        i just like the navigation more if i want to click on a particular episode and the configuration to always default to a certain sub given specific parameters of the subtitle format and language is useful

          ill check it out! the worst thing about mpv to me is going into command prompt for every little thing, even for a small setting change there's absolutely no GUI

            it has a ton of micro features that make it way better to watch shows or anime on, compared with my experience trying it in mpv. even like hotkeys to advance one single frame or go back one single frame, contrast/color settings, but another big thing i liked about it is its pretty minimal like mpv given that it has all these features

            how's the speed when compared to mpv? is it as quick to just load up and play?

            yeah i never once thought that it seemed slow or hiccuped, i tried a good bit of “recommended” media players with the same amount of control or sophistication before settling on potplayer. but you may just end up not really preferring it for whatever reason, which is fair

          The sub-select.lua script ads this functionality to mpv. Idk why your mpv has problems with switching contrast/skiping single frames but it works on my machine

          you can set default subs and audio on mpv, doesn't even need a lua script

          >advance one single frame or go back one single frame
          , and .
          >contrast/color settings
          1 and 2 for contrast
          3 and 4 for brightness
          5 and 6 for gamma
          7 and 8 for saturation

          Serious question

          Can I use mpv on windows to play HDR/DV content? If yes, how do I configure it? Most HDR capable players are barebones (windows integrated one) or literally shit (VLC).

          just start playing it

          Why does VP9 codec cause MPV to go apeshit with a million bugs?

            Sure if you just care about the s/alang. If you want to filter things like sing[s]/song[s] or a specifically named sub track then sub-select makes that possible

    moron here, trying to use mpv on Windows but it's crashing any time I drag a youtube URL onto it.
    I can't find the location of youtube-dl either

    I download the .7z archive, extracted and then ran installer.bat
    What am I doing wrong?

      Use yt-dlp for starters and try placing it in the same directory as mpv itself

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        Thanks, do I need to rename it to youtube-dl?
        Also, I don't see ffmpeg in my install folder either. I swear when I had mpv on a previous machine, after extracting the .7z, both ffmpeg and youtube-dl were there in addition to the usual mpv folders.
        I got nothing this time

        • 2 years ago

          You can do that, but up to date mpv should look for yt-dlp as well as youtube-dl.

      Unfortunately I don't know that one. You need the latest fanciest shit with gpu-next and so on.

    mpv + yt-dlp, since a few months ago it started not playing certain videos when mpv <yt url>
    tried --no-config too

    when it works it shows multi/mkv, when I get multi/edl it's just a blackscreen

    nothing different in the logs

    any idea why?
