[https://mpv.io/ MPV] is an open-source command line media player known for its high performance, versatility, and minimalist design.While it has a basic GUI, MPV can be paired with a GUI front-end like [[SMPlayer]] (package: smplayer) to offer a user-friendly interface similar to other desktop media players. | |||
MPV supports a wide range of video and audio formats, ensuring extensive compatibility. It features advanced video rendering capabilities, including high-quality scaling algorithms, color management, and HDR support, which contribute to superior video playback quality. MPV leverages hardware-accelerated video decoding through APIs such as VA-API, VDPAU, and DXVA2, improving performance and reducing CPU usage. The player’s minimalist design emphasizes efficiency, offering a streamlined user experience with extensive configurability through command-line options and scripting interfaces. | |||

== Tips and Tricks == | |||
[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/video/mpv/scripts | ==== Where to get scripts ==== | ||
To find more scripts run this in a terminal: <syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> | |||
nix search nixpkgs mpvScripts | |||
</syntaxhighlight>The scripts are also defined in the following [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/video/mpv/scripts Nixpkgs directory]. | |||
==== Where to find override options ==== | |||
The package override options are defined in the following [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/video/mpv/default.nix Nixpkgs directory]. | |||
== Troubleshooting == | |||
==== Error, unknown format ==== | |||
If you get the following sort of error, note that MPV currently uses the small ffmpeg version (ffmpeg_5) instead of the full version (ffmpeg_5-full). | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell"> | |||
$ mpv --log-file=foo.log av://v4l2:/dev/video5 | |||
[lavf] Unknown lavf format v4l2 | |||
Failed to recognize file format. | |||
Exiting... (Errors when loading file) | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
To address this problem, you can use the following package configuration for ffmpeg. | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | <syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | ||
{ | programs.mpv = { | ||
enable = true; | |||
mpv = | package = ( | ||
pkgs.mpv-unwrapped.wrapper { | |||
mpv = pkgs.mpv-unwrapped.override { | |||
ffmpeg = pkgs.ffmpeg-full; | |||
}; | }; | ||
} | } | ||
); | |||
} | }; | ||
