/mpv/ - the /g/reatest media player

VLC

Can someone tell me why I should use this over vlc or parole?
I've switched to barebones debian with i3 and am now manually selecting all my applications for a comfy experience instead of just using whatever the distro came with like before.

>>62237043
aside from being faster at everything and having excellent options for upscaling, I really like how mpv behaves deterministically
IIRC VLC remembers window position and size, like most GUI programs
this annoys the shit out of me and I like that mpv is amnesiac by default and doesn't remember anything
also, having a settings menu is so shit compared to having a config file and is way harder to maintain

There is ringing all over the place with RAVU

>>62237432

The ringing is pretty low and RAVU is also sharper. Less oily look too (if we zoom into oblivion).

>>62237513

Doesnt matter really as long as they equal in speed.

>>62237321
Why is gaming and video processing natural and non artificial?

Is it normal for /g/ to always have a thread about how great mpv is? It's a good media player, maybe even the best media player. We get it.

>>62238202
I dunno, is it normal for /g/ to have endless vaguely tech-related consumerism generals?

>>62237118
the training thing is a meme. $50 says RAVU trained on any other type of content will look exactly the same

>>62238164
100% load which uses most of the chip at all times causes electromigration which shortens lifespan of chips. Also can cause various card related power delivery problems, Furmark used to brick some overclocked cards. Gaming and video related work naturally fluctuates with high and low loads of work at times, its much easier on chip with modern power saving systems in place

>>62238327
how to train ravu????

>>62238202
I'm really glads anons keep this bumped because I always have questions to ask. I also answer whatever I can when I drop by

Reminder there is no difference between these two.

x cycle-values scale spline36 ewa_lanczossharp

Reminder cscale is not important

X cycle-values cscale nearest ewa_lanczos 

Open a video and click to a random point in the video (so you're using a real world example and not a test card) then keep hitting x until you have no idea which scale you're using then see if you can guess which one you're using. Check with stats screen to see if you are right.

Stop wasting precious CPU cycles on memes! :-)

You have no idea what you're talking about lol. Still waiting for attempt at an explanation from last thread. >>62235996 It should be funny.
Then you clearly did the experiment wrong by doing scale nearest instead of cscale.

mpv.net already has a thread devoted to it? Neat!

Oh my god are you fucking stupid. You didn't even try to get what he was telling you, at least I hope so.

Go and try your cscales on this one: https://0x0.st/srx.mkv
And then please shut the fuck up.

In case you are wondering why cscale matters so much on my and his clip but doesn't on your comparison, well... just read the shit a dozen people told you to. I'm not going to explain basic video technologies to you when the web is full of good explanations.

>>62239436
"it looks shit in this single extremely cherry picked example!"

Just use whatever fucking scale and cscale you like the most. Most of the differences between things that are supposed to be better than spline36 are indeed ridiculously small if the scaling factor isn't high enough so whatever. Spline36 is fast and looks almost the same as the EWA scalers most of the time.

Give static grain.

Been using the autoload lua script to automatically load the other files in the folder, but I wish it would just pause once the video finishes instead of automatically starting the next video in the playlist. Does anyone know of a way to make it pause once playback finishes?

>>62237043
Aside from it being an ultra good media player, mpv meshes well with *nix's philosophy of maximum configurability and "the do one thing and do it well" mindset, it also comes with excellent defaults (read minimal), so typing:
$ mpv such-and-such.webm
will play the file with max volume in a single window (if it has a video stream) with no visible gui elements and exit at the end of the file, here it works as a single shot player. with the following:
$ nohup mpv --loop-playlist=yes --volume=30 --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui ~/tmp/pl.m3u &> /dev/null &
You get your ordinary media player with a play-list on repeat mode.
Now play-lists are plain text files, this is of utmost importance to keep in mind when working with *nix systems, your Debian (love that system by the way, that is why you get this wall of text) offers you all the tools to deal with those, just in case you're a new *nix user here are a few ways you build play-lists:

* All aoa clips in the download folder:
$ ls -d ~/Downloads/* | grep -Ei '.*aoa.*(webm|mp4|mkv)' > ~/tmp/pl.m3u && mpv --volume=30 ~/tmp/pl.m3u

* All files older than Torrero.webm excluding the file itself:
$ ls -dcr ~/Downloads/*.webm | sed '1,/Torrero.webm/d' > ~/tmp/pl.m3u && mpv --volume=30 ~/tmp/pl.m3u

* All mkv files released by fun-team-translations newer than file series-ep20-fun-team-translations.mkv:
$ find ~/Series/ -type f -iname '*fun-team-translations*' -a ~/Series/some-series/series-ep20-fun-team-translations.mkv > ~/tmp/pl.m3u && mpv --volume=30 ~/tmp/pl.m3u

If you see yourself using some option all the time, you can add it to the config file and next time it starts up it uses it by default.

I am a windowsbabby trying to decipher the manual , please educate me

If I understand correctly, mpv --alang=eng file.mkv would be something I enter into the command prompt and it would make mpv open a file.mkv with English audio track, right?

So several questions
1) how would it (not sure if it is mpv or the command prompt/OS in this case) determine what directory the file is in? What if I had a different file.mkv in two different folders?
2) if there were two english audio tracks in the same file, how would it determine which one to play?
3) if I wanted to make mpv prioritize english audio tracks in the config, how would I adapt the option? would it just be

alang=eng

?

>>62244156
1) It would play file.mkv if it's in the directory that your prompt is in. It doesn't search other directories. You can open a prompt in a specific folder by shift + right clicking and clicking "open command window here".
2)Probably whichever track has a lower ID.
3)Yes.

>>62236928
nice "whtie power" symobl you got there fucks... reported!

>>62244156
Why do you even insist on using command line? Just double click or drag and drop youre videos.
>2) if there were two english audio tracks in the same file, how would it determine which one to play?
Press shift+3 to cycle audio tracks.
>3) if I wanted to make mpv prioritize english audio tracks in the config, how would I adapt the option? would it just be

alang=eng

?
>automatically select these audio tracks (decreasing priority)

alang=ja,jp,jpn,en,eng

If you want to learn mpv and config use this as example https://github.com/Argon-/mpv-config/blob/master/mpv.conf

>>62244156
>2) if there were two english audio tracks in the same file, how would it determine which one to play?
It probably can't. You can press the button in the corner with the speech bubble to cycle through the audio tracks. There are also keybindings for cycling.

>3) if I wanted to make mpv prioritize english audio tracks in the config, how would I adapt the option? would it just be alang=eng?
If you want to be sure that the English track is indeed prioritized I'd rather put

alang=English,eng,en

instead. The reason being some english tracks are named "en" and "English" instead of eng. You can add secondary priorities behind it. Here's what I'm personally using, prioritizing Japanese first, then Korean and lastly English:

alang=Japanese,jpn,jp,Korean,kor,ko,English,eng,en

>>62244330
>>62244457
>>62244472
thank you, all

just curious, does the priority matter between for example

Japanese,jpn,jp

? I may be wrong but what determines the ID is the file type, right? So for example mkvs will only look at the three character codes when choosing priority, yeah?

>>62244496
>does the priority matter between for example Japanese,jpn,jp?
It will prioritize the audio track named "Japanese" first, then "jpn" and then "jp". So yes.

>>62244330
>Probably whichever track has a lower ID.
the container (or mkv, at least) can specify a default track. this is usually the first track but it can be any or no track.

>>62244566
is there a way to override the default track? I changed my config to this and I opened a video to test and it still opened with the [eng] audio track selected and I'm not sure why

>>62244597
Because of the [test profile] part.

You'd need to start it with mpv --profile="test profile" in this case.

Remove [test profile] and try again.

One of the most useful Linux wikis on the internet? Come on. Feel free to hate on Arch itself, but the wiki is insanely useful for all distros.

Anyone notice lot more crashing these past few weeks?

Happens more often when I try to stream videos, but the video link works when I try the second time. Also happens on offline videos sometimes, but second tries fixes it.

>>62247645
I gave it a test; with compute shaders, a 41x41 luma-only convolution at 1080p takes about 27ms on my GTX 970; using a compute shader to speedup the sampling. And this is only accounting for the actual *output* step, let alone the neural network estimation. Oh, and it needs to be done for two images, so multiply that times two. This was also done using a trivial kernel, so no weight loading was performed.

In theory you could get it down to 20x20 by abusing bilinear sampling, but that loses you the compute shader sampler sharing property, which is even slower despite the 4x reduced kernel size.

So yeah, as stated, this is pretty much impossible to do in realtime at 60 fps unless you SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the parameters (like igv's vlq fsrcnn). But, assuming you do want to reduce the parameters, training a kernel like that to interpolate two images at the same time is not actually a bad idea. The approach could have some merits - convolutions are still pretty damn fasted compared to pretty much everything else you can do, especially same-size convolutions (which can take care of work group sharing).

"deep" means "big" :^)
"big" means "slow"

>>62247740
Oh but keep in mind that the more you reduce the parameters, the less well it will handle fast motion - since a smaller input field size results in a smaller amount of motion that it can detect. Also, the input field size is 79x79 - and good fucking luck running a convolutional layer with that input size in realtime over a 1080p image.

That being said, what we could do in theory is first significantly downsample the image to produce a low-res luma-only version, then perform motion estimation on that to compute the kernel - and use the resulting kernel to convolve the output. This has the additional benefit of being able to detect significantly farther motion. So if you reduce the parameters and use a smaller input for the CNN, that approach could have some merits.

Also, for 720p, it's only 12ms - and for 540p, it's only 6.8ms; for a 41x41 convolution. Maybe with something more like 32x32 and a smaller input data size you could get this going in realtime. It would require a lot of work though. Doing the convolution part is not so difficult but reimplementing the CNN and training the weights for it will be a challenge.

Oh, and to improve the spatial reach we could, instead of using 1x1 as your pixel stride, use a fractional stride and bilinear sampling to simulate doing a lower-res convolution with a higher res source image? Maybe that will be slightly better, who knows

>>62247981
>I can't see any difference
use stats.lua page 2 to confirm ravu is working
>I tried w/ low resolution video
keep in mind that ravu can only double a video's resolution, which is then downscaled

if the image/video needs to be upscaled more than twice, you need to apply ravu the appropriate amount of times

also read the ravu page for details on what chroma, no suffix, yuv, and rgb do and make sure you're using the right one

>>62247554
This. Either use gentoo if you hardcore or use Debian/Ubuntu if youre casual.

Why 60 FPS? You mean the display-resample OpenGL limitation?

>>62248038
How do i bypass RAVU's 1.6 scaling factor thingy? I want to quadruple DVD rips but it wont let me!

>>62247991
I dunno, depends on why it's slow for me? vulkan for me is just as fast as opengl (nvidia+linux); in fact opengl is slightly faster - but maybe platforms where opengl is slower will have better benefits?

>>62248096
You want to interpolate to 60 fps don't you???

on default settings, I'd say it's a little better than MPC-HC on default. HQ profile is great, however I don't know how it compares to madVR. I personally prefer mpv because it has no GUI and all of the settings are inside config files. Also MPC-HC is dead, which is why some people switched to mpv

I've been updating the Arch wiki page on mpv (still has a long way to go).
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mpv
What is the current state of Vulkan and how do I test it? Do I need to compile mpv from a different github branch? Also, I've been testing Direct Rendering on my mpv for the last week(s) and it seems to work great for me. Anything I should know about before adding it to the wiki (Linux specific, please)?

If you guys post some interesting/useful examples of auto-profiles.lua then I'll add them to the wiki!

I'm a Linux user who just uses a computer for their every day needs. Not a Windows/OS X user who is out to prove how nerdy they are.

I don't use Gentoo out of convenience from Arch's binaries and package manager (alternatively, if I wanted to I could recompile Arch using the ABS anyways but it's not my bag). The only other distro out there that has caught my eye lately is Nix, and though I use the Nix package manager alongside pacman in Arch, I'm not really sure the distro as a whole is ready for every day use. Other distros that try to make Linux work similarly to Windows or OS X are harder to use imo.

Actually bjin's commit was correct (the denominators are all 2911 and 41 and the signs are correct.) I guess it was broken after that.

.bat files (and .cmd files) are treated specially by the shell to behave as .exes. It would be nice to be able to use PowerShell scripts, but they don't get this kind of special treatment, and you can't even run them by double-clicking on them by default.

>>62258604
It's listed as a Vapoursynth script in mpv's Userscripts page.
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts
>Use flash3kyuu to deband the video, with reasonable (mildly grainy) default settings. Obsolete: mpv now ships with a similar debanding filter as shader.
From looking at the mpv wiki revision history it looks like haasn added flash3kyuu back in mid 2015 and then in September of the same year someone else added the message saying it was obsolete. I think that maybe mpv didn't use to have its own debanding filter back when flash3kyuuu was recommended but after one was implemented it was marked obsolete. It's not clear to me whether or not flash3kyuu is better than mpv's built in debanding filter or not.

Personally though from what I've read it seems like debanding is mostly useful on anime. Particularly poor encodes and simulcasts. Some high quality sources are claimed to have banding as well but being unfamiliar with them I'm not sure if said banding is actually there or just an artifact of 10bit color on an 8bit display.

mpv can listen for JSON-formatted commands on a unix socket (or Windows named pipe.)

https://mpv.io/manual/master/#json-ipc

It's not really safe to expose over TCP though, because it doesn't do authentication or input validation, and it can run dangerous commands (eg. there is a command to run arbitrary programs on the host.) As long as you only need to control mpv from the same PC, it's fine. If not, you'll have to write a program to wrap it in JSON RPC or something similar.

>>62260082
I think Microsoft think they are being wise by applying extra security to PowerShell scripts, but it's pointless when the same security measures don't apply to .bat, .cmd, WSH and even normal .exes. You can even write a .bat that just launches a PowerShell script (but then you have to distribute two files instead of one.)

Awesome, this is perfect. This is all local so I don't need to worry about auth.

>>62263057
Rightmost one is the peak timing, it doesn't matter much. If middle (average) one is below 16000 (for 60 fps) and you don't drop frames you are good. A few mistimed/delayed frames are compensated by video-sync

Why is the mpc-qt settings so bad and not well placed?

>>62263948
Looks pretty ugly.

>>62263978
Why not using your system volume slider?

Can you compile mpv from liveusb?

>>62264005
Yes! It's normal because the author wants the mpc-hc GUI and nothing else. :(

>>62264008
I like to keep my system volume set and change the volume within the player. That way, I don't accidentally shit my pants when I open an especially loud file

>>62263978
Why you need it?

>>62264005
Qt5 is fucking ugly!

>>62264029
Use your keyboard but if you use a tablet, no hope. :(

>>62264051
:(
Guess I better learn how to compile then. Is there anything like mpc-qt without the playlist on the side? And does all that onscreen stuff go away in fullscreen?

There are multiple commits daily almost all the time. The player is getting constant feedback from this general and there are several things in the code that originated in this general and through discussion with haasn who posts here from time to time.

Unlike most other generals, this one actually contributes to a FOSS program.

Also there is only minimal shit posting

My question is in a similar vein: Using the cache size that I passed in the config, can I adapt autoload.lua to cache as many files into mpv as would fit?

I often have some older series (small files) running in the background or on the second monitor while doing other shit. Some of my series are on a shitty external HDD that basically goes into standby after ten minutes and has to start up at the beginning of every new episode.

>>62239975

That doesn't help him though. I use short cuts to files too for organizational purposes and they work flawlessly (windows). It is not a problem with mpv.

>>62239828
Try compiling the latest mpv and give it another go

mpv's internal debanding algorithm is an improved version of flash3kyuu

Why not move them to an active drive to run?
I have several archive drives than stay off most of the time. But at least one has to stay running for P2P purposes. I use that one for active data that doesn't need SSD speeds.

>>62260044
>I'm not sure if said banding is actually there or just an artifact of 10bit color on an 8bit display.
Lowering the bit depth never introduces banding unless you turn off dithering. mpv defaults to shaped dither and falls back to ordered dither when unavailable, so it should basically never introduce banding due to high-bit-depth source.

>>62264177

Because I don't have space on my internals right now. I am talking >5TB of tv shows here.

I know that mpv can do it because it loads like the first three seconds of the next file from somewhere before realizing the hard drive is not sending more of the file

in terms of frame times? yes

>>62264194
But you're not watching all those at once.
Copying them over in batches to watch at once takes less uptime for the archive drive, which hypothetically takes less of a hit on its lifespan and less power consumption overall.

Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in the solution as well, just to create another use case. But it does seem pretty inefficient and senseless overall.

>>62264238

Yeah I have done that in the past but it becomes tedious to always have to copy files.

I had hoped there might be an easy fix just fucking with the autoload.lua file, as mpv already has the cache feature. Maybe I'll contact the dev on github personally

>>62239828
It doesn't work if you created shortcut from the "send to". If you create the symlink, it will work

>>62264223
wait for madvr next gen aka madvr 1.x

>>62264388
Will you buy it?

vo=opengl is just the video output driver, it is also the best video output driver (hence why it is the default and all others are only offered for compatibility purposes).

profile=opengl-hq is a profile (a group of options). Those options are higher quality alternatives to the defaults (they do not change the video output driver).

tl;dr: They're completely different things.

>>62264187
I meant that I'd spent some time searching for reports of occurrences of banding and had noticed some people saying that banding was occurring in some recent Japanese blu-rays/dvds of some recent series. The comments weren't related to mpv and rather seemed to accuse the companies in charge of the official releases. Though I could not rule out the possibility that the people making the comments were watching high-bit-depth source (via blu-ray players) on low-bit-depth televisions (as this is known to cause banding).

>>62264173
Thanks for the info! By chance do you have sauce on that so I can get the flash3kyuu stuff removed from the Arch wiki?

>>62264388
Why would I wait for madVR when mpv does everything I want it to and runs on platforms I care about (linux)?

>>62264811
>By chance do you have sauce on that
You mean other than the source code?

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/97363e176d18 is the commit that introduced it, which was a copy-paste of this GLSL shader: https://github.com/haasn/gentoo-conf/blob/xor/home/nand/.mpv/shaders/deband.glsl The comment at the top of that file already mentions flash3kyuu, but this is an “improved” shader from the original version, which can still be viewed here: https://github.com/haasn/gentoo-conf/blob/xor/home/nand/.mpv/shaders/deband-sin.glsl

That one is almost an exact copy of the flash3kyuu algorithm, which is reflected in the fact that it uses the exact same settings and value range. The major difference to fk3db is that this shader computes the sampling offsets dynamically, taking advantage of both the GPU's SIMD parallelism and the GPU's built-in linear filtering capabilities. (fk3db pre-computes a random offset array and uses point sampling)

Thank you for taking the time to look that up and explain it!
