  • Anyone on windows not able to use the mpv-quality-menu script for youtube?
    2 projects | /r/mpv | 18 May 2023
    Every other script has dropped in and works instantly other than this one, no matter what I do the menu never loadsm or gives any indication of loading. The old, outdated youtube quality script loads, but presumably because of changes to youtube it fails fetching the list of formats. The menu does still show up.

    Hello, i got this script (https://github.com/jgreco/mpv-youtube-quality) and it was working with youtube-dl but youtube-dl was buffering a lot so i changed to yt-dlp, yt-dlp doesn't buffer at all but the script to control the quality of the video does not work!
  • Help with Streaming through Celluloid Media Player.
    4 projects | /r/linuxmint | 7 Sep 2021
    Only way I can think of would be to use a MPV plugin like https://github.com/jgreco/mpv-youtube-quality. Only problem is, I don't think I know how to properly install MPV Plugins in Celluloid, because past attempts have done nothing. I tried using the Preferences dialog to add plugins, I check them, they're technically "installed" as far as Celluloid seems to be concerned, but they do nothing.

  • mpv.conf "not needed, only here to overwrite repo installed file which enabled vaapi by default "
    2 projects | /r/mpv | 11 May 2021
    Inside the mpv.conf, it reads: "#not needed, only here to overwrite repo installed file which enabled vaapi by default". What does this mean? It is also a read-only file. Why is it "not needed" and why can't I write anything inside it? I wanted to try some scripts like: https://github.com/jgreco/mpv-youtube-quality or https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script which need mpv.conf to be modified. Any help? Thank you.
  • Could someone add cookies to this script? mpv
    1 project | /r/mpv | 11 Mar 2021
    I want to ask if someone can add yt-dl cookies option and also to add format code name to this Script. cuz for premium contents on streaming sites requires a cookie.txt otherwise yt-dl fails to fetching formats so I did want to ask since Im noob if someone else could add this feature to the script.

    2 projects | /r/anime | 13 Feb 2023
    After that, I've found the best tool for making clips is to open the videos in MPV with the mpv-webm addon installed.
