AUDIO FILTERS
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Audio filters allow you to modify the audio stream and its properties. The
|
|
syntax is:
|
|
|
|
``--af=...``
|
|
Setup a chain of audio filters. See ``--vf`` for the syntax.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
To get a full list of available audio filters, see ``--af=help``.
|
|
|
|
Also, keep in mind that most actual filters are available via the ``lavfi``
|
|
wrapper, which gives you access to most of libavfilter's filters. This
|
|
includes all filters that have been ported from MPlayer to libavfilter.
|
|
|
|
The ``--vf`` description describes how libavfilter can be used and how to
|
|
workaround deprecated mpv filters.
|
|
|
|
See ``--vf`` group of options for info on how ``--af-defaults``, ``--af-add``,
|
|
``--af-pre``, ``--af-del``, ``--af-clr``, and possibly others work.
|
|
|
|
Available filters are:
|
|
|
|
``lavrresample[=option1:option2:...]``
|
|
This filter uses libavresample (or libswresample, depending on the build)
|
|
to change sample rate, sample format, or channel layout of the audio stream.
|
|
This filter is automatically enabled if the audio output does not support
|
|
the audio configuration of the file being played.
|
|
|
|
It supports only the following sample formats: u8, s16, s32, float.
|
|
|
|
``filter-size=<length>``
|
|
Length of the filter with respect to the lower sampling rate. (default:
|
|
16)
|
|
``phase-shift=<count>``
|
|
Log2 of the number of polyphase entries. (..., 10->1024, 11->2048,
|
|
12->4096, ...) (default: 10->1024)
|
|
``cutoff=<cutoff>``
|
|
Cutoff frequency (0.0-1.0), default set depending upon filter length.
|
|
``linear``
|
|
If set then filters will be linearly interpolated between polyphase
|
|
entries. (default: no)
|
|
``no-detach``
|
|
Do not detach if input and output audio format/rate/channels match.
|
|
(If you just want to set defaults for this filter that will be used
|
|
even by automatically inserted lavrresample instances, you should
|
|
prefer setting them with ``--af-defaults=lavrresample:...``.)
|
|
``normalize=<yes|no|auto>``
|
|
Whether to normalize when remixing channel layouts (default: auto).
|
|
``auto`` uses the value set by ``--audio-normalize-downmix``.
|
|
``o=<string>``
|
|
Set AVOptions on the SwrContext or AVAudioResampleContext. These should
|
|
be documented by FFmpeg or Libav.
|
|
|
|
``lavcac3enc[=options]``
|
|
Encode multi-channel audio to AC-3 at runtime using libavcodec. Supports
|
|
16-bit native-endian input format, maximum 6 channels. The output is
|
|
big-endian when outputting a raw AC-3 stream, native-endian when
|
|
outputting to S/PDIF. If the input sample rate is not 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz or
|
|
32 kHz, it will be resampled to 48 kHz.
|
|
|
|
``tospdif=<yes|no>``
|
|
Output raw AC-3 stream if ``no``, output to S/PDIF for
|
|
pass-through if ``yes`` (default).
|
|
|
|
``bitrate=<rate>``
|
|
The bitrate use for the AC-3 stream. Set it to 384 to get 384 kbps.
|
|
|
|
The default is 640. Some receivers might not be able to handle this.
|
|
|
|
Valid values: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128,
|
|
160, 192, 224, 256, 320, 384, 448, 512, 576, 640.
|
|
|
|
The special value ``auto`` selects a default bitrate based on the
|
|
input channel number:
|
|
|
|
:1ch: 96
|
|
:2ch: 192
|
|
:3ch: 224
|
|
:4ch: 384
|
|
:5ch: 448
|
|
:6ch: 448
|
|
|
|
``minch=<n>``
|
|
If the input channel number is less than ``<minch>``, the filter will
|
|
detach itself (default: 3).
|
|
|
|
``encoder=<name>``
|
|
Select the libavcodec encoder used. Currently, this should be an AC-3
|
|
encoder, and using another codec will fail horribly.
|
|
|
|
``equalizer=g1:g2:g3:...:g10``
|
|
10 octave band graphic equalizer, implemented using 10 IIR band-pass
|
|
filters. This means that it works regardless of what type of audio is
|
|
being played back. The center frequencies for the 10 bands are:
|
|
|
|
=== ==========
|
|
No. frequency
|
|
=== ==========
|
|
0 31.25 Hz
|
|
1 62.50 Hz
|
|
2 125.00 Hz
|
|
3 250.00 Hz
|
|
4 500.00 Hz
|
|
5 1.00 kHz
|
|
6 2.00 kHz
|
|
7 4.00 kHz
|
|
8 8.00 kHz
|
|
9 16.00 kHz
|
|
=== ==========
|
|
|
|
If the sample rate of the sound being played is lower than the center
|
|
frequency for a frequency band, then that band will be disabled. A known
|
|
bug with this filter is that the characteristics for the uppermost band
|
|
are not completely symmetric if the sample rate is close to the center
|
|
frequency of that band. This problem can be worked around by upsampling
|
|
the sound using a resampling filter before it reaches this filter.
|
|
|
|
``<g1>:<g2>:<g3>:...:<g10>``
|
|
floating point numbers representing the gain in dB for each frequency
|
|
band (-12-12)
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=equalizer=11:11:10:5:0:-12:0:5:12:12 media.avi``
|
|
Would amplify the sound in the upper and lower frequency region
|
|
while canceling it almost completely around 1 kHz.
|
|
|
|
``channels=nch[:routes]``
|
|
Can be used for adding, removing, routing and copying audio channels. If
|
|
only ``<nch>`` is given, the default routing is used. It works as follows:
|
|
If the number of output channels is greater than the number of input
|
|
channels, empty channels are inserted (except when mixing from mono to
|
|
stereo; then the mono channel is duplicated). If the number of output
|
|
channels is less than the number of input channels, the exceeding
|
|
channels are truncated.
|
|
|
|
``<nch>``
|
|
number of output channels (1-8)
|
|
``<routes>``
|
|
List of ``,`` separated routes, in the form ``from1-to1,from2-to2,...``.
|
|
Each pair defines where to route each channel. There can be at most
|
|
8 routes. Without this argument, the default routing is used. Since
|
|
``,`` is also used to separate filters, you must quote this argument
|
|
with ``[...]`` or similar.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Examples
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=channels=4:[0-1,1-0,2-2,3-3] media.avi``
|
|
Would change the number of channels to 4 and set up 4 routes that
|
|
swap channel 0 and channel 1 and leave channel 2 and 3 intact.
|
|
Observe that if media containing two channels were played back,
|
|
channels 2 and 3 would contain silence but 0 and 1 would still be
|
|
swapped.
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=channels=6:[0-0,0-1,0-2,0-3] media.avi``
|
|
Would change the number of channels to 6 and set up 4 routes that
|
|
copy channel 0 to channels 0 to 3. Channel 4 and 5 will contain
|
|
silence.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
You should probably not use this filter. If you want to change the
|
|
output channel layout, try the ``format`` filter, which can make mpv
|
|
automatically up- and downmix standard channel layouts.
|
|
|
|
``format=format:srate:channels:out-format:out-srate:out-channels``
|
|
Does not do any format conversion itself. Rather, it may cause the
|
|
filter system to insert necessary conversion filters before or after this
|
|
filter if needed. It is primarily useful for controlling the audio format
|
|
going into other filters. To specify the format for audio output, see
|
|
``--audio-format``, ``--audio-samplerate``, and ``--audio-channels``. This
|
|
filter is able to force a particular format, whereas ``--audio-*``
|
|
may be overridden by the ao based on output compatibility.
|
|
|
|
All parameters are optional. The first 3 parameters restrict what the filter
|
|
accepts as input. They will therefore cause conversion filters to be
|
|
inserted before this one. The ``out-`` parameters tell the filters or audio
|
|
outputs following this filter how to interpret the data without actually
|
|
doing a conversion. Setting these will probably just break things unless you
|
|
really know you want this for some reason, such as testing or dealing with
|
|
broken media.
|
|
|
|
``<format>``
|
|
Force conversion to this format. Use ``--af=format=format=help`` to get
|
|
a list of valid formats.
|
|
|
|
``<srate>``
|
|
Force conversion to a specific sample rate. The rate is an integer,
|
|
48000 for example.
|
|
|
|
``<channels>``
|
|
Force mixing to a specific channel layout. See ``--audio-channels`` option
|
|
for possible values.
|
|
|
|
``<out-format>``
|
|
|
|
``<out-srate>``
|
|
|
|
``<out-channels>``
|
|
|
|
*NOTE*: this filter used to be named ``force``. The old ``format`` filter
|
|
used to do conversion itself, unlike this one which lets the filter system
|
|
handle the conversion.
|
|
|
|
``volume[=<volumedb>[:...]]``
|
|
Implements software volume control. Use this filter with caution since it
|
|
can reduce the signal to noise ratio of the sound. In most cases it is
|
|
best to use the *Master* volume control of your sound card or the volume
|
|
knob on your amplifier.
|
|
|
|
*WARNING*: This filter is deprecated. Use the top-level options like
|
|
``--volume`` and ``--replaygain...`` instead.
|
|
|
|
*NOTE*: This filter is not reentrant and can therefore only be enabled
|
|
once for every audio stream.
|
|
|
|
``<volumedb>``
|
|
Sets the desired gain in dB for all channels in the stream from -200 dB
|
|
to +60 dB, where -200 dB mutes the sound completely and +60 dB equals a
|
|
gain of 1000 (default: 0).
|
|
``replaygain-track``
|
|
Adjust volume gain according to the track-gain replaygain value stored
|
|
in the file metadata.
|
|
``replaygain-album``
|
|
Like replaygain-track, but using the album-gain value instead.
|
|
``replaygain-preamp``
|
|
Pre-amplification gain in dB to apply to the selected replaygain gain
|
|
(default: 0).
|
|
``replaygain-clip=yes|no``
|
|
Prevent clipping caused by replaygain by automatically lowering the
|
|
gain (default). Use ``replaygain-clip=no`` to disable this.
|
|
``replaygain-fallback``
|
|
Gain in dB to apply if the file has no replay gain tags. This option
|
|
is always applied if the replaygain logic is somehow inactive. If this
|
|
is applied, no other replaygain options are applied.
|
|
``softclip``
|
|
Turns soft clipping on. Soft-clipping can make the
|
|
sound more smooth if very high volume levels are used. Enable this
|
|
option if the dynamic range of the loudspeakers is very low.
|
|
|
|
*WARNING*: This feature creates distortion and should be considered a
|
|
last resort.
|
|
``s16``
|
|
Force S16 sample format if set. Lower quality, but might be faster
|
|
in some situations.
|
|
``detach``
|
|
Remove the filter if the volume is not changed at audio filter config
|
|
time. Useful with replaygain: if the current file has no replaygain
|
|
tags, then the filter will be removed if this option is enabled.
|
|
(If ``--softvol=yes`` is used and the player volume controls are used
|
|
during playback, a different volume filter will be inserted.)
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=volume=10.1 media.avi``
|
|
Would amplify the sound by 10.1 dB and hard-clip if the sound level
|
|
is too high.
|
|
|
|
``pan=n:[<matrix>]``
|
|
Mixes channels arbitrarily. Basically a combination of the volume and the
|
|
channels filter that can be used to down-mix many channels to only a few,
|
|
e.g. stereo to mono, or vary the "width" of the center speaker in a
|
|
surround sound system. This filter is hard to use, and will require some
|
|
tinkering before the desired result is obtained. The number of options for
|
|
this filter depends on the number of output channels. An example how to
|
|
downmix a six-channel file to two channels with this filter can be found
|
|
in the examples section near the end.
|
|
|
|
``<n>``
|
|
Number of output channels (1-8).
|
|
``<matrix>``
|
|
A list of values ``[L00,L01,L02,...,L10,L11,L12,...,Ln0,Ln1,Ln2,...]``,
|
|
where each element ``Lij`` means how much of input channel i is mixed
|
|
into output channel j (range 0-1). So in principle you first have n
|
|
numbers saying what to do with the first input channel, then n numbers
|
|
that act on the second input channel etc. If you do not specify any
|
|
numbers for some input channels, 0 is assumed.
|
|
Note that the values are separated by ``,``, which is already used
|
|
by the option parser to separate filters. This is why you must quote
|
|
the value list with ``[...]`` or similar.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Examples
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=pan=1:[0.5,0.5] media.avi``
|
|
Would downmix from stereo to mono.
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=pan=3:[1,0,0.5,0,1,0.5] media.avi``
|
|
Would give 3 channel output leaving channels 0 and 1 intact, and mix
|
|
channels 0 and 1 into output channel 2 (which could be sent to a
|
|
subwoofer for example).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If you just want to force remixing to a certain output channel layout,
|
|
it is easier to use the ``format`` filter. For example,
|
|
``mpv '--af=format=channels=5.1' '--audio-channels=5.1'`` would always force
|
|
remixing audio to 5.1 and output it like this.
|
|
|
|
This filter supports the following ``af-command`` commands:
|
|
|
|
``set-matrix``
|
|
Set the ``<matrix>`` argument dynamically. This can be used to change
|
|
the mixing matrix at runtime, without reinitializing the entire filter
|
|
chain.
|
|
|
|
``scaletempo[=option1:option2:...]``
|
|
Scales audio tempo without altering pitch, optionally synced to playback
|
|
speed (default).
|
|
|
|
This works by playing 'stride' ms of audio at normal speed then consuming
|
|
'stride*scale' ms of input audio. It pieces the strides together by
|
|
blending 'overlap'% of stride with audio following the previous stride. It
|
|
optionally performs a short statistical analysis on the next 'search' ms
|
|
of audio to determine the best overlap position.
|
|
|
|
``scale=<amount>``
|
|
Nominal amount to scale tempo. Scales this amount in addition to
|
|
speed. (default: 1.0)
|
|
``stride=<amount>``
|
|
Length in milliseconds to output each stride. Too high of a value will
|
|
cause noticeable skips at high scale amounts and an echo at low scale
|
|
amounts. Very low values will alter pitch. Increasing improves
|
|
performance. (default: 60)
|
|
``overlap=<percent>``
|
|
Percentage of stride to overlap. Decreasing improves performance.
|
|
(default: .20)
|
|
``search=<amount>``
|
|
Length in milliseconds to search for best overlap position. Decreasing
|
|
improves performance greatly. On slow systems, you will probably want
|
|
to set this very low. (default: 14)
|
|
``speed=<tempo|pitch|both|none>``
|
|
Set response to speed change.
|
|
|
|
tempo
|
|
Scale tempo in sync with speed (default).
|
|
pitch
|
|
Reverses effect of filter. Scales pitch without altering tempo.
|
|
Add this to your ``input.conf`` to step by musical semi-tones::
|
|
|
|
[ multiply speed 0.9438743126816935
|
|
] multiply speed 1.059463094352953
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Loses sync with video.
|
|
both
|
|
Scale both tempo and pitch.
|
|
none
|
|
Ignore speed changes.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Examples
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=scaletempo --speed=1.2 media.ogg``
|
|
Would play media at 1.2x normal speed, with audio at normal
|
|
pitch. Changing playback speed would change audio tempo to match.
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=scaletempo=scale=1.2:speed=none --speed=1.2 media.ogg``
|
|
Would play media at 1.2x normal speed, with audio at normal
|
|
pitch, but changing playback speed would have no effect on audio
|
|
tempo.
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=scaletempo=stride=30:overlap=.50:search=10 media.ogg``
|
|
Would tweak the quality and performance parameters.
|
|
|
|
``mpv --af=scaletempo=scale=1.2:speed=pitch audio.ogg``
|
|
Would play media at 1.2x normal speed, with audio at normal pitch.
|
|
Changing playback speed would change pitch, leaving audio tempo at
|
|
1.2x.
|
|
|
|
``rubberband``
|
|
High quality pitch correction with librubberband. This can be used in place
|
|
of ``scaletempo``, and will be used to adjust audio pitch when playing
|
|
at speed different from normal. It can also be used to adjust audio pitch
|
|
without changing playback speed.
|
|
|
|
``<pitch-scale>``
|
|
Sets the pitch scaling factor. Frequencies are multiplied by this value.
|
|
|
|
This filter has a number of additional sub-options. You can list them with
|
|
``mpv --af=rubberband=help``. This will also show the default values
|
|
for each option. The options are not documented here, because they are
|
|
merely passed to librubberband. Look at the librubberband documentation
|
|
to learn what each option does:
|
|
http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/code-doc/classRubberBand_1_1RubberBandStretcher.html
|
|
(The mapping of the mpv rubberband filter sub-option names and values to
|
|
those of librubberband follows a simple pattern: ``"Option" + Name + Value``.)
|
|
|
|
This filter supports the following ``af-command`` commands:
|
|
|
|
``set-pitch``
|
|
Set the ``<pitch-scale>`` argument dynamically. This can be used to
|
|
change the playback pitch at runtime. Note that speed is controlled
|
|
using the standard ``speed`` property, not ``af-command``.
|
|
|
|
``lavfi=graph``
|
|
Filter audio using FFmpeg's libavfilter.
|
|
|
|
``<graph>``
|
|
Libavfilter graph. See ``lavfi`` video filter for details - the graph
|
|
syntax is the same.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to quote libavfilter graphs as described in the lavfi
|
|
video filter section.
|
|
|
|
``o=<string>``
|
|
AVOptions.
