why ffmpeg is a piece of shit? Im trying to hard burn subtitles and it automatically embeds the subs as soft. what am i doing wrong here?

ffmpeg -ss 00:02:10 -i input.mkv -t 12 -vf subtitles=subtitles.srt:force_style=outline=0.5 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 0 -lag-in-frames 25 -auto-alt-ref 1 -crf 35 -an out.webm

Can we agree that trannies don't belong here

i never had to xkill mpv before version 0.40

There's castero for podcast which is great.

whats the config that exclusively uses the gpu for playback in windows?? like, absolutely no filter or shading or effects at all, just purely using the decoder block in the gpu

Thinly veiled mpv general made by about four trannies. The general is dead so they use bots to spam the same retarded posts to keep the thread from dying, and they put in yt-dlp and FFmpeg in the OP so clueless anons will bump the thread.

Also, stop pressing enter once for no reason. No one likes retarded newfags.

>>105814939
-ss doesn't seek the subtitle.
input.mkv might have an embedded soft subtitle.
try creating a subtitle file separately using -ss, and pass -sn to pass soft subtitles.

Cunningham's Law reliably working again.

does anyone have an encoding script that has interactive video cropping? the one in the /g/ wiki is outdated af. mpv webm script is also broken.

>>105815202
h264 MP4s are allowed here now
Quality is almost as good as VP9 but it's extremely fast plus practically any machine can hardware encode it (though I'd still suggest software encoding as the quality is better and it's still way faster than VP9)
h264 support here basically made VP8 100% useless now. Avoid VP8 at all costs and use h264 for fast encoding

>>105819106
Got any decent h264 encoding that maximize quality and target file size?
>Quality is almost as good as VP9
Highly doubt it.

>>105819289
>Highly doubt it
It's infinitely better than vp8 at least

Quick tip for playing compressed/split scene releases with mpv
piping 7z to stdout is much quicker than the builtin mpv decompression/playback.
"7z x -so example.rar | mpv -"

>>105819408
>15 sec@720p

>>105819560
How so?
It uses the same library.
Unless you mean rar, then rar is shit on linux.

>>105819716
yes warez scene releases are all split rar without compression and it takes 2min to open with mpv vs 5sec with with 7z pipe, mpv seem to want to decompress everything before starting.

>>105819756
try /ptg/, warez is shit

>>105819708
Is this dogshit quality supposed to prove any point?

>>105819708
Yes, and it also has tons of dark gradients which usually look like ass at low bitrates, even in vp9

KILL YOURSELF, AGAIN

i'm retarded. can somebody explain?

so, mpv doesn't rely on ffmpeg and it's components like libavcodec, right? it's mostly "in-house"?

>>105820294
it's the exact opposite, it relies on it for pretty much everything (except for mkv in which case it implements its own demuxer) and so it inherits all the bugs. And ffmpeg takes forever to fix things which is why VLC is superior. mpvfags will never admit it.

>>105819835
>SRV3 format
>A format even less documented then ass, used only by the proprietary globohomo bigcorp
Yup, perfect to add into mpv.

>>105820421
>And ffmpeg takes forever to fix things which is why VLC is superior
wut. VLC development is even slower than ffmpeg

>>105819949
VP9 looks worse at extremely low bitrates when there's too much movement

Are there any ffmpeg wiki/tutorials with some basic commands? Does the python version of it also have basic command line options or is it only for python scripting?

Are there any pre-built scripts for cloning an entire channel with a customizable delay like waiting minutes before the next dl to prevent a rate limit ban? Is there anyway to scrape the urls first from a channel and the thumbnails? That way I only do like 50 per day or can run it on multiple machines wit diff ips?

>>105823588
yes read the manual
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file#usage-and-options

>>105814878 (OP)
hi frens! i am back with my yt-dlp front end written in qt6.

i saw:
>>105820580
>>105820714
>>105820690
>>105820669
so i incorporated the download section feature into my program. in the general tab, there is a new "Download Sections" drop down menu. it offers a few quick options like "Download intro" and "Download the first 5 minutes" but also "Custom time range" to allow you to set the range yourself. There is even an option to input your own chapter regex pattern as well.

Other improvements is making the playlist tab list every video in the playlist as a check box option. So you can either download every single video in the playlist, or pick and choose what videos from the playlist you want to download.

Subtitles also let you download the subtitles to their own file from the video, or embed them into the video. You can also download all subtitles for the video, or pick and choose which languages you want from the list with a check mark.

Here is its download link:
https://files.catbox.moe/274pqz.zip

I will put it up on github, but not until I'm actually done working on it for good.

>>105823980
Oh I forgot to add, also included now is a automated build script to easily build it and a .desktop file.

>>105823588
yt-dlp does have an option to place a delay between downloads. if you want an easy to use way to do it, try my front end >>105823980
in the general tab, i have a wait interval option.

>>105823980
Oh the playlist tab also can show you all the videos in a channel as well. You can easily pick and choose which videos you want, or grab them all.

You can't beat VP9 compression quality.

Bump for best thread.

>>105825480
You can, with AV1, but tranny mods refuse to add support for it.

>>105827887
av1 is pajeet tier codec

>>105827907
It beats VP9 in the context of the 4chan use case aka 4MB videos.

H-how can I tell is I have ffmpeg?
Is it a program (does it need installation) or some command line exe that runs by itself?
I don't know how to explain it in PC terms.

So I recently moved to Linux and I'm having problems with mpv. This seems to happen every other day and seemingly at random (sometimes hours and sometimes less than an hour). Mpv will start using 6-10% of the CPU per open instance and my CPU temp will go up to 70c. It seems to remain until I reboot the computer and then it'll go back to normal using <1% CPU and temp remains at a normal 50c. Running an empty mpv instance still causes the problem and using any other video player works fine.

Any idea how to fix and/or troubleshoot this? I'm on Fedora KDE using mpv from the Fedora repo.

>>105831904
This happens when mpv is just an open window in idle or something else?

>>105831921
Every instance. Empty opened directly with no file, paused video, running video and different videos with different codecs.

>>105831941
weird. only thing I can think of is maybe the wayland clipboard backend somehow mysteriously does stuff. could try with --clipboard-backends=vo or --clipboard-backends-clr and see if it still happens.

>>105831978
It actually went back to normal now, took like 15-20 min. But I'll try it the next time it happens. Thanks for the suggestion.

Not sure if this helps but yesterday if I would lock the screen and log back in then mpv would return to normal for a few minutes before ramping up again. I tried the same thing today but this time locking the screen did nothing and it was still stuck at high cpu usage.

general advice:
* use "freeword" packages from RPM Fusion, or better yet, don't use Fedora at all. Arch is a good close-to-upstream distro. and no, it's not "hard" or magically "unstable".
* don't use wayland.
specific advice:
* run "perf top -p `pidof mpv`" to see what's consuming CPU cycles. that is if you have one mpv process open, otherwise, pass a specific PID to -p
* if you don't see useful info (addresses instead of symbol names in the right column), install some debug packages (or however that's done in Fedora).

Okay, thanks, got it working. I'll run it again once the CPU usage spikes.

>>105834323

slow shader-based output and hardware decoding disabled by default. there's a reason no one uses it for embedded. mpv should just shit out the decoded video frames with no processing by default.

How to replace "/" in youtube title yt-dlp output?
--retricted-filenames removes space and I don't want that.

>>105835200
Nevermind, it was youtube throttling me by refusing to give out the video title
After IP change everything is working again
scumbags

Can't even find where this thing is the logs to being to troubleshoot it. Using this build https://github.com/serenae-fansubs/mpv-webm

>>105836183
(there are no logs)

how hard is it for yt-dlp to get the fucking title? for fuck sake!

>>105836183
You need to start mpv with mpv --log-file=file.log if you want to check it

Watching youtube with mpv I now don't get subtitles anymore

ytdl-raw-options-append=sub-lang="en,eng,enUS,en-US",write-sub=,write-auto-sub=

Used to work, anyone know the correct incantation these days?

Somehow removing -append fixed it

how do you use it?

Is mpv good for you?

how can I improve motion interpolation on MPV the way my OLED TV does, when playing a 4K UHD file? I want soap opera effect on PC, in linux? I have a 6900xt GPU and it's attached to an LG C4 running at 144Hz.

With yt-dlp is there a way to rotate the video?

I want to download a kpop solo cam
But it's a sideways video, made for phoneviewing I suppose so it takes up the whole screen when you fullscreen it on mobile
But of course it doesn't work that way on computers
Sure in MPC-HC I can rotate it after the file is open
But it doesn't remember the setting, I seemingly have to adjust it every time
Is there a way to get yt-dlp to rotate the file 90 degrees clockwise and then download it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIcKKsKPzwk

so MPV can't do motion interpolation?

>>105842737
you can set metadata in the file to tell the video player to rotate it when playing, so you don't have to reencode the video. idk the ffmpeg command for it but easiest way i know is to open it with mkvtoolnix and select the video track and change roll rotation to 90.

Alright I just downloaded MPV cause I wanted to try it. I opened up the same files side by side and thought MPV looked worse, way too pixelated. Then I realized text was much sharper and I realized I was just seeing shit that was smoothed over in VLC. It was the exact same frame as well (I chose a time and went frame by frame)

How the fuck is MPV sharper than VLC playing back the same .webm file? I thought the same file was the same file. I usually deal with audio so FLAC playback is always just FLAC playback, does video not work the same way?

Now I have to learn a whole new video player and set it up cause it’s just strictly better wtf.

parallel ffmpeg -i {} -c:v libjxl -quality 95 {.}.jxl ::: **/*.{jpg,png} && rm **/*.{jpg,png}

>>105844855
>so it begins

>>105844855
mpv performs upscaling in the fourier domain and so doesn't suffer from bit quantization artifacts. It's all thanks to the power of libplacebo.

>>105844840
what thing?

HA !

Any mpv devs around? Please fix this issue. If you have subtitles on (embedded .ass) and the video is playing (but no subs are displayed yet) and you change audio tracks like manually clicking to cycle between 1-2-3-off-1, the next subtitle line does not appear when it should -- as if subtitles broke / got toggled off?

> Play video
> Subtitle line appears
> Subtitle line ends
> Video continues
> Change audio tracks
> Change audio track back
> Next Subtitle line should appear
> Doesn't appear... huh?

Toggling subtitles off and on again redisplays the subtitle where it should (demuxer-mkv-subtitle-preroll or rechecking timestamp?) Same if going backwards in time and /not/ touching audio tracks while it's playing.

To the anon that introduced me to mpv....THANK YOU.
I have few questions, I searched the manual but I think I'm not looking in the right places.
My monitor is 60 Hz, and most of the stuff I watch are either 24/30 fps.
Is there a way to increase the frames to 60?
Or is it done by default?

>o and P

Is there a way to control what show when these are pressed?
I want it to show the remaining time and the duration of cache

It's because of people like you they won't up the filesize limits
But since they won't up the filesize limits I think you're doing the right thing

>>105844855
If you go in the advanced settings of VLC you can change SWSCALER from "Bicubic" to "Lanczos", and it will look identical to mpv's video output. Don't bother with mpv, it's a complete shitmess.

>>105849233
Read the manual

>>105849830
I did.
--osd-msg3=<string>

Similar to --osd-msg1, but for OSD level 3. If this is an empty string (default), then the playback time, duration, and some more information is shown.

This is used for the show-progress command (by default mapped to P), and when seeking if enabled with --osd-on-seek or by osd- prefixes in input.conf (see Input Command Prefixes).

--osd-status-msg is a legacy equivalent (but with a minor difference).

Improve you English comprehension, SAR.
The default behavior is not what I want.
This is what I want it to show

you can use this as keybinding (change "s" to whatever)

then type the filename then ENTER.
follow the filename with a space then "window" or "video" if you need that.

changing your IP address usually helps, as you already discovered. otherwise, disable HLS (m3u8) formats as they trigger this error more often than others. this is why audio works, because a non-HLS format is usually picked.
side note: what site is serving HEVC videos?

>>105858467
>changing your IP address usually helps, as you already discovered
apparently, so does forcing ipv4, that also worked for me

>disable HLS (m3u8) formats
how do i do that?

>what site is serving HEVC videos?
don't know of any, just thought i'd add it in since it was easy
my -f lines are kinda weird because they're meant to work around the limitations of my (very) old, old pc, which is currently living its 2nd life as my htpc.

>>105858692
>how do i do that?
not 100% sure since i use my own script which gets its info from yt-dlp's JSON output, but i think adding "[protocol!*=m3u8]" should work.

>>105818314
It used to be possible to watch youtube videos in VLC, but VLC's own youtube.lua script hasn't been updated for a long time. So it doesn't work anymore.

I ended up writing my own script/program just to make youtube watchable in VLC because of this.

>>105834592

>>105858467
not all hls formats have that problem and disabling hls gives you speed throttled formats
>>105858692
ipv4 addresses are commonly shared so there are more cautions needed when banning them

nice waste bro

>>105857111
>%(title)
Yeah they're going to throttle your ass with that command

>>105859924
nta, but why does the output format matter? is there an extra request needed or something?

>>105860071
that’s misinfo, video titles are returned in the same requests that returns video links so no extra requests needed
at lease it’s how it should be implemented but i won’t be surprised if yt-dlp does an extra request for this which only shows how unoptimized it is

>>105859854
>gives you speed throttled formats
i've never seen throttling (with yt-dlp, the old upstream has/had a deliberately unfixed throttling problem iirc).
and one can use multiple connections with http grabs anyway (i.e. download accelerators). you can even mimic hls/dash streaming with http segmented "inorder" downloading using tools like aria2c/saldl/... so you don't even have to wait for the download to finish.

>>105860071
>nta, but why does the output format matter?
It doesn't but after a few hours of downloading playlists they will stop giving you the %(title) and you will get a bunch of
>>105837236
Yes, even with the sleep requests and the rate limit, I'm working on it though I think my script is almost ready.
When it detects scumbaggery from youtube it stops and retries later (at least 30 minutes). Pic related malfunctioned because of the sig shit but otherwise seems good

I don't know why nobody else is talking about this

>>105859854
>Lying on the internet
It hasn't worked forever, why the fuck are you lying?

>>105860237
it has throttling when played with mpv, the speed is limited to 2x of the average video bitrate so there will be buffering problems when the video bitrate changes a lot within a video
if you use yt-dlp to download and open incomplete file with mpv then seeking won’t work
i changed the default format of my youtube client a while ago to avoid both of these problems and the occasional 403 problem

>>105860399
This is true, it takes so long to seek. What formats do you use not to have the seeking issue?

>>105860362
it works with my own youtube client which opens direct links with vlc
the vlc internal extractor in your video is the one that doesn’t work

>>105860399
>if you use yt-dlp to download and open incomplete file with mpv then seeking won’t work
expand

>>105860444
NTA but instead of yt-dlp url try mpv url and ull see

>>105860415
I was talking about VLC's own youtube.lua script, which doesn't work anymore. Your own shitty client isn't what I was talking about.

Can you rope yourself?

>>105860451
that's not related to my SPECIFIC question.

>>105860480
Are you dumb? If you mpv a youtube link it will use yt-dlp to play the thing instead of downloading

>>105860414
there should be no seeking issue if you use mpv to open video links instead of using yt-dlp directly
>>105860444
if you don’t use mpv to open link directly yt-dlp has no way to know you’re seeking so you have to wait for the whole video to be downloaded if you want to seek to near the end
>>105860470
you said i was lying when i was talking about my own client

>>105860512
Yeah because I thought you said it "still works", which it doesn't. Just say you made your own client thingy that works with VLC.

>>105860512
>wait for the whole video to be downloaded if you want to seek to near the end

>>105860512
>>105860554
or i should have said, generally correct. since one can use tools like saldl with -l or -L. but that assumes knowing that you want to seek to the end before hand.

>>105860512
>there should be no seeking issue if you use mpv to open video links instead of using yt-dlp directly
sorry sweaty but there is, seeking takes way too long. Maybe something wrong with my conf but there is an issue

>>105860547
i did say "with my own youtube client" at the start
>>105860554
not really considering it to "work" when it only works inside the downloaded portion
>>105860565
im only interested in posting cute girls
>>105860596
some hls formats are slow to seek, but the ones that have both audio and video in one link have faster seeking which is the default for my youtube client
you can also try a non-hls format to reduce seeking time but you get throttling as a result

>>105860652
>you can also try a non-hls format to reduce seeking time but you get throttling as a result
fucking scumbags

>>105860652
>im only interested in posting cute girls
No, you're not.

>>105860670
just grab using an external downloader and you don't have to worry about anything, unless your connection is <10mbits/s or metered.
most videos will finish within seconds, and you can save to /tmp (or whatever) if you don't want to hit disk storage.
passing youtube links directly to mpv was always stupid. needing 3rd party tools to improve the experience is doubly stupid. using ika spyware is quadruple(y) stupid.

>>105860750
you're right but I don't even use it that much because then I have to reset my IP like two times a day because it outs me as a bot so I just watch in on youtube +ads -hardware acceleration like a cuck
