mpv on windows uses the equivalent of WINE-for-Windows by default, because OpenGL on Winshit usually sucks (thanks microsoft).

I guess based on your post, you're severely autistic and don't understand how human conversation works, so let me give you a hint: If you want to talk about something, then talk about it instead of sperging out. Either people will find what you're saying interesting and join in / reply, or they won't. The worst that can happen is that you waste precious minutes of your life trying to bring up a topic that nobody may be interested in.

Except, of course, if you don't actually have anything relevant to say about mpv script development yourself and are just trying to get on some kind of topic-based high horse to seem “smarter”. But that's not the case, is it? :^)

>>61723339

>tfw mpv is my video player, my image viewer and my audio player

I need some help from some mpv wizards.

Problem:
I have a 1440p monitor (two, actually). Some of the music videos I watch are available in 4k. If I play a youtube video like this,

mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39yeTdIuKJU

then mpv will open and play that video - apparently in the best possible resolution which is sometimes 4k. I would like it to play the videos in the best possible quality but limited up to 1440p. Is this possible somehow?

None of these scalers matter if your not upscaling video right?.

in mpv.conf works just fine. Didn't realize it would be fine to have it in the config file since she showed me the command with --'s, wasn't thinking.

>>61724623
The config file syntax and the command line syntax is almost exactly the same

(The only difference is that for command line switches, you need the --)

>>61724588
>ShitBilateral
How about no

>>61724577
I see because cscale is dealing with color information even though it isn't being upscaled?
>>61724588
I have all those settings enabled except for the shader which I still have to read up on more. I don't want to add random lines to my config without knowing what they do.

>>61724730
>even though it isn't being upscaled
it is being upscaled
it's just at a lower resolution than the actual video, i.e. a 1080p video will always be chroma subsampled unless it's specifically encoded to 4:4:4 so you're almost always going to be interpolating chroma information

>>61724730
>I see because cscale is dealing with color information even though it isn't being upscaled?
No. Because color information is being upscaled.

>>61724730
>>61724745
check the -v output for a 1080p file. It will usually say something like this:

[vo/opengl] Texture for plane 0: 1920x1080
[vo/opengl] Texture for plane 1: 960x540
[vo/opengl] Texture for plane 2: 960x540

Those 960x540 textures need to be upscaled to 1920x1080 for your 1080p screen.

>>61724745
>>61724763
I had no idea that color was upscaled in video but that wiki page explained a lot.

Would you generally want a a "blurrier" scaler for color information so it blends better?

>>61724440
>alias
Followed some instructions on the arch wiki that recommended adding a command to the bashrc. I guess your alias should have an almost identical outcome.

Anyway, do you have any tips on using extractors for searching?

Here is what I'm currently doing:

mpv --load-unsafe-playlists ytdl://ytsearch:"KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra World Tour FULL OST"

The ArchWiki suggests using "ytsearch10" for some reason but it's all soooo poorly documented that I have no idea what the difference even is or what other options there are.

>>61724092
>mpv on windows uses the equivalent of WINE-for-Windows by default
Get a load of this FUD. If that's the case, Chrome also uses the equivalent of """"""""WINE-for-Windows""""""""" because it uses ANGLE for all accelerated rendering.

So I just got this on Windows as well and want to change configuration but I can't find mpv.conf on it. I know it's in root in loonux but where should I place the file on Windows?

>>61724826
Yes let's compare the GPU requirement of drawing a few quads here and there to running a convolution kernel over a 4K video at 60 fps

>FUD
Look it up if you don't believe me, anon. WINE translates DirectX calls to OpenGL under the hood - ANGLE translates OpenGL calls to DirectX. Both are slow, have lots of overhead, randomly introduce performance issues, result in missing features and other breakage. Especially noticeable for mpv.

>>61724840
Either:
* Create mpv.conf where the executable is stored
* Create a /mpv folder and create mpv.conf indide
* Create mpv.conf in %appdata%/mpv

>Yes let's compare the GPU requirement of drawing a few quads here and there
And lets simplify everything a browser does to drawing a few quads.

>WINE translates DirectX calls to OpenGL under the hood - ANGLE translates OpenGL calls to DirectX.
Not really comparable. WINE is a reverse-engineered implementation of a poorly-documented proprietary API. ANGLE is one of several implementations of a public vendor-neutral API. It's just another OpenGL vendor in this case, and it's more compliant and less buggy than any of the other OpenGL vendors, especially on Windows.

>Both are slow, have lots of overhead, randomly introduce performance issues, result in missing features and other breakage.
Wrong and FUD. ANGLE outperformed WGL on my hardware until the EWA compute shader kernel was merged. Now it's slower because it doesn't support compute shaders. It will be faster again when ANGLE ships full GLES 3.1 support (Intel and NVIDIA are working on it.)

>Especially noticeable for mpv.
Where is the evidence? ANGLE support was only added to mpv because of all the issues with WGL.

Is there away to open multiple files in mpv, while creating a list and opening in just one window.

>>61724922
>on my hardware
guess you don't care about the dozens of users in these threads suffering from mpv going into dumb mode because of ANGLEL, slow performance because of ANGLE, missing features like DR because of ANGLE, etc.

>>61724689
what would you suggest

>>61725004
ewa_lanczos

>>61724933
You can simply select multiple files and drap&drop them into mpv. Then use '>' and '<' keys to navigate in the playlist.

>>61724961
>dozens of users in these threads
Trust me, there were way more Windows-specific bug reports in these threads when WGL was the default. Unavoidable stuttering, garbage vsync-jitter and unusable interpolation were common. WGL is deprecated and a second-class citizen on Windows. It does not interact with the compositor correctly.

Yes, it would be nice if dxinterop could be the default, but AMD put a stop to that by randomly BSoDing when the extension is used. In general, because vendor OpenGL drivers are total garbage on Windows, no one implements WGL_NV_DX_interop correctly. It's a hack.

>suffering from mpv going into dumb mode because of ANGLEL
Doesn't happen.

>slow performance because of ANGLE

It's questionable that DR would even improve performance with D3D11.

People on /fglt/ and here keep telling me that mpv is better than an MPC-HC + madVR setup, but every single screenshot comparison I've seen so far tells me otherwise.

Which one is better,
and more importantly: Why is that one better?

>>61725217
madvr will be better (because of NGU) until release of fully working FSRCNN.

>>61725069
No log? ANGLE would only force dumb mode if it created a GLES 2.x context, and it would only create a GLES 2.x context on feature level 10_0 hardware and below.

>>61725263
What does NGU have to do with FSRCNN?

>>61725332
They are both convolutional neural network super-resolutions.

>>61725376
>use NGU to make output targets that you use to train a neural network
>get algorithm almost identical to NGU

>>61725217
MPV with the user shaders runs way better than MPC-HC MadVR, you can then do the comparisons yourself neppu.

>>61725217
No one posts screenshot comparisons. Idunno where you got your conclusion from. BTW i switched from mpc-hc+madvr+xysubfilter beta. Id never did it if mpv outputted worse video than madvr.

>>61725315
I've feature level 11_0 and ANGLE still give dumb mode. But when I start using

profile=opengl-hq

, its disappeared. Why?

>>61719924
Why bother creating these threads and pushing MPV when you can just install ffmpeg and use ffplay?

>>61725450
If you weren't using opengl-hq, it was probably in dumb mode legitimately. mpv will use dumb mode if you aren't using any advanced renderer features.

>>61725217
mpv now thanks to haasn'ss and bjin's magic has super fast nnedi3. Its like 1.5 faster than madvr's one. I dont really care about NGU because i only watch anime and i dont like NGU's aesthetics. I currently like RAVU smoothtest1 shader for low res animu the best.

>mpv will use dumb mode if you aren't using any advanced renderer features
I dont think so. At least its is not in the dumb mode by defaults.

allow Sub Station Alpha tags on the substitle style.

>>61725497
It is though. Start mpv with --v --no-config and it will print

[vo/opengl] No advanced processing required. Enabling dumb mode.

>>61725376
wow that says absolutely nothing

>>61725386
flaw in your plan: you don't know what shape the network should have. You also don't even know if NGU is a purely convolutional neural network. It probably mixes a neural network with other tricks, like RAISSR, RAVU, NNEDI3 etc. do. (FSRCNN is the only network I know that's just literally a straight-up neural network with no other processing)

I can post NGU screenshots compared to nnedi3 if you people want. NGU is not as good as you think it is.

>>61725497
Wrong on both accounts

>>61725547
Post it compared to that meme shader setup the yuru yuri guy posted

>>61725547
Also nobody thinks NGU is actually good, it's just a meme posted by madshills who buy into it because of placebo and marketing

>>61725559
His setup was absolutely retarded...

>>61725563
This. I browse doom9 regularly and when NGU came out lots people were skeptical even some hardcore madvrfags. With time they literally learned how to love NGU and some of them became fans even without testing anything just because madshi said its good.

>>61725567
well so is NGU... gotta fight retardation with retardation, right?

>>61725595
Kek. Well, NGU is not bad really, it is just not much better than nnedi3. It might be faster but not for every GPU. I think its slower than nnedi3 in mpv currently.

>>61725624
does NNEDI3 in mpv even use compute shaders? I don't think it does, currently

>>61725624
NGU low is like jinc or even faster.

>>61725653
I think its not. I got super boost when it became 4 passes.

I need to update my mpv to use RAVU smoothtest2 after the user texture API change, correct?

>>61725909
You need it for the newer versions of RAVU yes

>>61726026
Thanks. Do you think igv has to update any of his shaders now?

>>61726061
No; igv doesn't use any shaders that use compute shaders or user textures (the two things that got changed)

>>61726074
Neat, thanks again. Damn, i want to try RAVU smoothtest2 so bad but have to wait for shinchiro for day or two to update ;___;

>>61721253
That looks fucking horrible, everything is oversharpened to hell.

>>61725563
depends a lot on the content. when ngu (sharp) was released, most people started testing it with low quality content and found it to look really bad. and that's still true today: ngu sharp looks bad with low quality sources.

the trick is to use the right tool for the right job. for low quality sources you want to use something like nnedi3 or ngu anti-alias. these algos are somewhat soft, but handle all the kinds of artifacts that occur in low quality sources well.

on the other hand, ngu sharp - and probably also fsrcnn, try to squeeze out every ounce of detail that might be hidden in the source. that works well when using high quality sources (e.g. upscaling a 1080p blu-ray to 4k), but not with low quality sources. so i expect that fsrcnn will behave similar to ngu sharp in that it works only well if you use it with high quality sources. but if you do use ngu sharp on high quality sources, it produces very good results.

>>61726136
not sure if poe's law or if doom9 posters actually believe this wall of text

It's like reading audiophiles discuss what cables to use for what genre of music

>>61726095
you don't have to. just replace "//!FORMAT rgba32f" in the last few lines of shader with "//!FORMAT 32f" and "//!COMPONENTS 4" (two lines), and it will work with old mpv, i guess

>>61726197
Wew, ill give it a try! Thanks for the idea.

it's not a question of believing, but a question of actually testing with different kinds of contents. which you obviously haven't done (properly).

If you're trying to play an entire anime series at a time, just open the entire folder in mpv

either autoload script or add multpile files for playback at once.

No way to do that on wangblows without using the command line.

>>61726954
You can just select all of the files and drag them onto mpv.

>>61726828
Probably a codepage issue. I don't think mpv converts metadata encoding, so it's probably interpreting the title as UTF-8.

also what's wrong with the command line? you have a keyboard, right? or did you type that comment with an onscreen kb?

IMO after short testing RAVU smoothtest2 is not worth it compared to smoothtest1. With smoothtest1 RAVU removes some MAJOR ringing artifacts, but with smoothest2 the difference is much more subtle in majority of the places while it makes image blurrier and lines thinner/brighter.

>>61726899
>>61726939

Compared to smoothtest1 of course.

>>61727027
1. Select each file you want to play, excluding the ones you don't unless you want to press next a thousand times to skip the episodes you've already watched
2. Open mpv
3. Drag the files onto mpv

>>61727033
open with mpv is not an option, genius
1. open command line
2. remember the path to the folder and its exact name and type it out
3. press next until you get to the episode you want to watch

As opposed to simply double clicking a file with autoload.lua

>>61727363
Apparently they weren't. It really confused me because I had input.conf and mpv.conf together in mpv.exe/portable_config/ like the documentation says, but it was only reading the input.conf. I downloaded shinchiro's build and ran that hq profile bat and moved them to mpv.exe/mpv/ and now it works.
I had something else messed up or it's not reading the .conf files the way the documentation says.

I'm coming from MPC + MadVr and the quality is basically identical with the my current setup, but mpv performs 10x better

best to try it out for yourself

>>61730626
Pretty much my experience. The player itself is much better than bloated mpc-hc. With maximized config with shaders my card is barely sweating compared to 100% load and shitload of noise as result with madvr. Visuals are either the same or better. Reclock like feature (display resample) is also very nice.

>>61730676
Definitely, it's quite amazing really; my GPU would cry when I maxed out NGU with madvr, yet with only 2 filters mpv looks identical and my GPU has almost zero load

>>61730721
why would you max out ngu when you're concerned with gpu load? makes no sense to me. maxed out ngu is only there for people who don't care about gpu power and want to squeeze the last 0.1% image quality out of the source.

if you want to compare mpv to madvr, you should use comparable settings. if you can't see a difference between maxed out ngu and your current mpv settings with your current content, then most probably you also wouldn't see a difference between maxed out ngu and much lower madvr settings with the same content.

>>61731015
Not him but mpv's shaders *are* more efficient than madVR's equivalents for stuff like NNEDI3, Jinc etc.

Many years of optimization and tricks have gone into mpv

>>61731015
It was just an example, normally I wouldn't max out my GPU but the point is that the quality is comparable, if not identical to my eyes

and lets not forget how easy it is to configure mpv to give a completely different look to an image with shaders (none vs FineSharp for example)

If I wanted to get really picky I'd complain about how goddamn slow madvr makes MPC-HC, if the video is playing and I attempt to put it in fullscreen it can take up to 20s for the player to recover.

>>61731101

might be true. but we're talking about maybe 20% or 30% faster, or something like that. nothing that makes the gpu go crazy when using madvr and almost idle when using mpv.

>>61731101
in madvr finesharp is available through the "crispen edges" checkbox. it's just as easy, if not easier, to click a checkbox in madvr, compared to editing a text file with mpv.

i've been using madvr for a long time and i've never seen it make mpc-hc slower, unless maybe you had been using extremely crazy settings which the gpu totally couldn't handle. mpc-hc with madvr is just as fast as mpc-hc with evr/vmr for me, on all my pcs, and has always been.

>>61725217
>https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/4712
MadVR still produces higher visual quality content than mpv. Pro-FOSS bias is the only reason for mpv shilling.

Protip: madVR is unusable upscaling to 4K unless you had a 4-way Titan Xp setup because the scalers are implemented so poorly.

Do you think madshi will release 1.0 "PRO" version with its own video player?

>>61733118
No madshi isn't a competent developer

>>61733068

>>61733173
I had to switch because video was unplayable (dropped frames out the wazoo) with the lowest quality scaling algos in madvr whereas ewa_lanczossharp in mpv would drop 2-3 frames for a full episode of video, this was with a 2500k + R9 390.

Now with an 1800X + 1080 Ti I can do whatever the fuck I want but madVR is still garbage, I would only ever use MPC-HC on its own if I had to.

If a video was originally made in 720p format, would it be better to download/buy that format and upscale it yourself using mpv or would it be better to download/buy the studios upscaled version?

Is there a generally accepted practice with situations like this? I'm assuming it just depends on the studio that's doing the upscaling.

>>61734982
Upscale it yourself

>>61735014
Alright thanks anon

>>61734982
Well, most of the times the studios have access to higher resolution sources. It would also depend on the chroma resolution, which I'd assume is also higher in their source.
But if it's a really abnormal situation, and they don't have a higher resolution, then I think you'd better do it yourself. At least then you can choose yourself what you like, and you can adapt to new upscalers and the like.
