# MPV - mpv.conf
# classicjazz - 2022-04-19

# Details about configuring MPV for high quality video are covered here: https://freetime.mikeconnelly.com/archives/5371
# The latest version of this file is located here: https://github.com/classicjazz/mpv-config

# All MPV options are covered here: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/options.rst
# All of my upscaling calculations assume a native 4K resolution display
# Additionally, my target displays all support HDR, so tone-mapping for SDR is not necessary

# I am slowly incorporating changes anticipating using vo=gpu-next in the future
# https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/GPU-Next-vs-GPU

# This config file assumes that you are using a version of MPV that supports Conditional Profiles (i.e. auto-profiles.lau is no longer required). Tested with mpv v0.34.1

 profile=gpu-hq # used for any other OS on modern hardware

# Selected API: select either Vulkan (preferred) or OpenGL
# Note: MacOS devices are currently limited to OpenGL v4.1 (which is deprecated). For iOS/tvOS/MacOS devices, Metal v2 would be preferred but there is not currently a Metal backend. In the future, a workaround may be to use mpv + libplacebo + MoltenVK

# In MPV, chroma is upscaled to luma resolution (video size) and then the converted RGB is upscaled to target resolution (screen size)
