Where does mpv save or log the state when using --save-position-on-quit or Shift+q?
This is used to save the exit state in order for the video to start playing from where it was left off when exiting mpv.
I have managed to set mpv's progress bar as always visible by adding visibility=always to ~/.config/mpv/script-opts/osc.conf. However, the bar occludes part of the video.
Is there a way to resize the video area so that it is not covered by the bar (like in VLC)?
I have found --window-scale, --autofit and its variants in the manual, but none of them solved my problem, they only change the window size.
I am currently using Ubuntu 19.10 with the unity DE and I always use mpv to play videos in Ubuntu. As mpv has few GUI options, there is no GUI option to rotate a video, but we can rotate it with the help of the command line. For example, we can rotate a video by 90 degrees using the command below:
mpv --video-rotate=90 /home/guest/new_vdo.mp4
This way (using the terminal) however, I have to type the command every time I want to rotate the video.
How can we create a keyboard shortcut to rotate a video which is currently playing in mpv?
I'm trying to make a submenu entry on a .desktop application file that launches a youtube address with mpv. The youtube url is copied from the clipboard. Inside gnome-terminal this works fine:
xclip -o | xargs mpv
But if I make a .desktop action like this:
[Desktop Action mpv]
Name=mpv clipboard
Comment=Play the url on the clipboard with mpv
Exec=xclip -o | xargs mpv
It doesn't work. I have tried putting gnome-terminal -x before it, but it still doesn't work. How can it be done?
When I play a movie with SMPlayer (video:mpv) and I check my CPU usage with GNOME system monitor, it shows %4 or %5 CPU usage (1 second update interval), but htop shows %45 CPU usage:
top shows the same load as htop:
Since My CPU fan RPM goes higher when I'm playing movie with SMPlayer. I suspect top is reporting CPU usage more accurately.
I have Intel i7 920 with 6GB RAM.
Why do I have high CPU usage and why do I see different results on top and in GNOME system monitor?
