DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
**mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video
|
|
file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types. Special input URL
|
|
types are available to read input from a variety of sources other than disk
|
|
files. Depending on platform, a variety of different video and audio output
|
|
methods are supported.
|
|
|
|
Usage examples to get you started quickly can be found at the end of this man
|
|
page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INTERACTIVE CONTROL
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
mpv has a fully configurable, command-driven control layer which allows you
|
|
to control mpv using keyboard, mouse, joystick or remote control (with
|
|
LIRC). See the ``--input-`` options for ways to customize it.
|
|
|
|
Keyboard Control

USAGE
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Every *flag* option has a *no-flag* counterpart, e.g. the opposite of the
|
|
``--fs`` option is ``--no-fs``. ``--fs=yes`` is same as ``--fs``, ``--fs=no``
|
|
is the same as ``--no-fs``.
|
|
|
|
If an option is marked as *(XXX only)*, it will only work in combination with
|
|
the *XXX* option or if *XXX* is compiled in.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The suboption parser (used for example for ``--ao=pcm`` suboptions)
|
|
supports a special kind of string-escaping intended for use with external
|
|
GUIs.
|
|
|
|
It has the following format::
|
|
|
|
%n%string_of_length_n
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Examples
|
|
|
|
``mpv --ao=pcm:file=%10%C:test.wav test.avi``
|
|
|
|
Or in a script:
|
|
|
|
``mpv --ao=pcm:file=%`expr length "$NAME"`%"$NAME" test.avi``
|
|
|
|
Per-File Options
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
When playing multiple files, any option given on the command line usually
|
|
affects all files. Example::
|
|
|
|
mpv --a file1.mkv --b file2.mkv --c
|
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
File Active options
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
file1.mkv ``--a --b --c``
|
|
file2.mkv ``--a --b --c``
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
|
|
(This is different from MPlayer and mplayer2.)
|
|
|
|
Also, if any option is changed at runtime (via input commands), they are not
|
|
reset when a new file is played.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, it is useful to change options per-file. This can be achieved by
|
|
adding the special per-file markers ``--{`` and ``--}``. (Note that you must
|
|
escape these on some shells.) Example::
|
|
|
|
mpv --a file1.mkv --b --\{ --c file2.mkv --d file3.mkv --e --\} file4.mkv --f
|
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
File Active options
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
file1.mkv ``--a --b --f``
|
|
file2.mkv ``--a --b --f --c --d --e``
|
|
file3.mkv ``--a --b --f --c --d --e``
|
|
file4.mkv ``--a --b --f``
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
|
|
Additionally, any file-local option changed at runtime is reset when the current
|
|
file stops playing. If option ``--c`` is changed during playback of
|
|
``file2.mkv``, it is reset when advancing to ``file3.mkv``. This only affects
|
|
file-local options. The option ``--a`` is never reset here.
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION FILES
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Location and Syntax
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
You can put all of the options in configuration files which will be read every
|
|
time mpv is run. The system-wide configuration file 'mpv.conf' is in your
|
|
configuration directory (e.g. ``/etc/mpv`` or ``/usr/local/etc/mpv``), the
|
|
user-specific one is ``~/.mpv/config``.
|
|
User-specific options override system-wide options and options given on the
|
|
command line override either. The syntax of the configuration files is
|
|
``option=<value>``; everything after a *#* is considered a comment. Options
|
|
that work without values can be enabled by setting them to *yes* and disabled by
|
|
setting them to *no*. Even suboptions can be specified in this way.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example configuration file
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# Use opengl video output by default.
|
|
vo=opengl
|
|
# Use quotes for text that can contain spaces:
|
|
status-msg="Time: ${time-pos}"
|
|
|
|
Putting Command Line Options into the Configuration File
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Almost all command line options can be put into the configuration file. Here
|
|
is a small guide:
|
|
|
|
======================= ========================
|
|
Option Configuration file entry
|
|
======================= ========================
|
|
``--flag`` ``flag``
|
|
``-opt val`` ``opt=val``
|
|
``--opt=val`` ``opt=val``
|
|
``-opt "has spaces"`` ``opt="has spaces"``
|
|
======================= ========================
|
|
|
|
File-specific Configuration Files
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can also write file-specific configuration files. If you wish to have a
|
|
configuration file for a file called 'movie.avi', create a file named
|
|
'movie.avi.conf' with the file-specific options in it and put it in
|
|
``~/.mpv/``. You can also put the configuration file in the same directory
|
|
as the file to be played, as long as you give the ``--use-filedir-conf``
|
|
option (either on the command line or in your global config file). If a
|
|
file-specific configuration file is found in the same directory, no
|
|
file-specific configuration is loaded from ``~/.mpv``. In addition, the
|
|
``--use-filedir-conf`` option enables directory-specific configuration files.
|
|
For this, mpv first tries to load a mpv.conf from the same directory
|
|
as the file played and then tries to load any file-specific configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Profiles
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
To ease working with different configurations, profiles can be defined in the
|
|
configuration files. A profile starts with its name in square brackets,
|
|
e.g. ``[my-profile]``. All following options will be part of the profile. A
|
|
description (shown by ``--profile=help``) can be defined with the
|
|
``profile-desc`` option. To end the profile, start another one or use the
|
|
profile name ``default`` to continue with normal options.
|
|
|

|
TAKING SCREENSHOTS
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Screenshots of the currently played file can be taken using the 'screenshot'
|
|
input mode command, which is by default bound to the ``s`` key. Files named
|
|
``shotNNNN.jpg`` will be saved in the working directory, using the first
|
|
available number - no files will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
A screenshot will usually contain the unscaled video contents at the end of the
|
|
video filter chain and subtitles. By default, ``S`` takes screenshots without
|
|
subtitles, while ``s`` includes subtitles.
|
|
|
|
The ``screenshot`` video filter is not required when using a recommended GUI
|
|
video output driver. It should normally not be added to the config file, as
|
|
taking screenshots is handled by the VOs, and adding the screenshot filter will
|
|
break hardware decoding. (The filter may still be useful for taking screenshots
|
|
at a certain point within the video chain when using multiple video filters.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
There are a number of environment variables that can be used to control the
|
|
behavior of mpv.
|
|
|
|
``HOME``
|
|
Used to determine mpv config directory: ``$HOME/.mpv``
|
|
|
|
``TERM``
|
|
Used to determine terminal type.
|
|
|
|
``MPV_HOME``
|
|
Directory where mpv looks for user settings. Overrides ``HOME``, and mpv
|
|
will try to load the config file as ``$MPV_HOME/config``.
|
|
|
|
``MPV_LOCALEDIR``
|
|
Directory where mpv looks for gettext translation files (if enabled).
|
|
|
|
``MPV_VERBOSE`` (see also ``-v`` and ``--msglevel``)
|
|
Set the initial verbosity level across all message modules (default: 0).
|
|
The resulting verbosity corresponds to that of ``--msglevel=5`` plus the
|
|
value of ``MPV_VERBOSE``.
|
|
|
|
``MPV_LEAK_REPORT``
|
|
If set to ``1``, enable internal talloc leak reporting. Note that this can
|
|
cause trouble with multithreading, so only developers should use this.
|
|
|
|
``LADSPA_PATH``
|
|
Specifies the search path for LADSPA plugins. If it is unset, fully
|
|
qualified path names must be used.
|
|
|
|
``DISPLAY``
|
|
Standard X11 display name to use.
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg/Libav:
|
|
This library accesses various environment variables. However, they are not
|
|
centrally documented, and documenting them is not our job. Therefore, this
|
|
list is incomplete.
|
|
|
|
Notable environment variables:
|
|
|
|
``http_proxy``
|
|
URL to proxy for ``http://`` and ``https://`` URLs.
|
|
|
|
``no_proxy``
|
|
List of domain patterns for which no proxy should be used.
|
|
List entries are separated by ``,``. Patterns can include ``*``.
|
|
|
|
libdvdcss:
|
|
``DVDCSS_CACHE``
|
|
Specify a directory in which to store title key values. This will
|
|
speed up descrambling of DVDs which are in the cache. The
|
|
``DVDCSS_CACHE`` directory is created if it does not exist, and a
|
|
subdirectory is created named after the DVD's title or manufacturing
|
|
date. If ``DVDCSS_CACHE`` is not set or is empty, libdvdcss will use
|
|
the default value which is ``${HOME}/.dvdcss/`` under Unix and
|
|
the roaming application data directory (``%APPDATA%``) under
|
|
Windows. The special value "off" disables caching.
|
|
|
|
``DVDCSS_METHOD``
|
|
Sets the authentication and decryption method that libdvdcss will use
|
|
to read scrambled discs. Can be one of ``title``, ``key`` or ``disc``.
|
|
|
|
key
|
|
is the default method. libdvdcss will use a set of calculated
|
|
player keys to try and get the disc key. This can fail if the drive
|
|
does not recognize any of the player keys.
|
|
|
|
disc
|
|
is a fallback method when key has failed. Instead of using player
|
|
keys, libdvdcss will crack the disc key using a brute force
|
|
algorithm. This process is CPU intensive and requires 64 MB of
|
|
memory to store temporary data.
|
|
|
|
title
|
|
is the fallback when all other methods have failed. It does not
|
|
rely on a key exchange with the DVD drive, but rather uses a crypto
|
|
attack to guess the title key. On rare cases this may fail because
|
|
there is not enough encrypted data on the disc to perform a
|
|
statistical attack, but on the other hand it is the only way to
|
|
decrypt a DVD stored on a hard disc, or a DVD with the wrong region
|
|
on an RPC2 drive.
|
|
|
|
``DVDCSS_RAW_DEVICE``
|
|
Specify the raw device to use. Exact usage will depend on your
|
|
operating system, the Linux utility to set up raw devices is raw(8)
|
|
for instance. Please note that on most operating systems, using a raw
|
|
device requires highly aligned buffers: Linux requires a 2048 bytes
|
|
alignment (which is the size of a DVD sector).
|
|
|
|
``DVDCSS_VERBOSE``
|
|
Sets the libdvdcss verbosity level.
|
|
|
|
:0: Outputs no messages at all.
|
|
:1: Outputs error messages to stderr.
|
|
:2: Outputs error messages and debug messages to stderr.
|
|
|
|
``DVDREAD_NOKEYS``
|
|
Skip retrieving all keys on startup. Currently disabled.
|
|
|
|
``HOME``
|
|
FIXME: Document this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXIT CODES
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Normally **mpv** returns 0 as exit code after finishing playback successfully.
|
|
If errors happen, the following exit codes can be returned:
|
|
|
|
:1: Error initializing mpv. This is also returned if unknown options are
|
|
passed to mpv.
|
|
:2: The file passed to mpv couldn't be played. This is somewhat fuzzy:
|
|
currently, playback of a file is considered to be successful if
|
|
initialization was mostly successful, even if playback fails
|
|
immediately after initialization.
|
|
:3: There were some files that could be played, and some files which
|
|
couldn't (using the definition of success from above).
|
|
|
|
Note that quitting the player manually will always lead to exit code 0,
|
|
overriding the exit code that would be returned normally. Also, the ``quit``
|
|
input command can take an exit code: in this case, that exit code is returned.
