Overview

Configuration files and scripts I use for mpv, tailored to a generally minimal and straightforward use case.

Notes

• Using profile=high-quality
  • Use with a capable dedicated GPU, otherwise use profile=fast or no profile (default)
  • You can view profile details with mpv --show-profile=high-quality
• Hardware decoding enabled
  • Using gpu-api=d3d11 and hwdec=d3d11va (Nvidia GPU, Windows)
  • Using gpu-api=vulkan and hwdec=nvdec (Nvidia GPU)
    • Slow startup with Vulkan+Nvidia: mpv-player/mpv#13019
• Default keybinds are disabled: input-default-bindings=no
  • Custom keybinds are set in input.conf
• Matroska ordered chapters is disabled: ordered-chapters=no
• [Media] and [Slideshow] auto-profiles are system specific, use as reference or adjust
• Some options are Windows OS specific, in use or value
  • sub-file-paths (separator) [details]
  • taskbar-progress [details]

Important

mpv v0.39 or newer is required due to reliance on features like autocreate-playlist, which replaces autoload.lua with native functionality. Please review the files before use to understand their contents.

Configuration

• Main [mpv.conf]
• Key bindings [input.conf]
