I've been trying to find webdav plugin for mpv, so I can access my media folder and stream video directly. Potplayer and even VLC have this.. Any solution would appreciated thanks.
Just wanted to share something i've been working on for a long time now. If you guys watch a lot of high-quality stuff on Android, you probably know that most players are either full of ads or they just feel... heavy? Like, too many dead taps and weird lag.
So i forked mpvExtended and made mpvRx. I really wanted to focus on the "feel" of the player. It’s based on libmpv so it plays literally everything you throw at it, but i pushed it way harder on the details.
Some cool stuff i added:
HDR Mode : I integrated the hdr-toys shader suite. So if you have a nice screen, you get proper BT.2100 PQ/HLG and BT.2020 support. It looks sharp for real.
JavaScript Support: Added a script editor and JS support so you can actually customize how it behaves.
Faster browsing: Fixed a lot of the friction in the UI, better thumbnail extraction, and it handles resuming files much better now.
AI Integartion : With addition of Realtime Ai based Subtitle Generation from Audio, Subtitle Translation to any Language , Ai Renaming of Files , also supports bulk Rename , Ai based Subtitle Finder and auto loader.
And Many more Additions i cant list all u can see CHANGELOG.md
It’s totally open source. I just released v1.3.6 and honestly, i just want people who care about playback quality to try it out. If it breaks or feels off, please tell me.
Check it out here: https://github.com/Riteshp2001/mpvRx
Let me know what u think! If u like it, maybe drop a star or something, it helps a lot. Cheers!
I've been struggling with this issue for a while now, whenever I run mpv (fullscreen or not) on my other two monitors I always get an insane amount of mistimed/delayed frames, this never happens when I move mpv back to my main monitor.
I've tried every mpv.conf possibility, from online sources and chatgpt, and nothing seems to ever fix it. I've gone as far as even adjusting all my monitors to be on the same refresh rate and still nothing works. My main monitor runs at 165 HZ while the other two are at 60.
Here's what it looks like:
Here's my current mpv.conf
osd-margin-y=50
vo=gpu-next
gpu-api=d3d11
video-sync=display-resample
tscale=oversample
gpu-max-queue-size=2
screen=3
If anyone has any solution or idea on how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. the amount of mistimed/delayed frames make watching any content on my other monitors almost unbearable from how laggy it looks.
i have a qd oled monitor
Dev here, since the last time I posted here in r/mpv, our mpvRex app has received lots of improvements and we've added some cool new features to the player. I'll highlight some of them so you can quickly read through them.
The new shorts player lets you watch vertical and short videos exactly like YouTube Shorts.
You can like or block specific shorts for a better experience.
Now you can show audio files in the player browser and play them directly in the existing video player.
This is often better for long podcasts that you don't want to listen to in a traditional audio player.
Player UI buttons can now use your theme colors, giving the player a much more visually consistent experience.
Now you can make the player simpler and cleaner by removing less frequently used buttons from the main player UI while still keeping them accessible from the three-dot menu.
Background playback received major improvements.
Now the app stops the video stream when switching to background playback, which helps save battery.
Also, that ~1 second playback interruption during background switching is now gone, making the transition much more seamless.
The app UI is now much more visually unified and polished. It's something you not only see, but also feel across every screen.
There are also many more quality-of-life improvements and fixes across the app that I'm not mentioning here. You can check the full release notes if you're interested.
videos , pacific rim , sourced from ahm ahm websites, anime by Netflix, i can send a file if anyone wants to test it. not now though
S01 , E01 was working fine on pot player. Recently copied rest of the episodes to PC from HDD, suddenly audio issues and lagging when seeking or pause and play! The audio goes mute and random places for no known reason, some places r repeating.
I thought episode encoding issues
then checked episode 1 which used to work fine but even that is not working on the same player! Even VLC can' seem to work either. But as I am guy who has players installed, MPV works fine. But my issue is MPV UI feels limited , whether HW on or not who knows!
Still would like to know if anyone suddenly faced this issue. I don't remember updating recently, so I can't say if it is an Update!
shut down , restart, uninstall reinstall, both pot player and VLC, were done!
EDIT : as per suggestions , checked disk DISM etc done. Reinstalled MPC-HC or other players. other videos which r smaller do not have issues, only these ones and other larger ones! And the MPV player works!
I am not much of a tech guy, i just used a general mpv.conf for windows. now that i am using cachyos on my laptop, the audio kinda sounds bad, especially when i raise the volume above 100.
my windows mpv.conf was this:
# Increase max volume to 200%
volume-max=200
# Enable hardware decoding
hwdec=auto
# Optional: default volume level
volume=100
# Optional: disable on-screen controller (UI buttons)
# osc=no
# Smoother audio during speed changes
audio-pitch-correction=yes
save-position-on-quit=yes
audio-channels=auto
vo=gpu-next
gpu-api=d3d11
hwdec=nvdec
tone-mapping=bt.2390
hdr-compute-peak=yes
target-colorspace-hint=no
video-sync=display-resample
interpolation=yes
tscale=oversample
profile=gpu-hq
and current cachyos mpv.conf is this (I used ai to port the windows conf to linux since i don't know much):
# --- General Settings (Same as Windows) ---
volume-max=200
volume=100
save-position-on-quit=yes
audio-pitch-correction=yes
audio-channels=auto
loop-playlist=inf
# --- Linux/CachyOS Specific Graphics & HWDEC ---
vo=gpu-next
# Use vulkan for the best performance on modern Linux/Wayland
gpu-api=opengl
# For NVIDIA on Linux, 'nvdec' is still the preferred hardware decoder
hwdec=nvdec
# --- High Quality & Sync Settings ---
# 'gpu-hq' is now an alias for 'high-quality'; using the modern name is better
profile=high-quality
video-sync=display-resample
interpolation=yes
tscale=oversample
# --- Tone Mapping (Modernized for gpu-next) ---
# gpu-next handles HDR/Tone-mapping more intelligently; bt.2390 is still valid
tone-mapping=bt.2390
hdr-compute-peak=yes
# --- ModernZ Specific ---
# Since you're installing ModernZ, ensure the default OSC is disabled
osc=no
save-position-on-quit=yes
watch-later-options=start
how do i fix the audio and make it sound good. it sounds distorted and bad currently in linux but the windows sound smooth and good.
mpv is staying open after finishing a file. This behavior started today. I verified keep-open=yes was not in the .conf file. I also tried putting keep-open=no and it still stays open. I am running the latest build according to the updater script. --version does not print anything which could just be a windows limitation.

I'm not a very tech savvy person. I just asked chatgpt and gemini how to best utilize hdr on my wqxga oled. they both said mpv player. gemini gave me a few configurations to put in a .conf file. now compared to vlc the hdr is really something. but the problem is the video is stuttering. I tried troubleshooting it with gemini and it gave me different scripts, the stutter would improve somewhat but still the playback is not as good as vlc.
this is whats currently in my .conf file
# ====== Core Presentation Engine ======
vo=gpu-next
gpu-api=d3d11
hwdec=d3d11va
# ====== The Ultimate Hybrid/VRR Stutter Fix ======
video-sync=audio
interpolation=no
d3d11-exclusive-fullscreen=no
d3d11-flip=yes
# ====== Perfect OLED Colors ======
target-colorspace-hint=yes
dither-depth=auto
# ====== UI Control ======
keep-open=yes
save-position-on-quit=yes
autofit=70%
I don't know what these lines mean. is there a way to improve the playback?
Which scaler looks better for 480p anime, like Dragon Ball, in your opinion?
