r/mpv

Hey everyone,

I've just started writing my mpv config, and I'm a bit confused on how I can set an auto profile for all audio files (.flac, .m4a, .mp3, .wav, etc).

The docs say that I technically can use legacy auto profiles and set [extension.flac], but the docs say it's not recommended because it's deprecated.

When playing an audio file, the output says there's an image (video?) stream containing the cover art and an audio stream:
● Image --vid=1 (mjpeg 1200x1200)

● Audio --aid=1 (flac 2ch 96000 Hz)

Is there a way I can automatically set this up so I don't have to manually set --no-audio-display every time? I'd really appreciate it!

I'm coming from Windows and MPC so fairly familiar with this stuff. But the MPV Config is fairly daunting. Especially how HDR support on Linux isn't as streamlined as Windows. I have a G3 OLED and will be playing high quality bluerays and also older television shows - what's a good MPV config to try? Thank you kindly for the help.

Hi, noob question but i updated my mpv player recently (i use a fork called mpv.net) and i can no longer use the + and - buttons to control volume. Pressing shift and = to input a + from the main keyboard still works and so does the - on the main keyboard, but just not the ones on the side of the numpad. Is there some setting i need to change? Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm leaning about mpv-android and thinking about creating a video player on top of that.Do my app needs to be open source or not?

Any clarification will be helpful.

trying to figure out how to get all my videos to sound somewhat consistent volume-wise. i have tried the audio filters but they all change the volume dynamically and i don't want that. i have videos of tape transfers and the background hiss gets amplified really loud until music plays/someone speaks. is there a way around this in mpv?

When a video finishes, I am seeing the black window with "Drop files or URLs to play here.". Previously it would just close/disappear - like when quitting/pressing Q.

Is there a way to disable this behavior? Suggestions online say to clear the OSC but I need the OSC for playback controls...

I want to play a series of audio/video files in mpv with loudness normalization applied across the entire playlist. I need the files to sound at a consistent volume relative to each other, but I want to avoid dynamic range compression or volume changes within each individual file. I feel like most people go for the dynamic route because it's useful for movies with explosions, quiet parts with people speaking etc but I need this for music; my library of offline files has volume all over the place, and at the same time I hate the pumping/breathing effect typical of dynamic normalization.

Hello,

i'm trying to set up a dynamic range compression filter to avoid constantly adjusting the volume (dialogues too quiet, action scenes aoo loud, and some high-pitched voices spike the volume unexpectedly). I'm not trying to boost dialogues specifically.

I just want to even out the dynamic range so everything stays at a comfortable level without having to touch the volume controller constantly.

I have currently this on my mpv.conf :

af=lavfi=[acompressor=ratio=4:attack=40:release=3000,loudnorm=I=-18]

is this good ?

will this filter work with different audio quality ? (6 channels, 2 channels) ?

thank you !!
