Let it be reminded what anime brought to this thread:
>homosexuals, trannies, pedophiles and other kinds of mentally ill freaks
>excessive porn dumping + deviant fetishes what only a porn addict can develop, creating multiple generals dedicated to gooning
>"circlejerk culture": blogging, grooming, injecting private server members into the thread
>endless necrobumping and spam for control of this board thus obliterating any chance for organic OC to sprout, effectively ending high quality posting as well
>unnecessary racebaits and racewars fueled exclusively by porn addiction
And so much more...

Been using this for anime watching for almost 5 years. Need a change?

qrd on librempeg?

I wanna record something live to a file with ffmpeg/obs with nvenc
and then use mpv to play that same file back at almost live low-latency

are there some obs/ffmpeg settings to make it easy for mpv to just seek to the end of the file and play from there?
the file with default settings does not have a duration during recording
and there is a bunch of buffering so it ends up like 30s delay

there no networking on the recording end just a writable shared folder

>>105574917
can't you run it at the same time?

>>105574952
the file gets written to in buffered chunks so it is at least a bit behind by default
and seeking is kind of flaky
(I can seek in minute-chunks with the up-arrow but if I go too fast/far it gets stuck and does not easily recover to playback - or if it does it takes a while)

maybe if there is a setting to make the output file seekable while it is being written to
it could be a container format thing - I use mkv right now

>>105575009
try mov atom to the beginning?

>>105575060
does not that just cause it to be written at the beginning after the encoding is over?
I am playing the file back while it is being written

is there a way to open multiple mpv windows at once on mac?

>>105576095
>is there a way to open multiple mpv windows at once on mac?
yeah, just use
mpv --new-window /pathviid.mp4

Or make a bash script:
#!/bin/bash
for file in "$@"; do
/usr/local/bin/mpv --new-window "$file" &
done
and then save it somewhere and associate it with mp4/mkv etc.

You can also use Automator to make an actual .app that you can place into /Applications and assign an icon to that will do the same:

Application -> Run Shell Script -> Set "Pass input" to "as arguments".
for f in "$@"
do
open -n -a "mpv" "$f"
done
You might need "--new-window" there. Experiment.

yt-dlp's terrible default for streaming claims another victim!

Thats a well known issue. It hasn't worked properly for well over a year. It's due to YT fucking around and preventing non-official players from playing content.

>>105577208

Also, how do you get past the "Sign in" issue? I can't watch any YT video without being logged in. And doing it through yt-dlp sounds like a pain.

Thanks. I prefer the 4K stream because of my monitor.

I'm pretty sure it got restricted because I was playing YT exclusively through mpv for years.

>>105576293
thanks anon

>>105577661
>Thanks. I prefer the 4K stream because of my monitor.
if your mpv uses ffmpeg master you can change the video format to 2160p60_vp9 which gives 4k vp9 stream without throttling
https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/commit/380a518c439d4e5e3cf17b97e4a06259e8048f99 fixes the vp9 seeking problem but it's not in any ffmpeg release version yet

>>105594786
What's better?

Is it me or youtube is throttling yt-dlp? When I try streaming youtube in mpv some videos buffer so slowly. It only started happening recently. VPN doesn't help so I don't think it's my isp doing it. They play fine in browser too.

>>105595900
It's fine here, i just watched a 12min 4K video, there wasn't any buffering and read ahead cache was plenty

>>105595900
>>105596002
yt-dlp is defaulting to a format that is known to be throttled to 2x of average bitrate when played with mpv which makes it a terrible default for streaming and constant buffering for videos with large bitrate variations
not a problem with my own youtube client which defaults to non throttled format

Is mpv still a good webm maker?

Why should I exactly trust if source isn't available. FUCK your samefagging tranny delusions. YWNBAW.

>>105596601
Your "common sense" simply doesn't work when 99.9% of "open source" code are under no eyes and not inspected upon, which are no different from closed source code. You only come to real sense when supply chain attacks happen deep into the dependency chain no one cares to look into, which are so frequent nowadays with mirco dependencies made by "mysterious strangers" and situations like xz.
The whole free/open source argument is retarded anyway. Game modders modify and distribute closed source programs all day without problem as long as the game developers don't care to take down. It is all about licensing and legality rather than ability, but people like you who lack technical know-how think it the wrong way.

>>105599619
The only things I know for that are

or this script called fixed-geometry on github

I'm using an older mpv because the most recent one I tried doesn't behave the same with window resizing.

>>105599749
Maybe it's because the older version.
In the latest version this behavior can't be replicated like you did.
Also this is what i found in the github
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3872
No script at all.
>auto-window-resize=no
Didn't work

I had ai write a script for me that makes a bookmark of the current video and position I'm at and then I can press another key to load that video and position later on. I didn't need anything fancy. That's all I need whenever I update and need to restart my computer. I just get back to where I was in the anime with ease.

>>105600400
>Shift+Q
okay, that saves the current position when I quit, but when I relaunch mpv it doesn't automatically open the video the again. I don't want to have to keep track of which episode I was on. Which, prior to this, I'd write down the number in Notes. AI is a powerful tool. Instead of searching for a script that suits my needs. I had AI write it exactly how I wanted it to work.
>>105600434
I could've written the script myself, but it would've taken sometime and I would've had to search for API functions. AI is just quicker for simple things like this.

Greetings,

I've had
R vf toggle hflip
in my mpv.conf for years but it stopped working some time earlier this year. I used it to flip videos horizontally because many ASMR girls shoot videos with the front facing camera and upload them mirrored which is annoying.
It registers the keystroke and it even says video filter hflip [] but then nothing actually happens. Any idea why this is?

Thanks,

>I could've written the script myself, but it would've taken sometime and I would've had to search for API functions. AI is just quicker for simple things like this.
Noو it's not.
If you use AI to write script you realize how stupid some of the lines, that can be done with just reading proper book.

the filter now only work with software decoder.
So you switch to software decoding, or use the copy version of the decoder.
>>105600483
Thanks for proving my point that only idiots believe in AI as an answer to everything.

>>105600498
I don't think it's the answer to everything. I always take what AI says with a grain of salt, but it's just as valid of a second opinion as a random google search.

That syntax doesn't work, I had to change it to
R cycle-values vf hflip
And now it works. Thanks. But why do software developers need to break functionality every now and then? Feels like MPV is on Firefox level.

>when I relaunch mpv it doesn't automatically open the video the again. I don't want to have to keep track of which episode I was on.
How do you normally start watching then?

>>105600836
It's slow and it's something that I've begrudgingly put up with until now. I'd open the file browser and navigate to where it is on my media ssd and launch it.

Is there any way to show playlists like VLC does in a docked view?

>>105600900
Where what is, the media? And you "launch" the media? But then it would only play one file, right? What position are you saving then? And you never switch to a different show?

>>105600925
come on now, it should go without saying that we all use autoload.lua. How else are you going to watch an anime series?

>>105600943
I use Taiga, and if I want to load a directory I just point mpv to that directory. But okay, I guess that works if you only ever watch 1 show.

>>105600449
mpv has a feature that lets you show all the videos you quit watching with shift+Q and select which one you wan to resume watching
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/select.rst?plain=1#L105

>>105601016
Not that anon, but just trying that now and it's a bit too destructive with the saved position. Normally I just use the --save-position-on-quit option manually if I watch a longer video over multiple days. It doesn't seem to save that option so quitting it normally after loading via that script doesn't save position. Also changing to a file via that script doesn't save the position of the current file.
This all seems intentional, and features of the --save-position-on-quit option (doesn't save when going to the next in a playlist, watch-later-options only saves options that changed since when mpv started), but for me it'll probably annoy me more than be useful. Most could be fixed by me just using shift+Q instead, but I'm retarded and know I'll forget sometimes, and trying to find the position again just once would be more annoying than being able to find it with that script.

>>fixing mpv's audio requires rewriting the whole player, which is a herculean task that no one except wm4 himself could accomplish
that's overestimation, but indeed even wm4 didn't manage to fix the audio code. Full rewrite would be needed, but there are dozen of different AOs so not easy to do it.

only thing audio needs is dropping buffers and refilling with new speed when speed changes so video frames dont drop

>>105598847
This script, combined with --auto-window-resize=no and --geometry, forces my mpv to behave as it should, by removing the value of the geometry property after a window is created. Windows that are created after startup, e.g., by cycling video tracks, reuse the initial value of geometry.

local initialgeometry = mp.get_property("geometry")

local function fixgeometry()
-- mp.command("show-text 'geometry cleared'")
mp.set_property("geometry","")
return
end

local function function2(_,osd)
if not osd.w or osd.w <= 0 or not osd.h or osd.h <=0 then
return
end
mp.unobserve_property(function2)
fixgeometry()
end

local function function3()
if initialgeometry ~= "" then
mp.set_property("geometry",initialgeometry)
end
mp.observe_property("osd-dimensions","native",function2)
end

mp.observe_property("window-id","native",function3)

>>105604281
Thanks.
This worked.
It respect the window position and window size now.
However, it forces the original window aspect ratio to the new files as well.
If I'm making myself clear.
You need to add this
keepaspect-window=no
Thanks btw.

this is why no one uses mpv

mpv is one of /g/'s greatest psyops. VLC doesn't have any problems seeking with youtube. VLC doesn't require lua scripts to hack around broken functionality. VLC has a proper UI instead of menus created out of subtitles. VLC can cast videos to your TV so you aren't watching on your XGA Chinkpad.

Why would ao make any difference for muting? The muting is done on the player-side, not server-side.

Since nobody really answered. It's been a while since I read the manual or tweaked anything but:
vo=gpu-next
profile=high-quality

gpu vo isn't maintained and gpu-hq is deprecated. gpu-next brings a lot of benefits. tone-mapping, performance, accurate filters, etc.

screenshot-tag-colorspace=no
screenshot-high-bit-depth=no

This will reduce the file size and increase compatibility with image viewers. As far as I remember, this is how to behaved before since one was disabled by default and the other was broken.

audio-normalize-downmix=yes

This is enabled by default and can be removed.

softvol=yes
softvol-max=200

softvol option has been removed and is now the default behavior. softvol-max was replaced with volume-max, so you should update that.

demuxer-seekable-cache=yes

This should not be set unless you know you need it for some reason. The default is auto and it is enabled when `cache` is enabled.

osc=yes

This is the default and I don't really see any purpose in being explicit about it in your config lol.

I'm using mpv to preview long unedited raw audio. Is there a way to display a waveform of the whole audio file so that it lines up with the timeline/progress bar? Seeing the peaks would be very helpful to find important parts of the file. I was thinking of using ffmpeg to generate a temporary waveform file, but that would add time to loading and won't necessarily line up.

>>105592599
>>105618934
>screenshot-tag-colorspace=no
screenshot-high-bit-depth=no

>This will reduce the file size and increase compatibility with image viewers
It will also make some of your screenshots look wrong (bt601 to bt709) and introduce banding (less bit depth). If you want accurate screenshots delete those lines. If you want small and accurate change format to jxl effort=7 distance=1 (visually lossless).

Anybody have a screenshot script that removes spaces/weird characters from the filename?

>>105593033
Should I save it? Looks like a man

>>105619061
you don't know what you're talking about

neither of those options effect jpg screenshots, and for pngs the behavior you're describing isn't even accurate. it will convert the image to srgb (preserving tonemapped color) and dither the image to 8-bit (no banding, but lossy conversion for HDR content).

>>105619144
>neither of those options effect jpg screenshots
you're right
>for pngs the behavior you're describing isn't even accurate
wrong, `s` png screenshots are not accurate in the absence of color tags if the source is bt601

Is there any way to use mpv-webm on Android? Or any similar scripts/apps out there for android?

>>105561800
You probably have an IP ban, it seems to have a rate limit which slowly backs off and it doesn't care if you enable cookies after getting banned, it's way too strict for frequent watching. I switched to just always running youtube through a tor proxy and ignoring cookies. I believe that tor just always runs a socks proxy on localhost:9050, but you may have to set it in the config, I don't recall what I did.
With the tor server running add --ytdl-raw-options=proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 to any mpv invocation.
If you ever get another ban just restart the tor server until you aren't.

Alright nerds I want to use mpv to save clip times to a file using keyboard shortcuts. I've been reading manpages, fucking around with mpv.conf, input.conf, and asking AI all evening and I can't figure it out. What do I do?

>>105626031
I think you have to compile it yourself with them included. I was looking into how to use custom fonts with Mpv for Android (for subtitles) in the past and it was more trouble than it was worth.
I don't really have an issue with compiling Mpv from source on my desktop but fuck downloading the Android SDK and tons of Java crap, etc.

>>105627926
I found out that mpvKt lets you set a folder as the mpv config folder like on desktop where you can place your conf files and scripts.
The issue is controlling the UI, my tablet doesn't have a keyboard. The app lets you define "custom buttons" that can map to script functions apparently but idk how to make that work with mpv-webm.

>>105605785
The people who work on it are vastly inferior in terms of programming ability compared to any of the other major media players, which is why it is the only player which regularly has issues with even basic functionality such as video buffer crashing the player, audio sync issues etc. Just reading about their reasoning for ISO handling is enough to understand these are not high level developers.

For me personally I really like the scripting aspect of it and that configuration is done with .conf files, so that isn't a negative for me. But if you are looking for a product made by professional developers, this is not it.

AFAIK it does that automatically as long as you don't modify the files in the destination directory, just run it again. You can tweak --retries and --sleep if it keeps failing. I've had times where the .part file grows in big chunks every 3-4 tries and eventually the file gets completed but you gotta be careful with timing if it's a big one otherwise they'll hit you with a long cooldown.

/mpv/, can you conceptualize a solution to this problem? I have a `sub-font` specified by name. This font is only in mpv's fonts directory. For languages this font does not support, a font gets sourced from system, BUT because I have specified a font, all other characters except language letters come from the specified font, like quotes, brackets and commas etc. This looks bad. I wish in these cases it'd just use everything from the font it's using the language letters from.
