. But then again it alleviates the need for a separate ffmpeg.

>>61508805
input.conf

>>61500419
What does /mpv/ think of Plex Media Player? Plex uses mpv and I've started using it for playing everything because of the automatic metadata downloading.

>>61508932
Using closed sourced software to manage your pirated content seems stupid.

>>61508886
yeah, it seems to support everything i use right now, i'll change the script to use mpv and see how it goes.

>>61508844
I actually do also use Nix alongside Pacman but only for Haskell/Agda programming. Nix is nicer for some things but since mpv relies on Cuda and all sorts of stuff I'm not sure it's really practical, especially not just for handling a few scripts.

Package managers are kind of a mess, imo. I like Pacman but it has some shortcomings on rare occasions. Nix would be great if it were further along and had greater adoption.

Programming language package managers are a nightmare as well. The only good one is NPM (for Node.js), it has some interesting support for local and global packages. Python's package manager is bullshit.

All that said, any linux package manager is better than what Windows does. Chocolatey is a step in the right direction but still not quite there due to it having to deal with years of shitty packaging practices from windows software devs.

>>61508752
Yes, and something is better than nothing so even if someone list his personal important changes I believe it would still be better to inform people that don't follow the development so they don't stay oblivious. It could potentially reduce the spam of similar questions (at lest a bit), or maybe not, it seems most people don't like reading.

>>61508963
I wonder how it works with youtube-dl, though. Does it redownload the extract, possibly from the beginning? If it works well I might change that in encode.lua too.

>>61508977
>The only good one is NPM (for Node.js)
STOP

Some ideas to update the op...
Feel free to correct me or add stuff.

Config example:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/etc/mpv.conf

For better playback quality paste this in your mpv.conf file:

# Specify high quality video rendering preset
profile=opengl-hq       
# Scaler used when upscaling chroma (color information)   
cscale=ewa_lanczos       
# Scaler used when upscaling video   
scale=ewa_lanczossharp        
# Force video to lock on the display's refresh rate
video-sync=display-resample    
# Reduces stuttering
interpolation=yes
# Interpolation scaler
tscale=oversample            

Notes: Remove cscale and scale lines if your computer isn't powerful enough.
Interpolation can also reduce framerate drastically.

Getting freezes under Windows ?
Add

angle-flip=no

to your mpv.conf.

Starting from 0.26.0, MOUSE_BTN3 and MOUSE_BTN4 are replaced by MOUSE_BTN4 and AXIS_DOWN in input.conf.

>>61509024
mpv -start <something> <youtube URL> issues a seek to the underlying transport, so it wouldn't need to redownload anything.

>>61509053
My #1 option to add would be opengl-pbo which can massively improve performance of texture uploads on all platforms where it works

>>61508773
Could also use some commented out alternatives.
Links to the relevant manual pages would also be nice.
It's almost as if a GUI with tooltips is a superior interface than a config file...

>>61509053
>replaced by MOUSE_BTN4 and AXIS_DOWN
AXIS_UP and AXIS_DOWN

>>61507903
I just used your webm.lua but it doesn't seems to work, I cropped the part of the video I wanted to create a webm out of and encoded it, I went to the same folder as the video but the webm isn't there.
Yes I downloaded ffmpeg and my cpu even ran up for a few seconds with the ffmpeg process after I hit the encode"e".

>>61509084
That's going to far I think. If people really need that, then they should just use VLC in my opinion. Alternatives are available right there in the manual with a simple ctrl+f.

>>61509069
no, it makes problems. some x265 rips don't work with opengl-pbo enabled

>>61508952
That's literally what it's meant for though. Why else would somebody need a program that automatically fills in all of the free space for stuff like casting and box art? If you bought it legally, you wouldn't need it.

>>61509094
by default it saves on your home directory. will change this, it was what i was testing before i published.
change this line:

local options = {
  keybind = "W",
  -- If empty, saves on the same directory of the playing video.
  output_directory = "~", -- set this to ""

>>61509084
Well feel free to make a GUI for all 708 options and 70k words in the man page. Nobody's stopping you.

Personally I would highly recommend you try and auto-generate the dialogs from the mpv built-in option introspection mechanism (via IPC) and/or the source code of the man page.

It's a video player. Your mommy isn't going to give you any good boy points because you spent six months learning a terrible interface.

>>61509053
Maybe add a tier list for scaling vs resource intensive?
ewa_lanczossharp > ewa_lanczos > etc...
As well as a note saying that they're not default in opengl-hq because they're sometimes too resource intensive for some users?

Also, add a line of whitespace separating the last three options and a comment linking to this page?
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/Display-synchronization

Just suggestions since scaling and display synchronization are both kind of weird sets of options in terms of not being part of opengl-hq and it not being super clear on why they're there.

There should maybe also be a note about hardware decoders unless the default is just hwdec=auto.

>>61509165
No, I just think development time shouldn't be wasted on features that have less priority than making the core good. If people really want a good GUI, then they can do that already anyway, I don't think the mpv team should focus on that in any way right now.

>>61509195
The great thing about mpv being an open-source project is that everybody's free to spend time on whatever they feel is important.

I personally spend pretty much all of my time improving the rendering algorithms and performance, and don't touch the UI or options system etc. at all. Why? Because I think the current is fine and would rather invest my time in something where I see a potential for improvement. I also don't give a shit about windows or OS X, because I think any minute spent supporting those braindead platforms is a waste of time.

Other developers obviously seem to disagree. It's all a question of who actually feels like doing something.

The fact that MPlayer/mplayer2/mpv has been around for almost 20 years and there's still not a GUI I take as a pretty strong sign that actual programmers don't seem to think a GUI would be an improvement. I personally don't, either.

So if you want a GUI that badly, I'm afraid you're probably going to have to become a programmer and write your own. Except that by the time you're a programmer, you'll probably be able to think more logically and be better at using computers, so you will no longer think a GUI is a good idea.

change it on additional_flags, inside options

 additional_flags = "-an -sn -b:v 1000k -crf 10",

setting "-b:v 0 -crf (something)" enables constant quality, "-b:v (something) -crf (something)" enables constrained quality (will try to achieve crf, while under the bitrate specified in b:v)
also, if you want to increase the quality you want to lower the crf, not increase it, afaik.

>>61509253
vo_vulkan doesn't support any of the advanced rendering features, those are all currently opengl exclusive.

>I don't see a difference
Please for the love of god, leave it at that. Trust me, training yourself to see video artifacts is the worst life decision you can possibly make.

>>61509317
Yep, and use mpv to play back everything. That's sort of my current solution.

1. Don't actually watch things anymore

Um looks like buttons have been remaped, so MOUSE_BTN3 and MOUSE_BTN4 aren't related to scrollwheel anymore.

Is using --log-file that hard ?

That's fine, the other great thing about open source is that writing non-commercial software means I have no public image to uphold.

>>61509391
Well the first question to ask is “what are you testing for?”

If you're testing upscaling -> use a file that has a lower resolution than your display
If you're testing interpolation -> use a file that has a lower framerate than your display, ideally one with a fractional ratio (which results in judder in VLC etc.)
If you're testing color management -> use a video file that has a color space other than your real one, e.g. anything BT.2020
If you're testing debanding -> use a video file that has heavy banding

It depends a lot of what feature you're trying to test for. But I can help you find a good source clip to demonstrate the effects of any renderer option in mpv, if you want me to.

>>61509425
>Um looks like buttons have been remaped, so MOUSE_BTN3 and MOUSE_BTN4 aren't related to scrollwheel anymore.
No, the other anon is right. It depends on the platform.

The reason is simple: Platforms report scroll events differently. On some platforms, like linux, they're considered input events - like keys being pressed. On other platforms, high-resolution scrolling is reported as an analog “axis” so you get full precision rotation deltas.

Different type of input, different handling, different event name in mpv.

>>61509479
What video emphasizes the differences between features of mpv and MPC-HC most clearly in your opinion? I just want an example where I can try and look for a difference of some kind.

>>61509508
Thanks for the clear explanation, I'm gonna correct it.

>>61509517
>What video emphasizes the differences between features of mpv and MPC-HC most clearly in your opinion? I just want an example where I can try and look for a difference of some kind.
If you want to see a difference, you'll need to configure them differently. You can configure mpv to look exactly like MPC-HC or exactly like VLC if you want to. In fact, this is pretty much what mpv tries doing out of the box, so that users will stop complaining about their colors being “different compared to VLC” or whatever.

The real reason for any potential visual difference is because mpv supports more configuration options than pretty much any other player. This will make a difference if whatever options you want to set are not supported by MPC-HC/VLC, for example HDR support, color management, EWA scaling, interpolation, high quality downscaling and so on.

If you just want to “hurr see difference” then try setting MPC-HC to output TV levels and mpv to output PC levels (or vice versa). That's a bug that e.g. VLC is notorious for getting wrong (results in blacks looking dark gray).

>>61509437
Hm... I don't use software because I like the developers. I would use some asshole's code if it were great.
This is purely how I see you as a person. You probably don't care about that, I know. I wanted to say it nonetheless.
After all, if all people were like you (arrogant douchebag, to a degree), the world would be a way shittier place overall.
(But we would have a lot more software with proper colors, I give you that)

>high quality downscaling
This one in particular is pretty fun and easy to demonstrate. Try comparing these two:

>mpv cms/rings_lg_orig.png --no-config --pause --video-unscaled --video-zoom=-1.5 --dscale=mitchell
vs
>mpv cms/rings_lg_orig.png --no-config --pause --video-unscaled --video-zoom=-1.5 --dscale=mitchell --correct-downscaling=yes

Now also try turning on --linear-scaling, and you should see another obvious difference.

It's the best option if interpolation is enabled.

Why would you add a proper input.conf example, but not a mpv.conf one ?

But it's not, tscale is highly subjetive.

I don't agree with that.
But I didn't expect to change anything with that either. Just felt like mentioning it.

You got a point here, I guess it's the best to leave it to default, especially for new users.

>I also don't give a shit about windows or OS X
You're very wrong m8, windows is better in every way than linux when it comes to media consumption and OSX comes in second, don't get the wrong idea, I like the mpv gui as it is now and I like the conf files, but saying you don't give a shit about the #1 platform when it comes to media consumption is wrong.

>>61509949
Not him but I'm pretty sure it's simply about getting what he wants himself.
That's the most basic motivating factor, yet an effective one.

>>61509949
1. For myself. I need a video player that works with my wide-gamut monitor. Everything else did not, which is why I started working on mpv.

2. It's fun. I'm a programmer at heart, I love solving new and ideally difficult problems.

3. Open source means you have to do way less, because others will do it for you. Imagine if I had to write everything including the decoder for every video format myself. I would get nowhere. FOSS lets me focus on the parts I'm good at (video rendering) and ignore the parts I'm not good at (everything else in mpv).

>>61509274
But mpv is not that hard o use.

>>61509993
Not him, but you aren't making it better with such a post.
I'm pretty sure there is no best OS and if there were, we wouldn't agree on one here now.
The point I was trying to make is that this attitude of "what I use is great and I support that, everyone else eat shit" is kinda uncool.
I do develop and maintain software myself, smaller stuff, mostly, but I can't imagine me standing there like "yeah, that's how you do it/use it/compile it on <my system>, everyone else figure it out yourself" (just as an example)

>>61509425

I recently saw some aliasing in the opening of a 720p release of Kizumonogatari II and it irked me so much. Sometimes I wish I hadn't taken a course in introductory computer graphics.

>>61509260
>So if you want a GUI that badly, I'm afraid you're probably going to have to become a programmer and write your own. Except that by the time you're a programmer, you'll probably be able to think more logically and be better at using computers, so you will no longer think a GUI is a good idea.
I do programming and I'm actually a mathematical logicfag from /sci/ and I've been a linuxfag for over 15 years and I can't disagree with that statement enough. It is certainly the case that a great deal of things aren't appropriate for a gui and I can certainly agree that trying to throw all of mpv's configuration into a gui might make the application and user experience suffer on many fronts.

That said, I think we've got to approach the problem as a whole from a design perspective and consider what sorts of things are appropriate for a gui and which sorts of things are not. Consider the opposite extreme where the OSD is removed and replaced entirely by keystrokes. Would that be the best design? If a user wants to arbitrarily skip around a movie they could probably pull it off with keystrokes but would it be provide a better experience than being able to interact with a progress bar via the mouse?

madVR doesn't even run on my platform. FWIW, I did use madVR before I switched to linux, and I even wrote some software for it that would allow me to generate a good .3dlut for my platform (because I found madVR/yCMS lacking). But I'm no longer using windows and the only (sane) linux media player at the time (mplayer2) did not support color management at all.

>>61510123
>Why was it changed only now though and not documented properly?

SHAFT BDs are notorious for that kind of shit (and worse), the encoder probably just didn't do any filtering. Commie's encode should be properly filtered, whenever they get around to releasing it.

I think designing a good interface is really hard, I don't think I could pull it off. So I have absolutely no place in telling others to make one. It is something that requires a lot of tedious thinking in order to do well and often even good designers make huge mistakes. So maybe don't make one. The OSD is pretty good (once users realize how to use the mouse wheel) and mpv isn't too hard to configure after doing some reading. I am satisfied with mpv as it currently is.

If anyone here believes designing an interface is easy then I'd have to disagree.

It is also not an easy thing to outsource because there are a lot of different popular design philosophies out there that some people disagree with but that others really like. For instance, one of the most popular beliefs/tenets goes something along the lines of:
>If you are giving users a choice then you are not doing your job as a designer. It is a designer's job to make the best choices for the user.
You see this a lot in Apple products/software but it appears everywhere including a lot of Windows software, web browsers, and even some Linux distros (most prominently Ubuntu) and Linux desktop environments. This approach yields very simplified interfaces/configuration menus at the expense of customization and extra functionality. Is this what you want?

>>61510314
additional_flags = "-an -sn -b:v 0 -crf 40",

>>61510381
I think it depends on what your objective is. As far as I can tell, mpv devs want to make the backend as good as possible so that frontends such as Iina can exist.

It's precisely because it's hard to make a good interface that they'd rather have somebody else do that, while they can focus on what they find interesting.

And it's not like making a frontend is a thankless job, there is a lot of recognition to be had. Just look at how many stars Iina has on github compared to mpv.

>>61510475
Baka-MPlayer/Mochi-Player and Bomi were pretty good too, though they lacked configuration options.

>>61510475
While I agree to you, I think a lot of people (including some mpv devs) actually look down on users of front-ends and don't really honor such work of other developers.

mpv's UI is pretty much fine. If you really want to be a sloth enabler someone should make an "mpv config tool" that will write config and keybinds with a GUI that explains the various settings or a bunch of presets to choose from.

nand chan whats is your fav anime? :3

Oversample is the best scaler for removing judder without adding additional artifacts. I think oversample should be in the "default hq" profile you'd be putting in an OP, just mention that especially that scaler is highly subjective and to try out different ones. Same could be said for scale and cscale anyway.

mitchell+SSimDownscaler vs ewa_lanczos:

Conf used:
# Video

dscale=ewa_lanczos

# Screenshots
screenshot-format=png
screenshot-directory="D:\Screenshots"

The last ss in a 8k downscale.
mitchell+ssim is a clear winner for me.

I'm surprised there aren't more 3rd party ui scripts like mpv-progressbar.lua. progbar is great, love the customization options and minimalist look and i only find the mouse useful in seeking anyway.
I think most of the UI complaints are to do with the lack of menu and having to use a config file. I don't see how the current ui is lacking, you can do change volume or subtitles and seek, or do anything the average user would want to with it.

Yeah, people want to use a menu to config mpv, and have that menu tell them what the best options are and such. Though, that's not really possible anyway because shit's subjective, and those explanations are in the manual anyway.
