User Scripts

User Scripts

Here is a list of scripts that users of mpv have published, adding functionality that is not part of the core mpv player. Most of these scripts are unofficial 3rd party scripts. Anyone can add their own script by editing this wiki. On GitHub mpv scripts are tagged as mpv-script.

Scripts are usually placed in:

OS	Location
GNU/Linux or macOS	~/.config/mpv/scripts/
Windows	C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/mpv/scripts/

  VideoPlayerCode Install-Notes

  • The VideoPlayerCode scripts and modules use options at the dir ~~/script-settings/ (instead of the standard ~~/script-opts/ which is used by the builtin mp.options.read_options).

  • The original installation instructions for the scripts are outdated. To install one of the VideoPlayerCode scripts, e.g. Blackbox.js, do the following:

    • Inside your scripts dir create a dir Blackbox, and into it copy the file Blackbox.js from the original distribution, as well as the directory modules.js (with all the files it contains).
    • Inside the Blackbox dir: rename the file Blackbox.js to main.js, and rename the dir modules.js to modules.

User Shaders

A guide for how to write user shaders can be found here.

• A-Pack
  Shaders pack for quick Adjustment of (web) video: brightness/contrast curves (tooDark, tooBright, bShadows, bDim, etc.) and color (vibrance, skintones, Black&White). Runs on integrated graphics.

• Anime4K
  A series of shaders designed to scale and enhance anime. Includes shaders for line sharpening, artefact removal, denoising, upscaling, and more.

• LumaSharpenHook
  A sharpen filter similar to using Unsharp Mask in Photoshop ported from SweetFX shader pack.

• SSimDownscaler, SSimSuperRes, Krig, Adaptive Sharpen, etc.

  • SSimDownscaler: Perceptually based downscaler.
  • SSimSuperRes: The aim of this shader is to make corrections to the image upscaled by mpv built-in scaler (removes ringing artifacts, restores original sharpness, etc).
  • Krig: Chroma scaler that uses luma information for high quality upscaling.

• Noise
  Simplistic filter that adds a tunable amount of uniform white noise to the output.

• Film Grain v1 and Film Grain v2
  Two configurable shaders for applying gaussian-weighted white noise to the image. v2 is a smoothed version of v1, which uses an extra gaussian blur pass to shift the grain frequency spectrum. Both versions can trivially be adapted to add film grain to other channels besides LUMA by just adding it to the list of hooks.

• Antiringing
  This is an antiringing filter that works by clamping to the local neighbourhood. Sort of inspired by the mpv built-in antiringing algorithm, but it's extended in such a way that it also works well for polar (EWA) filters, which the mpv built-in algorithm does not support at all.

• nnedi3 and ravu
  User shaders for prescaling.

• FSRCNN
  Prescaler based on layered convolutional networks.

• un360
  Converts equirectangular 360 degree video to be watchable, at a fixed perspective.

• acme-0.5x
  Simple 0.5x downscaler for mpv, useful for 4K video playback on FHD screen with iGPU (bypass chroma upscaling and color conversion in 4K resolution).

• Nonlinear stretch
  Non-linear stretch scaling. use with --no-keepaspect.

• lensfix
  Fix radial distortion commonly found in wide angle action cameras.

• hyperview
  Dynamic stretching filter aiming to bring effects similar to GoPro SuperView.

• NLS#
  Tunable bidirectional nonlinear stretching with optional cropping and padding.

• FidelityFX CAS
  AMD FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS) provides a mixed ability to sharpen and optionally scale an image. The algorithm adjusts the amount of sharpening per pixel to target an even level of sharpness across the image. Areas of the input image that are already sharp are sharpened less, while areas that lack detail are sharpened more. This allows for higher overall natural visual sharpness with fewer artifacts.

• FidelityFX FSR
  AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution is a spatial upscaler: it works by taking the current anti-aliased frame and upscaling it to display resolution without relying on other data such as frame history or motion vectors. At the heart of FSR is a cutting-edge algorithm that detects and recreates high-resolution edges from the source image. Those high-resolution edges are a critical element required for turning the current frame into a “super resolution” image. FSR provides consistent upscaling quality regardless of whether the frame is in movement, which can provide quality advantages compared to other types of upscalers.

• NVIDIA Image Scaling
  NVIDIA Image Scaling is a spatial scaling and sharpening algorithm. The scaling algorithm uses a 6-tap scaling filter combined with 4 directional scaling and adaptive sharpening filters, which creates nice smooth images and sharp edges. In addition, an adaptive-directional sharpening-only algorithm is available. The directional scaling and sharpening algorithm is named NVScaler while the adaptive-directional-sharpening-only algorithm is named NVSharpen.

• Post upscale unsharp masking
  This is mpvs original image sharpening algorithm ported into the shader, in order to work only after upscaling is done.

• nlmeans, hdeband, & more

  • nlmeans is a featureful implementation of the Non-local Means algorithm, it does both denoising and adaptive sharpening
  • hdeband is an implementation of a debanding algorithm that blurs homogeneous regions together

• Alt Scale
  An alternative to mpv's built in scaling. It can be slightly faster than built in scaling with equivalent quality.

• Unsharp mask and Gaussian blur
  A 2 pass unsharp mask and a 2 pass gaussian blur. Similar to those in Photoshop, Image Magick, Gimp, etc.

• 2D Image Resampling
  2D Image Resampling is a general resampling algorithm made for experimental / testing use.

• Jinc
  Jinc based image scaling. Similar to mpv's ewa or polar.

• Pixel Clipper
  Simple anti-ringing filter based on pixel clipping/clamping.

• JointBilateral & FastBilateral
  Chroma upsamplers that use the luma plane as a guide to achieve sharper transitions without introducing any ringing.

• Chroma from Luma Prediction
  Chroma upsamplers based on least-squares linear regression.

• ArtCNN
  Luma doublers trained on Manga109.

• CuNNy
  Cute and funny CNN-based upscaler optimized for anime.

• AniSD ArtCNN
  AniSD ArtCNN is for standard definition anime content.

• Ani4K v2 ArtCNN
  Ani4K v2 targets modern anime, from high quality Bluray to crappy WEB releases, for upscaling to either 2K or 4K.

VapourSynth Scripts

• mvtools
  Use MVTools's BlockFPS function to perform motion interpolation on the video in realtime.

• nnedi3
  Use NNEDI3 to double the resolution of the video. This always performs a single doubling. Note that the vapoursynth-nnedi3 filter is so slow that this practically can't be used in realtime, so it's not much use in practice.

• flash3kyuu
  Use flash3kyuu to deband the video, with reasonable (mildly grainy) default settings. Obsolete: mpv now ships with a similar debanding filter as shader.
