This was apparently useful for correct interlaced scaling (although I don't know anyone who used this). It was rarely used (if at all), had an inconvenient output format (packed YUV), and now has a better solution in libavfilter (using the libavfilter "scale" filter via vf_lavfi). There is no reason to keep this filter any longer.

VIDEO FILTERS
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Video filters allow you to modify the video stream and its properties. The
|
|
syntax is:
|
|
|
|
``--vf=<filter1[=parameter1:parameter2:...],filter2,...>``
|
|
Setup a chain of video filters.
|
|
|
|
You can also set defaults for each filter. The defaults are applied before the
|
|
normal filter parameters.
|
|
|
|
``--vf-defaults=<filter1[=parameter1:parameter2:...],filter2,...>``
|
|
Set defaults for each filter.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
To get a full list of available video filters, see ``--vf=help``.
|
|
|
|
Video filters are managed in lists. There are a few commands to manage the
|
|
filter list.
|
|
|
|
``--vf-add=<filter1[,filter2,...]>``
|
|
Appends the filters given as arguments to the filter list.
|
|
|
|
``--vf-pre=<filter1[,filter2,...]>``
|
|
Prepends the filters given as arguments to the filter list.
|
|
|
|
``--vf-del=<index1[,index2,...]>``
|
|
Deletes the filters at the given indexes. Index numbers start at 0,
|
|
negative numbers address the end of the list (-1 is the last).
|
|
|
|
``--vf-clr``
|
|
Completely empties the filter list.
|
|
|
|
With filters that support it, you can access parameters by their name.
|
|
|
|
``--vf=<filter>=help``
|
|
Prints the parameter names and parameter value ranges for a particular
|
|
filter.
|
|
|
|
``--vf=<filter=named_parameter1=value1[:named_parameter2=value2:...]>``
|
|
Sets a named parameter to the given value. Use on and off or yes and no to
|
|
set flag parameters.
|
|
|
|
Available filters are:
|
|
|
|
``crop[=w:h:x:y]``
|
|
Crops the given part of the image and discards the rest. Useful to remove
|
|
black bands from widescreen videos.
|
|
|
|
``<w>,<h>``
|
|
Cropped width and height, defaults to original width and height.
|
|
``<x>,<y>``
|
|
Position of the cropped picture, defaults to center.
|
|
|
|
``expand[=w:h:x:y:aspect:round]``
|
|
Expands (not scales) video resolution to the given value and places the
|
|
unscaled original at coordinates x, y.
|
|
|
|
``<w>,<h>``
|
|
Expanded width,height (default: original width,height). Negative
|
|
values for w and h are treated as offsets to the original size.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example
|
|
|
|
``expand=0:-50:0:0``
|
|
Adds a 50 pixel border to the bottom of the picture.

|
|
|
``<x>,<y>``
|
|
position of original image on the expanded image (default: center)
|
|
|
|
``<aspect>``
|
|
Expands to fit an aspect instead of a resolution (default: 0).
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example
|
|
|
|
``expand=800::::4/3``
|
|
Expands to 800x600, unless the source is higher resolution, in
|
|
which case it expands to fill a 4/3 aspect.
|
|
|
|
``<round>``
|
|
Rounds up to make both width and height divisible by <r> (default: 1).
|
|
|

|
``mirror``
|
|
Mirrors the image on the Y axis.

|
|
|
|
``scale[=w:h:param:param2:chr-drop:noup:arnd``
|
|
Scales the image with the software scaler (slow) and performs a YUV<->RGB
|
|
color space conversion (see also ``--sws``).
|
|
|
|
All parameters are optional.
|
|
|
|
``<w>,<h>``
|
|
scaled width/height (default: original width/height)
|
|
|
|
:0: scaled d_width/d_height
|
|
:-1: original width/height

:-3: Calculate w/h using the other dimension and the original
|
|
aspect ratio.
|
|
:-(n+8): Like -n above, but rounding the dimension to the closest
|
|
multiple of 16.
|
|
|
|
``<param>[:<param2>]`` (see also ``--sws``)
|
|
Set some scaling parameters depending on the type of scaler selected
|
|
with ``--sws``::

``<chr-drop>``
|
|
chroma skipping
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

``<noup>``
|
|
Disallow upscaling past the original dimensions.
|
|
|
|
:0: Allow upscaling (default).

|
|
:2: Disallow upscaling if both dimensions exceed their original values.

|
|
|
|
``dsize[=w:h:aspect-method:r:aspect]``
|
|
Changes the intended display size/aspect at an arbitrary point in the
|
|
filter chain. Aspect can be given as a fraction (4/3) or floating point
|
|
number (1.33). Alternatively, you may specify the exact display width and
|
|
height desired. Note that this filter does *not* do any scaling itself; it
|
|
just affects what later scalers (software or hardware) will do when
|
|
auto-scaling to correct aspect.
|
|
|
|
``<w>,<h>``
|
|
New display width and height.
|
|
|
|
Can also be these special values:
|
|
|
|
:0: original display width and height
|
|
:-1: original video width and height (default)
|
|
:-2: Calculate w/h using the other dimension and the original display
|
|
aspect ratio.
|
|
:-3: Calculate w/h using the other dimension and the original video
|
|
aspect ratio.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example
|
|
|
|
``dsize=800:-2``
|
|
Specifies a display resolution of 800x600 for a 4/3 aspect
|
|
video, or 800x450 for a 16/9 aspect video.
|
|
|
|
``<aspect-method>``
|
|
Modifies width and height according to original aspect ratios.
|
|
|
|
:-1: Ignore original aspect ratio (default).
|
|
:0: Keep display aspect ratio by using ``<w>`` and ``<h>`` as maximum
|
|
resolution.
|
|
:1: Keep display aspect ratio by using ``<w>`` and ``<h>`` as minimum
|
|
resolution.
|
|
:2: Keep video aspect ratio by using ``<w>`` and ``<h>`` as maximum
|
|
resolution.
|
|
:3: Keep video aspect ratio by using ``<w>`` and ``<h>`` as minimum
|
|
resolution.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example
|
|
|
|
``dsize=800:600:0``
|
|
Specifies a display resolution of at most 800x600, or smaller,
|
|
in order to keep aspect.
|
|
|
|
``<r>``
|
|
Rounds up to make both width and height divisible by ``<r>``
|
|
(default: 1).
|
|
|
|
``<aspect>``
|
|
Force an aspect ratio.
|
|
|
|
``format[=fmt[:outfmt]]``
|
|
Restricts the color space for the next filter without doing any conversion.
|
|
Use together with the scale filter for a real conversion.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
For a list of available formats, see ``format=fmt=help``.
|
|
|
|
``<fmt>``
|
|
Format name, e.g. rgb15, bgr24, 420p, etc. (default: yuyv).
|
|
``<outfmt>``
|
|
Format name that should be substituted for the output. If this is not
|
|
100% compatible with the ``<fmt>`` value, it will crash.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Examples
|
|
|
|
====================== =====================
|
|
Valid Invalid (will crash)
|
|
====================== =====================
|
|
``format=rgb24:bgr24`` ``format=rgb24:420p``
|
|
``format=yuyv:uyvy``
|
|
====================== =====================
|
|
|
|
``noformat[=fmt]``
|
|
Restricts the color space for the next filter without doing any conversion.
|
|
Unlike the format filter, this will allow any color space except the one
|
|
you specify.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: For a list of available formats, see ``noformat=fmt=help``.
|
|
|
|
``<fmt>``
|
|
Format name, e.g. rgb15, bgr24, 420p, etc. (default: 420p).
|
|
|
|
``lavfi=graph[:sws-flags[:o=opts]]``
|
|
Filter video using FFmpeg's libavfilter.
|
|
|
|
``<graph>``
|
|
The libavfilter graph string. The filter must have a single video input
|
|
pad and a single video output pad.
|
|
|
|
See `<https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html>`_ for syntax and available
|
|
filters.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the full filter syntax with this option, you have
|
|
to quote the filter graph in order to prevent mpv's syntax and the
|
|
filter graph syntax from clashing.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Examples
|
|
|
|
``-vf lavfi=[gradfun=20:30,vflip]``
|
|
``gradfun`` filter with nonsense parameters, followed by a
|
|
``vflip`` filter. (This demonstrates how libavfilter takes a
|
|
graph and not just a single filter.) The filter graph string is
|
|
quoted with ``[`` and ``]``. This requires no additional quoting
|
|
or escaping with some shells (like bash), while others (like
|
|
zsh) require additional ``"`` quotes around the option string.
|
|
|
|
``'--vf=lavfi="gradfun=20:30,vflip"'``
|
|
Same as before, but uses quoting that should be safe with all
|
|
shells. The outer ``'`` quotes make sure that the shell does not
|
|
remove the ``"`` quotes needed by mpv.
|
|
|
|
``'--vf=lavfi=graph="gradfun=radius=30:strength=20,vflip"'``
|
|
Same as before, but uses named parameters for everything.
|
|
|
|
``<sws-flags>``
|
|
If libavfilter inserts filters for pixel format conversion, this
|
|
option gives the flags which should be passed to libswscale. This
|
|
option is numeric and takes a bit-wise combination of ``SWS_`` flags.
|
|
|
|
See ``http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libswscale/swscale.h``.
|
|
|
|
``<o>``
|
|
Set AVFilterGraph options. These should be documented by FFmpeg.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example
|
|
|
|
``'--vf=lavfi=yadif:o="threads=2,thread_type=slice"'``
|
|
forces a specific threading configuration.
|
|
|
|
``noise[=<strength>[:averaged][:pattern][:temporal][:uniform][:hq]``
|
|
Adds noise.
|
|
|
|
``strength``
|
|
Set the noise for all components. If you want different strength
|
|
values for luma and chroma, use libavfilter's noise filter directly
|
|
(using ``--vf=lavfi=[noise=...]``), or tell the libavfilter developers
|
|
to stop being stupid.
|
|
|
|
``averaged``
|
|
averaged temporal noise (smoother, but a lot slower)
|
|
|
|
``pattern``
|
|
mix random noise with a (semi)regular pattern
|
|
|
|
``temporal``
|
|
temporal noise (noise pattern changes between frames)
|
|
|
|
``uniform``
|
|
uniform noise (Gaussian otherwise)
|
|
|
|
``hq``
|
|
high quality (slightly better looking, slightly slower) - not available
|
|
when using libavfilter
|
|
|
|
``hqdn3d[=luma_spatial:chroma_spatial:luma_tmp:chroma_tmp]``
|
|
This filter aims to reduce image noise producing smooth images and making
|
|
still images really still (This should enhance compressibility.).
|
|
|
|
``<luma_spatial>``
|
|
spatial luma strength (default: 4)
|
|
``<chroma_spatial>``
|
|
spatial chroma strength (default: 3)
|
|
``<luma_tmp>``
|
|
luma temporal strength (default: 6)
|
|
``<chroma_tmp>``
|
|
chroma temporal strength (default:
|
|
``luma_tmp*chroma_spatial/luma_spatial``)
|
|
|
|
``eq[=gamma:contrast:brightness:saturation:rg:gg:bg:weight]``
|
|
Software equalizer that uses lookup tables (slow), allowing gamma correction
|
|
in addition to simple brightness and contrast adjustment. The parameters are
|
|
given as floating point values.
|
|
|
|
``<0.1-10>``
|
|
initial gamma value (default: 1.0)
|
|
``<-2-2>``
|
|
initial contrast, where negative values result in a negative image
|
|
(default: 1.0)
|
|
``<-1-1>``
|
|
initial brightness (default: 0.0)
|
|
``<0-3>``
|
|
initial saturation (default: 1.0)
|
|
``<0.1-10>``
|
|
gamma value for the red component (default: 1.0)
|
|
``<0.1-10>``
|
|
gamma value for the green component (default: 1.0)
|
|
``<0.1-10>``
|
|
gamma value for the blue component (default: 1.0)
|
|
``<0-1>``
|
|
The weight parameter can be used to reduce the effect of a high gamma
|
|
value on bright image areas, e.g. keep them from getting overamplified
|
|
and just plain white. A value of 0.0 turns the gamma correction all
|
|
the way down while 1.0 leaves it at its full strength (default: 1.0).
|
|
|
|
``unsharp[=lx:ly:la:cx:cy:ca]``
|
|
unsharp mask / Gaussian blur
|
|
|
|
``l`` is for the luma component, ``c`` for the chroma component. ``x``/``y``
|
|
is the filter size. ``a`` is the amount.
|
|
|
|
``lx``, ``ly``, ``cx``, ``cy``
|
|
width and height of the matrix, odd sized in both directions (min =
|
|
3:3, max = 13:11 or 11:13, usually something between 3:3 and 7:7)
|
|
|
|
``la``, ``ca``
|
|
Relative amount of sharpness/blur to add to the image (a sane range
|
|
should be -1.5-1.5).
|
|
|
|
:<0: blur
|
|
:>0: sharpen
|
|
|
|
``pullup[=jl:jr:jt:jb:sb:mp]``
|
|
Pulldown reversal (inverse telecine) filter, capable of handling mixed
|
|
hard-telecine, 24000/1001 fps progressive, and 30000/1001 fps progressive
|
|
content. The ``pullup`` filter makes use of future context in making its
|
|
decisions. It is stateless in the sense that it does not lock onto a pattern
|
|
to follow, but it instead looks forward to the following fields in order to
|
|
identify matches and rebuild progressive frames.
|
|
|
|
``jl``, ``jr``, ``jt``, and ``jb``
|
|
These options set the amount of "junk" to ignore at the left, right,
|
|
top, and bottom of the image, respectively. Left/right are in units of
|
|
8 pixels, while top/bottom are in units of 2 lines. The default is 8
|
|
pixels on each side.
|
|
|
|
``sb`` (strict breaks)
|
|
Setting this option to 1 will reduce the chances of ``pullup``
|
|
generating an occasional mismatched frame, but it may also cause an
|
|
excessive number of frames to be dropped during high motion sequences.
|
|
Conversely, setting it to -1 will make ``pullup`` match fields more
|
|
easily. This may help processing of video where there is slight
|
|
blurring between the fields, but may also cause there to be interlaced
|
|
frames in the output.
|
|
|
|
``mp`` (metric plane)
|
|
This option may be set to ``u`` or ``v`` to use a chroma plane instead of the
|
|
luma plane for doing ``pullup``'s computations. This may improve accuracy
|
|
on very clean source material, but more likely will decrease accuracy,
|
|
especially if there is chroma noise (rainbow effect) or any grayscale
|
|
video. The main purpose of setting ``mp`` to a chroma plane is to reduce
|
|
CPU load and make pullup usable in realtime on slow machines.
|
|
|
|
``yadif=[mode[:enabled=yes|no]]``
|
|
Yet another deinterlacing filter
|
|
|
|
``<mode>``
|
|
:frame: Output 1 frame for each frame.
|
|
:field: Output 1 frame for each field.
|
|
:frame-nospatial: Like ``frame`` but skips spatial interlacing check.
|
|
:field-nospatial: Like ``field`` but skips spatial interlacing check.
|
|
|
|
``<enabled>``
|
|
:yes: Filter is active (default).
|
|
:no: Filter is not active, but can be activated with the ``D`` key
|
|
(or any other key that toggles the ``deinterlace`` property).
|
|
|
|
This filter, is automatically inserted when using the ``D`` key (or any
|
|
other key that toggles the ``deinterlace`` property or when using the
|
|
``--deinterlace`` switch), assuming the video output does not have native
|
|
deinterlacing support.
|
|
|
|
If you just want to set the default mode, put this filter and its options
|
|
into ``--vf-defaults`` instead, and enable deinterlacing with ``D`` or
|
|
``--deinterlace``.
|
|
|
|
Also note that the ``D`` key is stupid enough to insert an interlacer twice
|
|
when inserting yadif with ``--vf``, so using the above methods is
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
``delogo[=x:y:w:h:t:show]``
|
|
Suppresses a TV station logo by a simple interpolation of the surrounding
|
|
pixels. Just set a rectangle covering the logo and watch it disappear (and
|
|
sometimes something even uglier appear - your mileage may vary).
|
|
|
|
``<x>,<y>``
|
|
top left corner of the logo
|
|
``<w>,<h>``
|
|
width and height of the cleared rectangle
|
|
``<t>``
|
|
Thickness of the fuzzy edge of the rectangle (added to ``w`` and
|
|
``h``). When set to -1, a green rectangle is drawn on the screen to
|
|
simplify finding the right ``x``,``y``,``w``,``h`` parameters.
|
|
``show``
|
|
Draw a rectangle showing the area defined by x/y/w/h.
|
|
|
|
``screenshot``
|
|
Optional filter for screenshot support. This is only needed if the video
|
|
output does not provide working direct screenshot support. Note that it is
|
|
not always safe to insert this filter by default. See `TAKING SCREENSHOTS`_
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
``sub=[=bottom-margin:top-margin]``
|
|
Moves subtitle rendering to an arbitrary point in the filter chain, or force
|
|
subtitle rendering in the video filter as opposed to using video output OSD
|
|
support.
|
|
|
|
``<bottom-margin>``
|
|
Adds a black band at the bottom of the frame. The SSA/ASS renderer can
|
|
place subtitles there (with ``--ass-use-margins``).
|
|
``<top-margin>``
|
|
Black band on the top for toptitles (with ``--ass-use-margins``).
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Examples
|
|
|
|
``--vf=sub,eq``
|
|
Moves sub rendering before the eq filter. This will put both
|
|
subtitle colors and video under the influence of the video equalizer
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
``stereo3d[=in:out]``
|
|
Stereo3d converts between different stereoscopic image formats.
|
|
|
|
``<in>``
|
|
Stereoscopic image format of input. Possible values:
|
|
|
|
``sbsl`` or ``side_by_side_left_first``
|
|
side by side parallel (left eye left, right eye right)
|
|
``sbsr`` or ``side_by_side_right_first``
|
|
side by side crosseye (right eye left, left eye right)
|
|
``abl`` or ``above_below_left_first``
|
|
above-below (left eye above, right eye below)
|
|
``abr`` or ``above_below_right_first``
|
|
above-below (right eye above, left eye below)
|
|
``ab2l`` or ``above_below_half_height_left_first``
|
|
above-below with half height resolution (left eye above, right eye
|
|
below)
|
|
``ab2r`` or ``above_below_half_height_right_first``
|
|
above-below with half height resolution (right eye above, left eye
|
|
below)
|
|
|
|
``<out>``
|
|
Stereoscopic image format of output. Possible values are all the input
|
|
formats as well as:
|
|
|
|
``arcg`` or ``anaglyph_red_cyan_gray``

``gradfun[=strength[:radius|:size=<size>]]``
|
|
Fix the banding artifacts that are sometimes introduced into nearly flat
|
|
regions by truncation to 8-bit color depth. Interpolates the gradients that
|
|
should go where the bands are, and dithers them.
|
|
|
|
``<strength>``
|
|
Maximum amount by which the filter will change any one pixel. Also the
|
|
threshold for detecting nearly flat regions (default: 1.5).
|
|
|
|
``<radius>``
|
|
Neighborhood to fit the gradient to. Larger radius makes for smoother
|
|
gradients, but also prevents the filter from modifying pixels near
|
|
detailed regions (default: disabled).
|
|
|
|
``<size>``
|
|
size of the filter in percent of the image diagonal size. This is
|
|
used to calculate the final radius size (default: 1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
``dlopen=dll[:a0[:a1[:a2[:a3]]]]``
|
|
Loads an external library to filter the image. The library interface
|
|
is the ``vf_dlopen`` interface specified using ``libmpcodecs/vf_dlopen.h``.
|
|
|
|
``dll=<library>``
|
|
Specify the library to load. This may require a full file system path
|
|
in some cases. This argument is required.
|
|
|
|
``a0=<string>``
|
|
Specify the first parameter to pass to the library.
|
|
|
|
``a1=<string>``
|
|
Specify the second parameter to pass to the library.
|
|
|
|
``a2=<string>``
|
|
Specify the third parameter to pass to the library.
|
|
|
|
``a3=<string>``
|
|
Specify the fourth parameter to pass to the library.
|
|
|
|
``vapoursynth=file:buffered-frames:concurrent-frames``
|
|
Loads a VapourSynth filter script. This is intended for streamed
|
|
processing: mpv actually provides a source filter, instead of using a
|
|
native VapourSynth video source. The mpv source will answer frame
|
|
requests only within a small window of frames (the size of this window
|
|
is controlled with the ``buffered-frames`` parameter), and requests outside
|
|
of that will return errors. As such, you can't use the full power of
|
|
VapourSynth, but you can use certain filters.
|
|
|
|
If you just want to play video generated by a VapourSynth (i.e. using
|
|
a native VapourSynth video source), it's better to use ``vspipe`` and a
|
|
FIFO to feed the video to mpv. The same applies if the filter script
|
|
requires random frame access (see ``buffered-frames`` parameter).
|
|
|
|
This filter is experimental. If it turns out that it works well and is
|
|
used, it will be ported to libavfilter. Otherwise, it will be just removed.
|
|
|
|
``file``
|
|
Filename of the script source. Currently, this is always a python
|
|
script. The variable ``video_in`` is set to the mpv video source,
|
|
and it is expected that the script reads video from it. (Otherwise,
|
|
mpv will decode no video, and the video packet queue will overflow,
|
|
eventually leading to audio being stopped.) The script is also
|
|
expected to pass through timestamps using the ``_DurationNum`` and
|
|
``_DurationDen`` frame properties.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
import vapoursynth as vs
|
|
core = vs.get_core()
|
|
core.std.AddBorders(video_in, 10, 10, 20, 20).set_output()
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
The script will be reloaded on every seek. This is done to reset
|
|
the filter properly on discontinuities.
|
|
|
|
``buffered-frames``
|
|
Maximum number of decoded video frames that should be buffered before
|
|
the filter (default: 4). This specifies the maximum number of frames
|
|
the script can requests backwards. E.g. if ``buffered-frames=5``, and
|
|
the script just requested frame 15, it can still request frame 10, but
|
|
frame 9 is not available anymore. If it requests frame 30, mpv will
|
|
decode 15 more frames, and keep only frames 25-30.
|
|
|
|
The actual number of buffered frames also depends on the value of the
|
|
``concurrent-frames`` option. Currently, both option values are
|
|
multiplied to get the final buffer size.
|
|
|
|
(Normally, VapourSynth source filters must provide random access, but
|
|
mpv was made for playback, and does not provide frame-exact random
|
|
access. The way this video filter works is a compromise to make simple
|
|
filters work anyway.)
|
|
|
|
``concurrent-frames``
|
|
Number of frames that should be requested in parallel. The
|
|
level of concurrency depends on the filter and how quickly mpv can
|
|
decode video to feed the filter. This value should probably be
|
|
proportional to the number of cores on your machine. Most time,
|
|
making it higher than the number of cores can actually make it
|
|
slower.
|
|
|
|
By default, this uses the special value ``auto``, which sets the option
|
|
to the number of detected logical CPU cores.
|
|
|
|
The following variables are defined by mpv:
|
|
|
|
``video_in``
|
|
The mpv video source as vapoursynth clip. Note that this has no length
|
|
set, which confuses many filters. Using ``Trim`` on the clip with a
|
|
high dummy length can turn it into a finite clip.
|
|
|
|
``video_in_dw``, ``video_in_dh``
|
|
Display size of the video. Can be different from video size if the
|
|
video does not use square pixels (e.g. DVD).
|
|
|
|
``container_fps``
|
|
FPS value as reported by file headers. This value can be wrong or
|
|
completely broken (e.g. 0 or NaN). Even if the value is correct,
|
|
if another filter changes the real FPS (by dropping or inserting
|
|
frames), the value of this variable might not be useful. Note that
|
|
the ``--fps`` command line option overrides this value.
|
|
|
|
Useful for some filters which insist on having a FPS.
|
|
|
|
``vapoursynth-lazy``
|
|
The same as ``vapoursynth``, but doesn't load Python scripts. Instead, a
|
|
custom backend using Lua and the raw VapourSynth API is used. The syntax
|
|
is completely different, and absolutely no conveniencve features are
|
|
provided. There's no type checking either, and you can trigger crashes.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Example:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
video_out = invoke("morpho", "Open", {clip = video_in})
|
|
|
|
The special variable ``video_in`` is the mpv video source, while the
|
|
special variable ``video_out`` is used to read video from. The 1st argument
|
|
is the plugin (queried with ``getPluginByNs``), the 2nd is the filter name,
|
|
and the 3rd argument is a table with the arguments. Positional arguments
|
|
are not supported. The types must match exactly. Since Lua is terrible and
|
|
can't distinguish integers and floats, integer arguments must be prefixed
|
|
with ``i_``, in which case the prefix is removed and the argument is cast
|
|
to an integer. Should the argument's name start with ``i_``, you're out of
|
|
luck.
|
|
|
|
Clips (VSNodeRef) are passed as light userdata, so trying to pass any
|
|
other userdata type will result in hard crashes.
|
|
|
|
``vavpp``
|
|
VA-AP-API video post processing. Works with ``--vo=vaapi`` and ``--vo=opengl``
|
|
only. Currently deinterlaces. This filter is automatically inserted if
|
|
deinterlacing is requested (either using the ``D`` key, by default mapped to
|
|
the command ``cycle deinterlace``, or the ``--deinterlace`` option).
|
|
|
|
``deint=<method>``
|
|
Select the deinterlacing algorithm.
|
|
|
|
no
|
|
Don't perform deinterlacing.
|
|
first-field
|
|
Show only first field (going by ``--field-dominance``).
|
|
bob
|
|
bob deinterlacing (default).
|
|
weave, motion-adaptive, motion-compensated
|
|
Advanced deinterlacing algorithms. Whether these actually work
|
|
depends on the GPU hardware, the GPU drivers, driver bugs, and
|
|
mpv bugs.
|
|
|
|
``vdpaupp``
|
|
VDPAU video post processing. Works with ``--vo=vdpau`` and ``--vo=opengl``
|
|
only. This filter is automatically inserted if deinterlacing is requested
|
|
(either using the ``D`` key, by default mapped to the command
|
|
``cycle deinterlace``, or the ``--deinterlace`` option). When enabling
|
|
deinterlacing, it is always preferred over software deinterlacer filters
|
|
if the ``vdpau`` VO is used, and also if ``opengl`` is used and hardware
|
|
decoding was activated at least once (i.e. vdpau was loaded).
|
|
|
|
``sharpen=<-1-1>``
|
|
For positive values, apply a sharpening algorithm to the video, for
|
|
negative values a blurring algorithm (default: 0).
|
|
``denoise=<0-1>``
|
|
Apply a noise reduction algorithm to the video (default: 0; no noise
|
|
reduction).
|
|
``deint=<yes|no>``
|
|
Whether deinterlacing is enabled (default: no). If enabled, it will use
|
|
the mode selected with ``deint-mode``.
|
|
``deint-mode=<first-field|bob|temporal|temporal-spatial>``
|
|
Select deinterlacing mode (default: temporal).
|
|
All modes respect ``--field-dominance``.
|
|
|
|
Note that there's currently a mechanism that allows the ``vdpau`` VO to
|
|
change the ``deint-mode`` of auto-inserted ``vdpaupp`` filters. To avoid
|
|
confusion, it's recommended not to use the ``--vo=vdpau`` suboptions
|
|
related to filtering.
|
|
|
|
first-field
|
|
Show only first field.
|
|
bob
|
|
Bob deinterlacing.
|
|
temporal
|
|
Motion-adaptive temporal deinterlacing. May lead to A/V desync
|
|
with slow video hardware and/or high resolution.
|
|
temporal-spatial
|
|
Motion-adaptive temporal deinterlacing with edge-guided spatial
|
|
interpolation. Needs fast video hardware.
|
|
``chroma-deint``
|
|
Makes temporal deinterlacers operate both on luma and chroma (default).
|
|
Use no-chroma-deint to solely use luma and speed up advanced
|
|
deinterlacing. Useful with slow video memory.
|
|
``pullup``
|
|
Try to apply inverse telecine, needs motion adaptive temporal
|
|
deinterlacing.
|
|
``hqscaling=<0-9>``
|
|
0
|
|
Use default VDPAU scaling (default).
|
|
1-9
|
|
Apply high quality VDPAU scaling (needs capable hardware).
|
|
|
|
``buffer=<num>``
|
|
Buffer ``<num>`` frames in the filter chain. This filter is probably pretty
|
|
useless, except for debugging. (Note that this won't help smoothing out
|
|
latencies with decoding, because the filter will never output a frame if
|
|
the buffer isn't full, except on EOF.)
