mpv.net media player

[xabregas]

Here is my config file:

vd-lavc-threads=16
hwdec=auto
profile=gpu-hq
sub-font=Arial Black
sub-border-color=#ff000000
sub-border-size=1.25
sub-font-size=42
volume=40
audio-pitch-correction=yes
volume-max=100
vf-add=lavfi=[pad=aspect=1.77778:x=(ow-iw)/2:y=(oh-ih)/2]

Can i improve something?

Although subtitles are much better now i feel they can go below video a bit more. Need to figure it out

Another thing i dont know is if opengl-hq is affecting videos that dont need image up or down scaling.

[aufkrawall]

mpv --show-profile=opengl-hq
Profile opengl-hq: 
 profile=gpu-hq
  scale=spline36
  cscale=spline36
  dscale=mitchell
  dither-depth=auto
  correct-downscaling=yes
  sigmoid-upscaling=yes
  deband=yes

Deband is always on with that profile, and ofc the spline chroma scaler might also be noticed over bilinear when there is no luma scaling.
Really dunno about subtitles.

Yes. For 4k i need to disable opengl-hq and use opengl instead because opengl-hq gives me bad color with hevc 10 bit content and higher cpu usage. Opengl gives me correct colors plus lower cpu usage for HEVC 10 bit videos 4k or not.

Mind to provide a screenshot?
opengl-hq should in no way influence colors (except of removing banding). It shouldn't have any influence on the CPU either.

Again: mpv by default always uses a OpenGL renderer (at least currently, D3D11 and Vulkan are in the making or already mostly completed), "opengl-hq" is only the above preset of certain quality settings. There is no "opengl" vs. "opengl-hq".

I btw. don't think it's necessary to provide a --vd-lavc-threads setting.
If your system isn't entirely crappy, you can use --video-sync=display-resample for better frame timing and it should also be save to use --hwdec=dxva2-copy.

We also already had a discussion about --opengl-backend=... in this thread. Default is angle, which I wouldn't advise for best performance (or not at all, if possible).

[xabregas]

Do i need to use any order in giving options to the config file?

Meaning, should --profile= come first than --hwdec= or after?

Sometimes is hard for me to tell if hwdec was used or not. I needed to search for the log command so i realized the decoding always fall back to software decoding. probably no need for 16 threads neither hwdec= setting.

As for the smooth --video-sync=display-resample i feel its similar to madvr smooth motion without losing so much sharpening. Anyway not to my taste.

PS: Well i need the screenshot command please

[aufkrawall]

Without --interpolation, --video-sync=display-resample doesn't introduce any visible blur or whatever.
The order is not relevant for config entries, maybe except of some special video filters.

You can ofc also just press the print screen and insert it into Paint.

You can drag&drop video files onto mpv.com to see the console with information about playback (or start it via shell). Current git version also got overlay script integrated (shift + i), which is also available as a userscript.

I'm fine with opengl-backend=Angle, better performance than dxinterop.
For config file, you don't need --. Just profile=opengl-hq in config file. Order is not important.

Curious about the next version with new gpu-api settings.

[pirlouy]

I was wondering if there is some equivalent for madVR option "automatically detect hard coded black bars".
There's a script (autocrop), but it is not automatic like madVR option.

With madVR, 1 option, and it does the job without taking too much ressources (well... I think).

Version 1.0 is out with a much more feature packed context menu.

Working on IronPython integration now maybe a german dev kan help me with my curent issue described here:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...rum=offtopicde

[stax76]

Version 1.1 has support for Python scripting using IronPython, for testing I migrated the seek-show-position.js script to Python, the API is identical to the Lua/JavaScript API, certainly not fully implemented but assigning to events, executing commands and accessing properties are all shown in the seek-show-position.py script. Since IronPython is .NET based it can also use the APIs which the two included .NET addons use. Personally I think Python is much nicer than Lua and JavaScript, Python scripts can be located in the startup dir in the script folder or in mpv's script folder in the appdata folder. The script is shown below, feel free to ask anything about mpv/mpv.net, .NET addons or Lua/JavaScript/Python scripting. I'm not having any further plans for the player right now since it does everything what I use.

# when seeking displays position and
# duration like so: 70:00 / 80:00
# which is different from mpv which
# uses 01:10:00 / 01:20:00

import math

def seek():
    mp.commandv('show-text',
        format(mp.get_property_number("time-pos")) + " / " + format(mp.get_property_number("duration")))

def format(f):
    sec = round(f)
    
    if sec < 0:
        sec = 0
    
    pos_min_floor = math.floor(sec / 60)
    sec_rest = sec - pos_min_floor * 60
    return add_zero(pos_min_floor) + ":" + add_zero(sec_rest)

def add_zero(val):
    val = round(val)
    return "" + str(int(val)) if (val > 9) else "0" + str(int(val))

#mp.Seek += seek
mp.register_event("seek", seek)

1.2

• a thread synchonisation bug which caused the shutdown to be delayed or frozen was fixed, it also caused the Shutdown event not to fire which caused the rating plugin not to work

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/releases

[stax76]

1.3

• besides Lua/JavaScript/C#/Python there is now PowerShell supported as fifth scripting language
  
• in case there isn't yet a mpv.conf file mpv.net creates the file with certain default settings that were previously set on every mpv.net start. This was changed to provide transparency on which settings mpv.net uses. These default settings can be seen here: https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/bl...s/mpv.conf.txt

1.4

• the last thread sync fix wasn't working well, the delayed shutdown should be gone for good now
• libmpv updated

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/releases

[stax76]

In the mpv SDK docs of Lua/JS I'm not sure I understand the following:

mp.get_property_bool(name [,def])

    Similar to mp.get_property, but return the property value as Boolean.

    Returns a Boolean on success, or def, error on error.

Does def here stand for a default value? I understand it as follows:

If the property is not available it returns the default value and if the property is not available and no default value was provided it returns an error.

1.5

• the info command supports now info for music files instead of showing an exception on music files
• added support for WM_APPCOMMAND API to support media keyboards
• fixed Alt key input not working
• mpv.net API methods renamed to match the names used in the Lua/JS API

It would be nice if configuration was doable through a GUI. MPV documentation is... complex. You state so in the OP, I know, but I'm used to madVR, where the GUI allows pretty in-depth configuration.

[stax76]

it's difficult because:

• it should modify mpv.conf to be mpv compatible
• it should be searchable/filterable

most difficult is I never make a easy decision on which programming language and UI toolkit to use, I don't like always using the same languages and toolkits.

[BetA13]

is there a list somewhere on wich settings i can use or are avaiable?
i find it hard to configure it, but i want to learn more of course..

also, is it possible to select the monitor that should be used? i have som eproblems with multimonitor config..

Thanks for this project, really liking the minimalism of it.. even doh its kinda hard to configure..


cheers

mpv.net has hardly documentation, only a few words at the start page:

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net


mpv.net supports many mpv features without difference, mpv is mostly documented here:

https://mpv.io/manual/master

also, is it possible to select the monitor that should be used? i have som eproblems with multimonitor config..

maybe this:

https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-screen

window related features however must be implemented in mpv.net, I should be able to add support for it.
