How do I mute videos by default in MPV

  • 772

I always use mpv media player to play media files (video/audio).
But I want that "whenever I open a video/audio through MPV, it should be by default mute".
I tried to add cycle mute to the last line of input.conf file.
But it didn't work.

mpv-media-player

  1. You have

    "audio" : "no" or "mute" : 'yes'

    as options. Working with the audio option I experienced several times that it could not be "turned on" again while the video was playing. So try the "mute" option first.

    See here for the documentation.

    Edit configuration file:

    ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf

    And add line:

    mute=yes

    Now each time You start a video it will be muted by default.
