Mpv shaders won't work?

[For Fun]

Can someone explain where I did wrong?

I did follow the anime4k instruction but shaders wont show up? did try shift + I and then 2 and it didn't work?

this is how mine `mpv.conf` is setup:

profile=gpu-hq
autofit=50%
deband=no
autofit=50%
hwdec=auto-copy
screenshot-format=png
screenshot-high-bit-depth=yes
screenshot-png-compression=7
volume=100
volume-max=200

glsl-shader="C:\Users\aydin\AppData\Roaming\mpv\shaders\Anime4K_Denoise_Bilateral_Mode.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\Users\aydin\AppData\Roaming\mpv\shaders\Anime4K_Deblur_DoG.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\Users\aydin\AppData\Roaming\mpv\shaders\Anime4K_DarkLines_HQ.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\Users\aydin\AppData\Roaming\mpv\shaders\Anime4K_ThinLines_HQ.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\Users\aydin\AppData\Roaming\mpv\shaders\Anime4K_Upscale_CNN_M_x2_Deblur.glsl"

Your file is named mpv.config? Try mpv.conf

İt is conf sorry I did write it wrong

You can show stats with key t, it will show you that d3d11 is used by default, this is the best choice on Windows btw., but your shaders are opengl, I assume you need to enable opengl, you can try:

gpu-api = opengl


I'm not interested in shaders, but there is a thread were you can ask:

You can view errors with mpv.com instead of usual mpv.exe.

Go into mpv folder, open a cmd, use the command: mpv.com path_to_your_file
and when you use your shaders, you might have errors which could help you identify your problem.

Like stax76, I'm not into shaders, so can't help that much.

For your shortcuts ("shift I then 2"), it depends on your input.conf file.

input.config
CTRL+6 change-list glsl-shaders toggle "~~/shaders/SSimDownscaler.glsl"
CTRL+7 change-list glsl-shaders append "~~/shaders/FineSharp.glsl"


"~~/shaders/FineSharp.glsl" = "C:\Users\aydin\AppData\Roaming\mpv\shaders\Anime4K_Denoise_Bilateral_Mode.glsl" glsl-shader="C:\Users\aydin\AppData\Roaming\mpv\shaders\Anime4K_Deblur_DoG.glsl"

Re: Mpv shaders won't work?

To troubleshoot in mpv, start via command-line (error messages will be directly visible)
if necessary use -v verbose mode, or even more complete --log-file mode.
you can disable all config files with --no-config, or just override the shader chain with --glsl-shaders

If your issue is that no shaders are working, you should test with a single much simpler shader such as invert or black&white (https://github.com/butterw/bShaders/blob/master/mpv/bw.hook.glsl)
ex: mpv --glsl-shaders=bw.hook "b:\Videos\video.mp4"

- shaders can use any file extension.
- shaders that are not found are simply not loaded.
- if there is a syntax error in a shader it will output a blue screen.
