Media servers (like Plex) that support .avs scripts?

[ogrgkyle]

Are there any media servers that support .avs scripts? For example, let's say I have a bunch of ripped DVDs with letterboxing or something like that, and I don't want to re-encode them. Could I just make an .avs AviSynth script for each video and then play the videos through the scripts?

Which media players support this? BTW, I wish VLC did. Is there a plugin? Thanks.

EDIT: To clarify, I am asking about both media servers (like Plex) and media players (like VLC).

what are you looking for now a media server or a media player.

MPC-hc with madVRR can do this without avs and it can play AVS too.

[ogrgkyle]

Looking for media servers and players. Hey, you're right, MPC-HC + madVR works!

Can I set an aspect ratio in AviSynth? For example, I'm playing a 720x480 MPEG (through a script) in MPC-HC, and it plays with square pixels (3:2 ratio), but I want it to display as 16:9. I don't want to have to change the ratio in MPC-HC every time I play a video. Is the only way to accomplish this to scale the video in AviSynth -- for example, to 852x480?

SomeResizer(854,480) # eg Spline36Resize, BicubicResize, Lanczos4Resize, GaussResize, etc

EDIT: Any reason you cant just use "Video Frame/Aspect Ratio/16:9" ?
EDIT: My MPC-HC stickies the 16:9 setting, so plays 16:9 always.
EDIT: I see, you want setting per script, not permanently 16:9.

playing AVS is not an ideal solution. just use the madVR cropping feature and you will spare a lot of time a problems.

[ogrgkyle]

How do you use that cropping feature? I'm looking for a way where I just click a file and play the video correctly -- without having to filter or crop it after you open it.

[huhn]

madVR options -> processing -> zoom control

you can set this feature up to your needs
doesn't work with dxva2 native and d3d11 native hardware decoding it is fine with copyback hardware decoding.

[ogrgkyle]

Can I customize this to individual videos ahead of time?

[huhn]

it is automatic if there are no black bars it will do nothing.

[ogrgkyle]

Okay, that's nice, but I'd like to be able to do more than that, like scaling and other filtering. I guess for that I'd need Avisynth, or to re-encode.

[huhn]

depends. in term of scaling madVR can do more than enough interm of other processing it can deband and dering.
