>>61769108
It doesn't work on my computer with angle-flip=no. :(

>>61769147
>angle-flip=no
You think its the cause? Have you tried different opengl-backend?

>>61769205
It can't handle profile=opengl-hq with the win backend and dxinterop crashes it. :(

>>61769205
Ravu is working with angle for some people, so it's probably because mpv doesn't run without angle-flip=no on my machine.

That looks like aliasing to me. I'd suggest getting a better source but it doesn't look like there's much out there and I'm not sure if the aliasing is present in the original DVD itself or what (I don't know much about video but I think it's possible they were always there but the problem resolved itself on crappy CRTs of the era).

https://nyaa.si/view/328346
>While these raws have some obvious flaws (interlacing, aliasing, framerate/panning problems, possible overbrightness), they’re the best source out there.

The usual way to deal with aliasing is by using some amount of blurring. Though there are probably better ways of fixing it on mpv that I'm not aware of (maybe there's some shader or some scaler trick).

Thanks for the advice. I will see if I can find a blurring filter or otherwise deal with it.

So does mpv work in a special way with freesync/g-sync? Like with interpolation or display sync or something?

What do I put in my config to make it smart enough to not try and interpolate video that's already 60 fps? This is what I have now:

profile=opengl-hq
scale=ewa_lanczossharp
tscale=oversample
video-sync=display-resample

>>61772476
interpolation is disabled automatically if the video fps matches your monitor

>>61772579
Can't be, when I watch a 60 fps video it stutters unless I manually comment out the interpolation line in my config.

>>61772625

So, is ravu good enough for use or is the ringing pretty bad?

>>61774328
ravu rings slightly less than ewa_lanczossharp. and ravu smoothtest1 and smoothtest2 almost removed all major ringings for me

What subtitles font are you guys using right now?
Been using

"Arial" "Source Sans Pro Semibold" "Metric Medium"

Wtf, after complaining for weeks/months for getting red frame n delays with a 1070, after uninstalling f.lux im getting 0 delays and my fps got better.

anyway, wanted to try angle but my subs look shit (pic related) any fix? I'm on dxinterop.

>>61767286
>>61767304
1st one seems to have some distorted lines. Apart from that they look equal to me. So 2.

Also at least align/pick the frames correctly you mongoloid

>>61771753
Looks like interlacing artifacts. Download a better source, I guess

>>61772155
For free/g-sync, in theory you want to keep display-sync *off* (i.e. set video-sync=audio), and it should just work out assuming the drivers are doing the correct thing.

>>61772566
Try disabling vd-lavc-dr. Also try figuring out which of the passes is causing the slowdown. Try also disabling GPU frequency scaling. Also try generating a stats dump.

>hwdec=auto + interpolation and deband enabled

Do the deband and interpolation actually work in conjunction with hwdecoding? I was under the impression that these features only functioned if swdecoding.

>>61776234
Depends on the hardware decoder

>>61776234
Also interpolation always works regardless of hwdec, and debanding always runs - the output can just be low quality when using hwdecs that do RGB conversion

>>61776239
>Using hardware decoding (vaapi).

Is this one compatible with deband?

>>61776271
If the log says it's using vaapi-egl. If it's vaapi-glx, then it will introduce severe quality reduction.

>>61775927
Get rid of --opengl-pbo if you're using it.

>>61769147
>>61769205
>>61769263
It's not because of --angle-flip=no. --angle-flip only changes how the video image is presented to the window, it doesn't affect rendering. I'd bet it's not working for you because you have an older graphics card without FL 10_1/OpenGL ES 3.0 support, but the only way to know for sure is with a log.

>>61769504
mpvhq was haasn's old fork of mpv. It used to have some unique features, but they've all been merged into mpv now and haasn commits directly to mpv.

>>61772566
>What would cause this many mistimed and delayed frames?
opengl-backend=win. WGL does not synchronize correctly with the compositor on Windows. You have to use opengl-backend=dxinterop or opengl-backend=angle with display-sync or you'll get unavoidable dropped frames. If you want to use DR, but dxinterop doesn't work for you, you're fresh out of luck.

If you want to stick with opengl-backend=win anyway, try opengl-dwmflush=auto.

>>61775927
Try using another f.lux alternative there is two.
also that's one ugly fucking font.

opengl-pbo=yes

remove this, It happened to me when I enabled it recently.

>>61772625

Use second page of stats.lua to check if its running or not.
Also try

.

>>61776861

By the way, that was a still picture that lasted like 10 seconds on the video.

Any tips on scaling to 1440p?

>>61777289
Same as any other scaling really. Only difference is that 720p to WQHD is straight up doubling, which I guess could result in some better outputs.

>>61777660
You should read the warning about --hwdec in the manual by the way, and see if you actually care.

>>61777668
mpv's defaults are set to the least intensive settings, while still producing correct results in all situations I think. hwdec can be unsafe.
Try

opengl-pbo

as well, this can increase performance depending on drivers. Could also decrease it.

>>61777701
Isn't offloading work to the GPU actually less intensive overall?

>>61777713
I didn't say hwdec is more intensive, I said it can be unsafe. On more modern systems it's a negligible performance difference as well.
But yeah, hardware decoding is generally faster if it's actually used.

>>61777736
That's why it's always best to test it for yourself, as I mentioned earlier hwdec improved my timings

what's the least performance intensive interpolation settings?

Depending on your definition of "top-tier encodes", yes. They're not always the same resolution as your monitor.

>>61779795
Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the result be, in theory, a sharper image? Regardless of why it was used?

>>61779818
No, sharpeners and super-resolutions are for sharper and/or more detailed results, and these prescalers like nnedi3 and ravu are for smoothness of edges.

I see, thankyou

>>61779414

>I'm beginning to wonder if shaders are even worth using if I'm only downloading top-tier encodes
Yes, of course. To lesser degree if youre watching movies with same resolution as your monitor. For example SSSR works very good with movies. If you cant see the difference then i guess your eyesight is very poor or SSSR is disabled for you.

1 is NGU AA Very High -> Jinc AR. All of madVR settings maxed. Makes your GPU work to its limit, spins fans like crazy.

2 is RAVU r3 smoothtest1 -> haasnsoft. Barely loads the GPU, fans don't even spin.

100% voters chose RAVU. Thank you based bjin!

>>61780654
Thats because you get direct 2X upscale by RAVU in that scenario. Try playing lower or higher res video.

>>61780740
Ah I see, I didn't have any lower-res content on my Computer but playing a higher-res video worked just fine.

>>61777713
Not for decoding. Coding is pretty linear, and the CPU is very good at it.

Which should I use to stop tearing on linux? Compton or the pipeline shit in nvidia settings? Both give me no tearing but on archwiki it says force pipeline can give reduced performance and I have no idea if compton is worse or not.

Is there a filter that removes grain?
I downloaded SG-1 DVD remuxes and they are grainy as hell. The one filter I found (cycle-denoise.lua) practically does nothing.

>>61781051
No. You can try to upscale with nnedi3, it will make image softer.

>>61780959
The point is that GPUs have dedicated chips for it, I think. Meaning it's just put shit in get shit out, without wasting additional resources.
My limited understanding at least.

>>61776181
But then interpolation doesn't work.

>>61781083

Thanks. Upscaling with NNEDI3 or RAVU + denoise filters seems to lessen the noising. Sadly, the best denoise filter (without an oil painting effect) seems to be NLMeans and that does absolutely not work in real-time.

So can we agree that madVR is finally completely BTFO?

Also I find it sad and funny that madshi can't compensate for the pixel shift introduced by NGU.

>>61781221
Correct, but isn't that the intended result?

I'll be honest, these days everytime I see a commit by haasn I crap myself in my pants because I just know it will break something random and he will not give a shit because

>>61776181
Freesync at least can't go down to 24Hz. I think Gsync only manages like 30Hz as well.

>>61780979
How do you even get tearing to begin with? I have no tearing and I'm not using any of these settings and don't have a compositor running

>>61781673
Wat, doesn't that completely defeat the point of this shit?!

>>61781669
t. Argon

>>61781709
No. It's to provide smooth display of variable framerates under 60Hz. Not to display every framerate imaginable. My monitor only goes to 48Hz, Somewhere around 30 if I install different firmware.
It's an alternative to v-sync which locks you to 60 or 30, allowing you to play around 60.

In madVR freesync/g-sync dont do shit. I expect the same in mpv.

>>61781669
I'm not paid to care about broken platforms (OS X)

>>61781650
Interpolation blends frames for smoother motion though. G/Freesync don't do that say if you're playing 24FPS on a 60Hz monitor. Only works properly if refresh rate is multiples of 24 or whatever the video frame rate is.

>>61781749
So it would still shit the bed if a 30 fps game drops to 29 fps? That's dumb. Should go down to like 10 fps. What does it hurt them to support it?

>>61781802
The hardware doesn't support that mate. The resolution of my monitor should also go up to a million K, but you can't just will that into existence.

>>61781752
just disable vsync in mpv and it works.
source: have a g-sync monitor and tried it.

>>61781776
nigga you broke shit for mesa and on a separate occasion lanczos for AMD just in the last week. That you also broke OS X is just a coincidence.

>>61781828
>updating a pixel more slowly is difficult
bull fucking shit m8. You can't come up with a single legitimate reason for why an LCD shouldn't be able to update at 10 fps. These are fucking stop-and-hold displays. Heck, how the fuck do you think TVs update at 24 Hz? Oh right, by just.. updating at 24 Hz.

Yes of course it can't go up to 100000 Hz and above, but I'm not asking it to be faster, I'm asking it to be SLOWER. This is COMPLETELY possible and the *only* limitation is developer laziness / incompetence.

>>61781862
>nigga you broke shit for mesa and on a separate occasion lanczos for AMD just in the last week.
protip: AMD = mesa

>>61781673
G-Sync can go lower by simply doing frame doubling and running at twice the desired clock, which has the same effect.

>>61781872
You clearly don't know how hardware works. Most of today's CPUs, for example, cannot run at an arbitrarily low clockrate. The last famous CPU that could do that was the Z80.

>>61781862
>lanczos for AMD
Wat.

>>61781895
yes, but he broke mesa for one thing, then broke AMD for another thing. I know AMD uses mesa.

>>61781901
compute

>>61781897
And you know what today's CPUs can do? Oh right, update a value 10 times a second. Yes, of course quartz clocks resonate at many MHz, how does this prevent you from doing something more slowly? Oh right: It doesn't.

>>61781943
I'm sure you know all about the hardware limitations of display technology better than the people in charge of making display technology work.

>>61781912
>yes, but he broke mesa for one thing, then broke AMD for another thing.
Source? The only issue I was aware of is the EWA compute shader issue where AMD cards produced mostly black output, that one was fixed after somebody sent me an AMD card.

If you have another issue that needs fixing, you should probably, well, open an issue.

>>61781961
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4717 oops, it was wm4 that broke shit :^)

>>61781953
I have a monitor sitting in front of me that syncs to 24 Hz just fine. It can't be impossible when displays exist that support it.

>So can we agree that madVR is finally completely BTFO?
RAVU is only a NGU AA alternative (nnedi3 counts as well, sort of), there is still no NGU Sharp like upscaler for mpv, including now-abandon FSRCNN

>>61781983
wm4 broke like 5 things in the past week with his RA refactor

In theory, would it be possible in the future to write a Metal backend for ra, or is it technically impossible?

>>61782009
yes, but that doesn't mean that all hardware supports it. And as I said in >>61781897, G-Sync can double the clock and simply send a duplicate frame every other clock to achieve half the perceived refresh rate, so it's no biggie.

140KB, 1202x770px

>>61782042
Seems like only FreeSync is incapable of this

>>61782036
the bigger question is whether anyone would want to support yet another graphics backend. Especially considering that as far as I'm aware, you can't feed Metal with GLSL or SPIR-V, so it would need to have completely separate shaders.

Will wintards be affected with this ra refactor?

>>61782074
I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to do that in software, at least for videos which generally have a static framerate.

>>61782079
I think I read in another thread that wm4 would like to write a DX backend with an HLSL converter, wouldn't be feasible to do the same with the Metal shading language?
Honestly, if thecnically possibile, this would be the safest and most future proof choice: OpenGL for slightly old/legacy hardware, Vulkan for the new one, DX for win, Metal for OsX, everything with pretty much the same feature set.

>>61782196
You probably can, by using some lavfi to double/triple every frame.

>>61782204
The answer is: Yes, but who are you going to find to write it? Also, MSL is apparently insane. (Just like everything in apple land)

>>61782204
>wm4 would like to write a DX backend with an HLSL converter
That already exists and is called ANGLE
>wouldn't be feasible to do the same with the Metal shading language?
if someone wants to do the work. Maybe we'll get it for free with ANGLE some day as WebGL moves past ancient GL versions and runs into problems with macOS' old OpenGL.

>>61782246
Khronos is working on a cross-platform API that wraps vulkan, directx and metal. (Yes, this is despite vulkan already being a cross-platform API.)

It's very possible mpv could support that one day

>>61782319
fucking hell

>>61782204
>>61782079
Actually it's seems that there already is some experimental work to do automatic conversion between SPIR-V and MSL: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Cross

>>61782234
I just wanted to make sure it's possible (I'm not actually on mac, just follwing the little fallout happening these days).
And I'm under the impression that the OsX community that orbits around mpv is not so inactive, albeit maybe a little bit frustrated right now, so I wouldn't consider that impossible.

>>61782119
Yes, since it will enable vulkan and directx backends

What do you think about SMPlayer?
Good choice for baka?

>>61781912
>compute
I dont know what youre talking about.

>>61782831
No, SMPlayer sucks. It passes a whole load of broken shit to mpv's options and doesn't use the recommended way of interfacing with mpv. Don't use it.

>>61782831
Dont be a baka, anon.

So I've got a laptop with an i3 -50050 with integrated hd 5000. I can make lanczossharp with opengl-hq, tscale=oversample and interpolation work on native res(1600x900) work. But i connect it to tv for FHD and then it doesn't manage those settings in full screen anymore. Opengl-pbo seems to work but is there anything else I can do to get best quality with still good performance?

>>61783130
not on intel, no.

>>61783130
Try using ewa_lanczos instead of ewa_lanczossharp

you can also try lowering the scale-radius even more if necessary

>>61783394
ewa_lanczos still stutters with opengl-hq unfortunately. What would you recommend for scale?

>>61783130
Set cscale to bilinear or gaussian. Good performance boost and the quality loss is unnoticeable for most videos. You can also try deband=no, but that's a much bigger hit on video quality especially if you're watching shitty encodes.

>>61782035
What is RA? A sort of angle but cross-platform?

>>61783458
try scale=bicubic_fast

>>61784008
Rendering Abstraction/API. It's not really that comparable to ANGLE - more high level than that, and a billion times smaller. We only have like 5-10 functions inside the RA, for the absolute basics.

It mainly exists so I can write vo_vulkan

>>61782319
When? In 2040?

>>61784028
OK! It's a big interface for the future renderer(s).

>>61784033
Ask Khronos

>>61784028
>I
you mean atomnuker? :^)

>>61784073
I don't like atomnuker's code

What's the right AV codec pair to encode in to get hardware acceleration across most modern devices (modern meaning post-2011)?
x264 + opus?
x265 + opus?
x264 + aac?

>>61784976
>x264 + aac
Opus support isn't that common.

>>61784976
Just use VP9+opus

>>61784976
>x264 + aac?
This.

>>61784976
Audio codec doesn't matter.

- x264 hw decoding is only 8 bit, which sucks.
- VP9 hw decoding is somewhat widespread, and VP9 software decoding is *stupidly* fast. (Like even faster than hardware decoding)
- x265 hw decoding exists in most devices that also support VP9 hwdec but x265 sw decoding is slow as shit.

So I say go for VP9 and don't worry about the audio codec

If I'm listening to 5.1 audio through stereo headphones. Is there a command line option to control the volume of the central channel before it's downmixed to stereo?

I've been getting an Error 503 whenever I try streaming crunchyroll, even with username/password flags. Any idea why?

how do i check which version of mpv i am using with the osd or something?

i believe i somehow installed 2 versions and while i was able to update the mpv with brew but i think the mpv that i am using by double clicking on the video file is the old version and not the new ones

i noticed i wasnt using the newer version of mpv because of the osd seeker where it is on the middle of the screen as supposed to the new ones at the bottom of the screen.

Is there a way I can improve the frame rate on a relatively old laptop?

you want af=pan. for 5.1 audio to stereo the matrix works like this:
[FL->L, FL->R, FR->L, FR->R, FC->L, FC->R, LFE->L, LFE->R, BL->L, BL->R, BR->L, BR->R]
the normal downmix matrix is:

Yep, that's a fatal error, which means you're not getting frame timings because it's falling back to vo=direct3d.

Unfortunately, dxinterop doesn't work with switchable graphics. I'm not sure anything can be done to fix this.

ffmpeg manual - look for muxing

What are your recommendations for configuring mpv for the highest video/audio quality?

>>61787919
ffmpeg -i in -c:v copy -c:a dca -b:a 1500k -ac:a 6 out
Not tested, assuming you have 6 audio channels.

>>61797072

profile=opengl-hq
scale=ewa_lanczossharp
video-sync=display-resample

everything else is placebo/subjective.

>>61797411
ewa_lanczossharp is also highly subjective. Anything "better" than opengl-hq is subjective.

>>61797846
Disagree, ewa_lanczos is mathematically better than spline36/lanczos

>>61798385
Mathematically better does not mean that it will look better for everybody. People have different opinions.
If it was, it would be included in opengl-hq.

>>61798419
Well you can say the same about spline36 and bilinear.
