Isn't hwdec enabled by default?

I put that in the config years ago. Maybe it is now, but I used to have to do ctrl-H or whatever it was to do it manually.

>>108394456
>>108394452
Nope, commented that line out and it defaults to software decoding.

What's the point of all these giga turbo astro configs when 90% of movies/anime/anything is barely 1080p with turbo shit bitrate?

>>108394487
Nothing, that's why my config is only three lines to fix shit defaults.

MPV has no real ui, it's just ASS subtitles hacks, it's supposed to be used by keybindings and command line.

Never used mpv in my life, do I just drag the zip and extract it wherever or do I also have to run the .bat?
Also how is this thing as an image viewer? Kinda wanna just use 1 thing for everything.

>>108399025
Are you viewing that original file on a period appropriate monitor? If not then shaders can handle better upscaling than what Mpv does by default. Some people get really autistic with that. I just use ArtCNN and I'm done with it.

>>108394434
I use a flatpak front-end for mpv with default settings :)

>>108406887
Might as well use VLC at that point

>>108406894
VLC has a ugly gui, this one looks nice and fits great with my guhNOME desktop doe.. I really like the flatpak packaging, the simple to use GUI and the default settings, I didn't know you can access the config, that sounds crazy. I just grabbed some comfy 1080p bluray rip minis to watch kino and the quality is so good on my 1440p monitor, its great. The guy who packaged the app must've set the defaults to BIS settings for me

>>108406873

If you have a higher refresh rate monitor I think interpolation looks a lot better, debanding so/so. I don't notice the banding that often, but when I do it is kind of annoying.
