This queries the _ICC_PROFILE property on the root window. It also tries to reload the ICC when it changes, or if the mpv window changes the monitor. (If multiple monitors are covered, mpv will randomly select one of them.) The official spec is a dead link on freedesktop.org, so don't blame me for any bugs. Note that this assumes that Xinerama screen numbers match the way mpv enumerates the xrandr monitors. Although there is some chance that this matches, it most likely doesn't, and we actually have to do complicated things to map the screen numbers. If it turns out that this is required, I will fix it as soon as someone with a suitable setup for testing the fix reports it.

VIDEO OUTPUT DRIVERS
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
Video output drivers are interfaces to different video output facilities. The
|
||
syntax is:
|
||
|
||
``--vo=<driver1[:suboption1[=value]:...],driver2,...[,]>``
|
||
Specify a priority list of video output drivers to be used.
|
||
|
||
If the list has a trailing ',', mpv will fall back on drivers not contained
|
||
in the list. Suboptions are optional and can mostly be omitted.
|
||
|
||
You can also set defaults for each driver. The defaults are applied before the
|
||
normal driver parameters.
|
||
|
||
``--vo-defaults=<driver1[:parameter1:parameter2:...],driver2,...>``
|
||
Set defaults for each driver.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
See ``--vo=help`` for a list of compiled-in video output drivers.
|
||
|
||
The recommended output drivers are ``--vo=vdpau`` and ``--vo=opengl-hq``.
|
||
All other drivers are just for compatibility or special purposes.
|
||
|
||
.. admonition:: Example
|
||
|
||
``--vo=opengl,xv,``
|
||
Try the ``opengl`` driver, then the ``xv`` driver, then others.
|
||
|
||
Available video output drivers are:
|
||
|
||
``xv`` (X11 only)
|
||
Uses the XVideo extension to enable hardware-accelerated display. This is
|
||
the most compatible VO on X, but may be low-quality, and has issues with
|
||
OSD and subtitle display.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This driver is for compatibility with old systems.
|
||
|
||
``adaptor=<number>``
|
||
Select a specific XVideo adapter (check xvinfo results).
|
||
``port=<number>``
|
||
Select a specific XVideo port.
|
||
``ck=<cur|use|set>``
|
||
Select the source from which the color key is taken (default: cur).
|
||
|
||
cur
|
||
The default takes the color key currently set in Xv.
|
||
use
|
||
Use but do not set the color key from mpv (use the ``--colorkey``
|
||
option to change it).
|
||
set
|
||
Same as use but also sets the supplied color key.
|
||
|
||
``ck-method=<man|bg|auto>``
|
||
Sets the color key drawing method (default: man).
|
||
|
||
man
|
||
Draw the color key manually (reduces flicker in some cases).
|
||
bg
|
||
Set the color key as window background.
|
||
auto
|
||
Let Xv draw the color key.
|
||
|
||
``colorkey=<number>``
|
||
Changes the color key to an RGB value of your choice. ``0x000000`` is
|
||
black and ``0xffffff`` is white.
|
||
|
||
``no-colorkey``
|
||
Disables color-keying.
|
||
|
||
``x11`` (X11 only)
|
||
Shared memory video output driver without hardware acceleration that works
|
||
whenever X11 is present.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This is a fallback only, and should not be normally used.
|
||
|
||
``vdpau`` (X11 only)
|
||
Uses the VDPAU interface to display and optionally also decode video.
|
||
Hardware decoding is used with ``--hwdec=vdpau``.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
Earlier versions of mpv (and MPlayer, mplayer2) provided sub-options
|
||
to tune vdpau post-processing, like ``deint``, ``sharpen``, ``denoise``,
|
||
``chroma-deint``, ``pullup``, ``hqscaling``. These sub-options are
|
||
deprecated, and you should use the ``vdpaupp`` video filter instead.
|
||
|
||
``sharpen=<-1-1>``
|
||
(Deprecated. See note about ``vdpaupp``.)
|
||
|
||
For positive values, apply a sharpening algorithm to the video, for
|
||
negative values a blurring algorithm (default: 0).
|
||
``denoise=<0-1>``
|
||
(Deprecated. See note about ``vdpaupp``.)
|
||
|
||
Apply a noise reduction algorithm to the video (default: 0; no noise
|
||
reduction).
|
||
``deint=<-4-4>``
|
||
(Deprecated. See note about ``vdpaupp``.)
|
||
|
||
Select deinterlacing mode (default: 0). In older versions (as well as
|
||
MPlayer/mplayer2) you could use this option to enable deinterlacing.
|
||
This doesn't work anymore, and deinterlacing is enabled with either
|
||
the ``D`` key (by default mapped to the command ``cycle deinterlace``),
|
||
or the ``--deinterlace`` option. Also, to select the default deint mode,
|
||
you should use something like ``--vf-defaults=vdpaupp:deint-mode=temporal``
|
||
instead of this sub-option.
|
||
|
||
0
|
||
Pick the ``vdpaupp`` video filter default, which corresponds to 3.
|
||
1
|
||
Show only first field.
|
||
2
|
||
Bob deinterlacing.
|
||
3
|
||
Motion-adaptive temporal deinterlacing. May lead to A/V desync
|
||
with slow video hardware and/or high resolution.
|
||
4
|
||
Motion-adaptive temporal deinterlacing with edge-guided spatial
|
||
interpolation. Needs fast video hardware.
|
||
``chroma-deint``
|
||
(Deprecated. See note about ``vdpaupp``.)
|
||
|
||
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``
|
||
(Deprecated. See note about ``vdpaupp``.)
|
||
|
||
Try to apply inverse telecine, needs motion adaptive temporal
|
||
deinterlacing.
|
||
``hqscaling=<0-9>``
|
||
(Deprecated. See note about ``vdpaupp``.)
|
||
|
||
0
|
||
Use default VDPAU scaling (default).
|
||
1-9
|
||
Apply high quality VDPAU scaling (needs capable hardware).
|
||
``fps=<number>``
|
||
Override autodetected display refresh rate value (the value is needed
|
||
for framedrop to allow video playback rates higher than display
|
||
refresh rate, and for vsync-aware frame timing adjustments). Default 0
|
||
means use autodetected value. A positive value is interpreted as a
|
||
refresh rate in Hz and overrides the autodetected value. A negative
|
||
value disables all timing adjustment and framedrop logic.
|
||
``composite-detect``
|
||
NVIDIA's current VDPAU implementation behaves somewhat differently
|
||
under a compositing window manager and does not give accurate frame
|
||
timing information. With this option enabled, the player tries to
|
||
detect whether a compositing window manager is active. If one is
|
||
detected, the player disables timing adjustments as if the user had
|
||
specified ``fps=-1`` (as they would be based on incorrect input). This
|
||
means timing is somewhat less accurate than without compositing, but
|
||
with the composited mode behavior of the NVIDIA driver, there is no
|
||
hard playback speed limit even without the disabled logic. Enabled by
|
||
default, use ``no-composite-detect`` to disable.
|
||
``queuetime_windowed=<number>`` and ``queuetime_fs=<number>``
|
||
Use VDPAU's presentation queue functionality to queue future video
|
||
frame changes at most this many milliseconds in advance (default: 50).
|
||
See below for additional information.
|
||
``output_surfaces=<2-15>``
|
||
Allocate this many output surfaces to display video frames (default:
|
||
3). See below for additional information.
|
||
``colorkey=<#RRGGBB|#AARRGGBB>``
|
||
Set the VDPAU presentation queue background color, which in practice
|
||
is the colorkey used if VDPAU operates in overlay mode (default:
|
||
``#020507``, some shade of black). If the alpha component of this value
|
||
is 0, the default VDPAU colorkey will be used instead (which is usually
|
||
green).
|
||
``force-yuv``
|
||
Never accept RGBA input. This means mpv will insert a filter to convert
|
||
to a YUV format before the VO. Sometimes useful to force availability
|
||
of certain YUV-only features, like video equalizer or deinterlacing.
|
||
|
||
Using the VDPAU frame queuing functionality controlled by the queuetime
|
||
options makes mpv's frame flip timing less sensitive to system CPU load and
|
||
allows mpv to start decoding the next frame(s) slightly earlier, which can
|
||
reduce jitter caused by individual slow-to-decode frames. However, the
|
||
NVIDIA graphics drivers can make other window behavior such as window moves
|
||
choppy if VDPAU is using the blit queue (mainly happens if you have the
|
||
composite extension enabled) and this feature is active. If this happens on
|
||
your system and it bothers you then you can set the queuetime value to 0 to
|
||
disable this feature. The settings to use in windowed and fullscreen mode
|
||
are separate because there should be no reason to disable this for
|
||
fullscreen mode (as the driver issue should not affect the video itself).
|
||
|
||
You can queue more frames ahead by increasing the queuetime values and the
|
||
``output_surfaces`` count (to ensure enough surfaces to buffer video for a
|
||
certain time ahead you need at least as many surfaces as the video has
|
||
frames during that time, plus two). This could help make video smoother in
|
||
some cases. The main downsides are increased video RAM requirements for
|
||
the surfaces and laggier display response to user commands (display
|
||
changes only become visible some time after they're queued). The graphics
|
||
driver implementation may also have limits on the length of maximum
|
||
queuing time or number of queued surfaces that work well or at all.
|
||
|
||
``direct3d_shaders`` (Windows only)
|
||
Video output driver that uses the Direct3D interface.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This driver is for compatibility with systems that don't provide
|
||
proper OpenGL drivers.
|
||
|
||
``prefer-stretchrect``
|
||
Use ``IDirect3DDevice9::StretchRect`` over other methods if possible.
|
||
|
||
``disable-stretchrect``
|
||
Never render the video using ``IDirect3DDevice9::StretchRect``.
|
||
|
||
``disable-textures``
|
||
Never render the video using D3D texture rendering. Rendering with
|
||
textures + shader will still be allowed. Add ``disable-shaders`` to
|
||
completely disable video rendering with textures.
|
||
|
||
``disable-shaders``
|
||
Never use shaders when rendering video.
|
||
|
||
``only-8bit``
|
||
Never render YUV video with more than 8 bits per component.
|
||
Using this flag will force software conversion to 8-bit.
|
||
|
||
``disable-texture-align``
|
||
Normally texture sizes are always aligned to 16. With this option
|
||
enabled, the video texture will always have exactly the same size as
|
||
the video itself.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Debug options. These might be incorrect, might be removed in the future,
|
||
might crash, might cause slow downs, etc. Contact the developers if you
|
||
actually need any of these for performance or proper operation.
|
||
|
||
``force-power-of-2``
|
||
Always force textures to power of 2, even if the device reports
|
||
non-power-of-2 texture sizes as supported.
|
||
|
||
``texture-memory=<mode>``
|
||
Only affects operation with shaders/texturing enabled, and (E)OSD.
|
||
Possible values:
|
||
|
||
``default`` (default)
|
||
Use ``D3DPOOL_DEFAULT``, with a ``D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM`` texture for
|
||
locking. If the driver supports ``D3DDEVCAPS_TEXTURESYSTEMMEMORY``,
|
||
``D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM`` is used directly.
|
||
|
||
``default-pool``
|
||
Use ``D3DPOOL_DEFAULT``. (Like ``default``, but never use a
|
||
shadow-texture.)
|
||
|
||
``default-pool-shadow``
|
||
Use ``D3DPOOL_DEFAULT``, with a ``D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM`` texture for
|
||
locking. (Like ``default``, but always force the shadow-texture.)
|
||
|
||
``managed``
|
||
Use ``D3DPOOL_MANAGED``.
|
||
|
||
``scratch``
|
||
Use ``D3DPOOL_SCRATCH``, with a ``D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM`` texture for
|
||
locking.
|
||
|
||
``swap-discard``
|
||
Use ``D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD``, which might be faster.
|
||
Might be slower too, as it must(?) clear every frame.
|
||
|
||
``exact-backbuffer``
|
||
Always resize the backbuffer to window size.
|
||
|
||
``direct3d`` (Windows only)
|
||
Same as ``direct3d_shaders``, but with the options ``disable-textures``
|
||
and ``disable-shaders`` forced.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This driver is for compatibility with old systems.
|
||
|
||
``opengl``
|
||
OpenGL video output driver. It supports extended scaling methods, dithering
|
||
and color management.
|
||
|
||
By default, it tries to use fast and fail-safe settings. Use the alias
|
||
``opengl-hq`` to use this driver with defaults set to high quality
|
||
rendering.
|
||
|
||
Requires at least OpenGL 2.1.
|
||
|
||
Some features are available with OpenGL 3 capable graphics drivers only
|
||
(or if the necessary extensions are available).
|
||
|
||
OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 are supported as well.
|
||
|
||
Hardware decoding over OpenGL-interop is supported to some degree. Note
|
||
that in this mode, some corner case might not be gracefully handled, and
|
||
color space conversion and chroma upsampling is generally in the hand of
|
||
the hardware decoder APIs.
|
||
|
||
``scale=<filter>``
|
||
|
||
``bilinear``
|
||
Bilinear hardware texture filtering (fastest, very low quality).
|
||
This is the default for compatibility reasons.
|
||
|
||
``spline36``
|
||
Mid quality and speed. This is the default when using ``opengl-hq``.
|
||
|
||
``lanczos``
|
||
Lanczos scaling. Provides mid quality and speed. Generally worse
|
||
than ``spline36``, but it results in a slightly sharper image
|
||
which is good for some content types. The number of taps can be
|
||
controlled with ``scale-radius``, but is best left unchanged.
|
||
|
||
This filter corresponds to the old ``lanczos3`` alias if the default
|
||
radius is used, while ``lanczos2`` corresponds to a radius of 2.
|
||
|
||
``ewa_lanczos``
|
||
Elliptic weighted average Lanczos scaling. Also known as Jinc.
|
||
Relatively slow, but very good quality. The number of taps can
|
||
be controlled with ``scale-radius``. Adding extra taps makes the
|
||
filter sharper but adds more ringing.
|
||
|
||
This filter supports antiringing (see ``scale-antiring``).
|
||
|
||
``mitchell``
|
||
Mitchell-Netravali. The ``b`` and ``c`` parameters can be set with
|
||
``scale-param1`` and ``scale-param2``. Both are set to 1/3 by default.
|
||
This filter is very good at downscaling (see ``scale-down``).
|
||
|
||
There are some more filters, but most are not as useful. For a complete
|
||
list, pass ``help`` as value, e.g.::
|
||
|
||
mpv --vo=opengl:scale=help
|
||
|
||
``scale-param1=<value>``
|
||
Set filter parameters. Ignored if the filter is not tunable. These are
|
||
unset by default, and use the filter specific default if applicable.
|
||
|
||
``scale-param2=<value>``
|
||
See ``scale-param1``.
|
||
|
||
``scale-radius=<r>``
|
||
Set radius for filters listed below, must be a float number between 1.0
|
||
and 16.0. Defaults to be 3.0 if not specified.
|
||
|
||
``sinc``, ``lanczos``, ``ewa_lanczos``, ``blackman``, ``gaussian``
|
||
|
||
Note that depending on filter implementation details and video scaling
|
||
ratio, the radius that actually being used might be different
|
||
(most likely being increased a bit).
|
||
|
||
``scale-antiring=<value>``
|
||
Set the antiringing strength. This tries to eliminate ringing, but can
|
||
introduce other artifacts in the process. Must be a float number
|
||
between 0.0 and 1.0. The default value of 0.0 disables antiringing
|
||
entirely.
|
||
|
||
Note that this currently only affects ``ewa_lanczos``.
|
||
|
||
``scaler-resizes-only``
|
||
Disable the scaler if the video image is not resized. In that case,
|
||
``bilinear`` is used instead whatever is set with ``scale``. Bilinear
|
||
will reproduce the source image perfectly if no scaling is performed.
|
||
Note that this option never affects ``cscale``.
|
||
|
||
``srgb``
|
||
Convert and color correct the output to sRGB before displaying it on
|
||
the screen. This option enables linear light scaling.
|
||
|
||
This option is equivalent to using ``icc-profile`` with an sRGB ICC
|
||
profile, but it is implemented without a 3DLUT and does not require
|
||
LittleCMS 2. If both ``srgb`` and ``icc-profile`` are present, the
|
||
latter takes precedence, as they are somewhat redundant.
|
||
|
||
Note: When playing back BT.2020 content with this option enabled, out
|
||
of gamut colors will be numerically clipped, which can potentially
|
||
change the hue and/or luminance. If this is not desired, it is
|
||
recommended to use ``icc-profile`` with an sRGB ICC profile instead,
|
||
when playing back wide-gamut BT.2020 content.
|
||
|
||
``pbo``
|
||
Enable use of PBOs. This is slightly faster, but can sometimes lead to
|
||
sporadic and temporary image corruption (in theory, because reupload
|
||
is not retried when it fails), and perhaps actually triggers slower
|
||
paths with drivers that don't support PBOs properly.
|
||
|
||
``dither-depth=<N|no|auto>``
|
||
Set dither target depth to N. Default: no.
|
||
|
||
no
|
||
Disable any dithering done by mpv.
|
||
auto
|
||
Automatic selection. If output bit depth cannot be detected,
|
||
8 bits per component are assumed.
|
||
8
|
||
Dither to 8 bit output.
|
||
|
||
Note that the depth of the connected video display device can not be
|
||
detected. Often, LCD panels will do dithering on their own, which
|
||
conflicts with ``opengl``'s dithering and leads to ugly output.
|
||
|
||
``dither-size-fruit=<2-8>``
|
||
Set the size of the dither matrix (default: 6). The actual size of
|
||
the matrix is ``(2^N) x (2^N)`` for an option value of ``N``, so a
|
||
value of 6 gives a size of 64x64. The matrix is generated at startup
|
||
time, and a large matrix can take rather long to compute (seconds).
|
||
|
||
Used in ``dither=fruit`` mode only.
|
||
|
||
``dither=<fruit|ordered|no>``
|
||
Select dithering algorithm (default: fruit). (Normally, the
|
||
``dither-depth`` option controls whether dithering is enabled.)
|
||
|
||
``temporal-dither``
|
||
Enable temporal dithering. (Only active if dithering is enabled in
|
||
general.) This changes between 8 different dithering pattern on each
|
||
frame by changing the orientation of the tiled dithering matrix.
|
||
Unfortunately, this can lead to flicker on LCD displays, since these
|
||
have a high reaction time.
|
||
|
||
``debug``
|
||
Check for OpenGL errors, i.e. call ``glGetError()``. Also request a
|
||
debug OpenGL context (which does nothing with current graphics drivers
|
||
as of this writing).
|
||
|
||
``swapinterval=<n>``
|
||
Interval in displayed frames between two buffer swaps.
|
||
1 is equivalent to enable VSYNC, 0 to disable VSYNC.
|
||
|
||
``cscale=<filter>``
|
||
As ``scale``, but for interpolating chroma information. If the image
|
||
is not subsampled, this option is ignored entirely. Note that the
|
||
implementation is currently always done as a single pass, so using
|
||
it with separable filters will result in slow performance for very
|
||
little visible benefit.
|
||
|
||
``scale-down=<filter>``
|
||
Like ``scale``, but apply these filters on downscaling instead. If this
|
||
option is unset, the filter implied by ``scale`` will be applied.
|
||
|
||
``cscale-param1``, ``cscale-param2``, ``cscale-radius``, ``cscale-antiring``
|
||
Set filter parameters and radius for ``cscale``.
|
||
|
||
See ``scale-param1``, ``scale-param2``, ``scale-radius`` and
|
||
``scale-antiring``.
|
||
|
||
``fancy-downscaling``
|
||
When using convolution based filters, extend the filter size
|
||
when downscaling. Trades quality for reduced downscaling performance.
|
||
|
||
This is automatically disabled for anamorphic video, because this
|
||
feature doesn't work correctly with different scale factors in
|
||
different directions.
|
||
|
||
``sigmoid-upscaling``
|
||
When upscaling in linear light, use a sigmoidal color transform
|
||
to avoid emphasizing ringing artifacts.
|
||
|
||
``sigmoid-center``
|
||
The center of the sigmoid curve used for ``sigmoid-upscaling``, must
|
||
be a float between 0.0 and 1.0. Defaults to 0.75 if not specified.
|
||
|
||
``sigmoid-slope``
|
||
The slope of the sigmoid curve used for ``sigmoid-upscaling``, must
|
||
be a float between 1.0 and 20.0. Defaults to 6.5 if not specified.
|
||
|
||
``no-npot``
|
||
Force use of power-of-2 texture sizes. For debugging only.
|
||
Borders will be distorted due to filtering.
|
||
|
||
``glfinish``
|
||
Call ``glFinish()`` before and after swapping buffers (default: disabled).
|
||
Slower, but might help getting better results when doing framedropping.
|
||
Can completely ruin performance. The details depend entirely on the
|
||
OpenGL driver.
|
||
|
||
``waitvsync``
|
||
Call ``glXWaitVideoSyncSGI`` after each buffer swap (default: disabled).
|
||
This may or may not help with video timing accuracy and frame drop. It's
|
||
possible that this makes video output slower, or has no effect at all.
|
||
|
||
X11/GLX only.
|
||
|
||
``sw``
|
||
Continue even if a software renderer is detected.
|
||
|
||
``backend=<sys>``
|
||
The value ``auto`` (the default) selects the windowing backend. You

x11egl, x11egles
|
||
X11/EGL (the ``es`` variant forces GLES)
|
||
|
||
``fbo-format=<fmt>``
|
||
Selects the internal format of textures used for FBOs. The format can
|
||
influence performance and quality of the video output. (FBOs are not
|
||
always used, and typically only when using extended scalers.)
|
||
``fmt`` can be one of: rgb, rgba, rgb8, rgb10, rgb10_a2, rgb16, rgb16f,
|
||
rgb32f, rgba12, rgba16, rgba16f, rgba32f.
|
||
Default: rgba.
|
||
|
||
``gamma=<0.0..10.0>``
|
||
Set a gamma value. If gamma is adjusted in other ways (like with
|
||
the ``--gamma`` option or key bindings and the ``gamma`` property), the
|
||
value is multiplied with the other gamma value.
|
||
|
||
Setting this value to 1.0 can be used to always enable gamma control.
|
||
(Disables delayed enabling.)
|
||
|
||
``icc-profile=<file>``
|
||
Load an ICC profile and use it to transform linear RGB to screen output.
|
||
Needs LittleCMS 2 support compiled in. This option overrides the ``srgb``
|
||
property, as using both is somewhat redundant. It also enables linear
|
||
light scaling.
|
||
|
||
|
||
``icc-profile-auto``
|
||
Automatically select the ICC display profile currently specified by
|
||
the display settings of the operating system.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: Only implemented on OS X and X11
|
||
|
||
``icc-cache=<file>``
|
||
Store and load the 3D LUT created from the ICC profile in this file.
|
||
This can be used to speed up loading, since LittleCMS 2 can take a while
|
||
to create the 3D LUT. Note that this file contains an uncompressed LUT.
|
||
Its size depends on the ``3dlut-size``, and can be very big.
|
||
|
||
``icc-intent=<value>``
|
||
Specifies the ICC Intent used for transformations between color spaces.
|
||
This affects the rendering when using ``icc-profile`` or ``srgb`` and
|
||
also affects the way DCP XYZ content gets converted to RGB.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
``3dlut-size=<r>x<g>x<b>``
|
||
Size of the 3D LUT generated from the ICC profile in each dimension.
|
||
Default is 128x256x64.
|
||
Sizes must be a power of two, and 512 at most.
|
||
|
||
``alpha=<blend|yes|no>``
|
||
Decides what to do if the input has an alpha component (default: blend).
|
||
|
||
blend
|
||
Blend the frame against a black background.
|
||
yes
|
||
Try to create a framebuffer with alpha component. This only makes sense
|
||
if the video contains alpha information (which is extremely rare). May
|
||
not be supported on all platforms. If alpha framebuffers are
|
||
unavailable, it silently falls back on a normal framebuffer. Note
|
||
that if you set the ``fbo-format`` option to a non-default value,
|
||
a format with alpha must be specified, or this won't work.
|
||
no
|
||
Ignore alpha component.
|
||
|
||
``chroma-location=<auto|center|left>``
|
||
Set the YUV chroma sample location. auto means use the bitstream
|
||
flags (default: auto).
|
||
|
||
``rectangle-textures``
|
||
Force use of rectangle textures (default: no). Normally this shouldn't
|
||
have any advantages over normal textures. Note that hardware decoding
|
||
overrides this flag.
|
||
|
||
``background=<color>``
|
||
Color used to draw parts of the mpv window not covered by video.
|
||
See ``--osd-color`` option how colors are defined.
|
||
|
||
``smoothmotion``
|
||
Use frame interpolation to reduce stuttering caused by mismatches in
|
||
video fps and display refresh rate (similar to MadVR's smoothmotion,
|
||
thus the naming). GPU drivers or compositing window managers overriding
|
||
vsync behavior can lead to bad results. If the framerate is close to or
|
||
over the display refresh rate, results can be bad as well.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: On systems other than Linux, you currently must set the
|
||
``--display-fps`` option, or the results will be bad.
|
||
|
||
``smoothmotion-threshold=<0.0-1.0>``
|
||
Mix threshold at which interpolation is skipped (default: 0.0 – never
|
||
skip).
|
||
|
||
``opengl-hq``
|
||
Same as ``opengl``, but with default settings for high quality rendering.
|
||
|
||
This is equivalent to::
|
||
|
||
--vo=opengl:scale=spline36:scale-down=mitchell:dither-depth=auto:fbo-format=rgba16:fancy-downscaling:sigmoid-upscaling
|
||
|
||
Note that some cheaper LCDs do dithering that gravely interferes with
|
||
``opengl``'s dithering. Disabling dithering with ``dither-depth=no`` helps.
|
||
|
||
Unlike ``opengl``, ``opengl-hq`` makes use of FBOs by default. Sometimes you
|
||
can achieve better quality or performance by changing the ``fbo-format``
|
||
suboption to ``rgb16f``, ``rgb32f`` or ``rgb``. Known problems include
|
||
Mesa/Intel not accepting ``rgb16``, Mesa sometimes not being compiled with
|
||
float texture support, and some OS X setups being very slow with ``rgb16``
|
||
but fast with ``rgb32f``.
|
||
|
||
``sdl``
|
||
SDL 2.0+ Render video output driver, depending on system with or without
|
||
hardware acceleration. Should work on all platforms supported by SDL 2.0.
|
||
For tuning, refer to your copy of the file ``SDL_hints.h``.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This driver is for compatibility with systems that don't provide
|
||
proper graphics drivers, or which support GLES only.
|
||
|
||
``sw``
|
||
Continue even if a software renderer is detected.
|
||
|
||
``switch-mode``
|
||
Instruct SDL to switch the monitor video mode when going fullscreen.
|
||
|
||
``vaapi``
|
||
Intel VA API video output driver with support for hardware decoding. Note
|
||
that there is absolutely no reason to use this, other than wanting to use
|
||
hardware decoding to save power on laptops, or possibly preventing video
|
||
tearing with some setups.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This driver is for compatibility with crappy systems. You can
|
||
use vaapi hardware decoding with ``--vo=opengl`` too.
|
||
|
||
``scaling=<algorithm>``
|
||
default
|
||
Driver default (mpv default as well).
|
||
fast
|
||
Fast, but low quality.
|
||
hq
|
||
Unspecified driver dependent high-quality scaling, slow.
|
||
nla
|
||
``non-linear anamorphic scaling``
|
||
|
||
``deint-mode=<mode>``
|
||
Select deinterlacing algorithm. Note that by default deinterlacing is
|
||
initially always off, and needs to be enabled with the ``D`` key
|
||
(default key binding for ``cycle deinterlace``).
|
||
|
||
This option doesn't apply if libva supports video post processing (vpp).
|
||
In this case, the default for ``deint-mode`` is ``no``, and enabling
|
||
deinterlacing via user interaction using the methods mentioned above
|
||
actually inserts the ``vavpp`` video filter. If vpp is not actually
|
||
supported with the libva backend in use, you can use this option to
|
||
forcibly enable VO based deinterlacing.
|
||
|
||
no
|
||
Don't allow deinterlacing (default for newer libva).
|
||
first-field
|
||
Show only first field (going by ``--field-dominance``).
|
||
bob
|
||
bob deinterlacing (default for older libva).
|
||
|
||
``scaled-osd=<yes|no>``
|
||
If enabled, then the OSD is rendered at video resolution and scaled to
|
||
display resolution. By default, this is disabled, and the OSD is
|
||
rendered at display resolution if the driver supports it.
|
||
|
||
``null``
|
||
Produces no video output. Useful for benchmarking.
|
||
|
||
``caca``
|
||
Color ASCII art video output driver that works on a text console.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This driver is a joke.
|
||
|
||
``image``
|
||
Output each frame into an image file in the current directory. Each file
|
||
takes the frame number padded with leading zeros as name.
|
||
|
||
``format=<format>``
|
||
Select the image file format.
|
||
|
||
jpg
|
||
JPEG files, extension .jpg. (Default.)
|
||
jpeg
|
||
JPEG files, extension .jpeg.
|
||
png
|
||
PNG files.
|
||
ppm
|
||
Portable bitmap format.
|
||
pgm
|
||
Portable graymap format.
|
||
pgmyuv
|
||
Portable graymap format, using the YV12 pixel format.
|
||
tga
|
||
Truevision TGA.
|
||
|
||
``png-compression=<0-9>``
|
||
PNG compression factor (speed vs. file size tradeoff) (default: 7)
|
||
``png-filter=<0-5>``
|
||
Filter applied prior to PNG compression (0 = none; 1 = sub; 2 = up;
|
||
3 = average; 4 = Paeth; 5 = mixed) (default: 5)
|
||
``jpeg-quality=<0-100>``
|
||
JPEG quality factor (default: 90)
|
||
``(no-)jpeg-progressive``
|
||
Specify standard or progressive JPEG (default: no).
|
||
``(no-)jpeg-baseline``
|
||
Specify use of JPEG baseline or not (default: yes).
|
||
``jpeg-optimize=<0-100>``
|
||
JPEG optimization factor (default: 100)
|
||
``jpeg-smooth=<0-100>``
|
||
smooth factor (default: 0)
|
||
``jpeg-dpi=<1->``
|
||
JPEG DPI (default: 72)
|
||
``outdir=<dirname>``
|
||
Specify the directory to save the image files to (default: ``./``).
|
||
|
||
``wayland`` (Wayland only)
|
||
Wayland shared memory video output as fallback for ``opengl``.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: This driver is for compatibility with systems that don't provide
|
||
working OpenGL drivers.
|
||
|
||
``alpha``
|
||
Use a buffer format that supports videos and images with alpha
|
||
information
|
||
``rgb565``
|
||
Use RGB565 as buffer format. This format is implemented on most
|
||
platforms, especially on embedded where it is far more efficient then
|
||
RGB8888.
|
||
``triple-buffering``
|
||
Use 3 buffers instead of 2. This can lead to more fluid playback, but
|
||
uses more memory.
|
||
|
||
``opengl-cb``
|
||
For use with libmpv direct OpenGL embedding; useless in any other contexts.
|
||
(See ``<mpv/opengl_cb.h>``.)
|
||
Usually, ``opengl-cb`` renders frames asynchronously by client and this
|
||
can cause some frame drops. In order to provide a way to handle this
|
||
situation, ``opengl-cb`` has its own frame queue and calls update callback
|
||
more frequently if the queue is not empty regardless of existence of new frame.
|
||
Once the queue is filled, ``opengl-cb`` drops frames automatically.
|
||
|
||
With default options, ``opengl-cb`` renders only the latest frame and drops
|
||
all frames handed over while waiting render function after update callback.
|
||
|
||
``frame-queue-size=<1..100>``
|
||
The maximum count of frames which the frame queue can hold (default: 1)
|
||
|
||
``frame-drop-mode=<pop|clear>``
|
||
Select the behavior when the frame queue is full.
|
||
|
||
pop
|
||
Drop the oldest frame in the frame queue. (default)
|
||
clear
|
||
Drop all frames in the frame queue.
|
||
|
||
This also supports many of the suboptions the ``opengl`` VO has. Runs
|
||
``mpv --vo=opengl-cb:help`` for a list.
|
||
|
||
This also supports the ``vo_cmdline`` command.
