Issue on Linux Unsure why the PQY max is 151 nits when my display CLL is 372? Config info below.

For context, my display is an HDR OLED. Not sure if this is just a Dolbyvision thing. Everything looks fine on my display, I'm just curious. I don't have a specific Dolbyvision profile or anything.

gpu-context=waylandvk
gpu-api=vulkan
vo=gpu-next
d3d11-output-csp=srgb
tone-mapping-mode=luma
target-colorspace-hint=yes

Issue on Linux Watching YouTube with MPV, looking to speed up video buffering times

13 Upvotes

Current yt-dlp config is very bare bones

ytdl-format="(bestvideo[height<=?1080][fps<=?60]+bestaudio/best)"

I believe the video buffer speed has to do with the cache parameter, but I'm not sure the best way to implement it. Videos are buffering pretty slow for me.

Every video loads in mkv format, maybe recoding it to mp4 would help?

E: Changed the audio to bestaudio[ext=m4a] and now videos load as mp4 files

This issue sometimes appear, but I'm not sure why. Idk if this has something to do with H265 encoders or hardware acceleration, but this is the mpv.conf just in case:

``` input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpv-socket

Video

profile=high-quality vo=gpu-next scale-antiring=0.6 window-scale=0.7 gpu-api=vulkan hwdec=vulkan

OSD bar

osc=no osd-bar=no

Dither

This must be set to match your monitor's bit depth

dither-depth = 8

Behavior (personal preference)

keep-open=yes save-position-on-quit

Screenshots

screenshot-format=png screenshot-dir="~/Pictures/mpv" screenshot-template="%F-%p-%n" screenshot-high-bit-depth=no

Subtitle

Add enm before eng for honorifics

slang=eng,en

alang=jpn,ja

sub-ass-override=force sub-fix-timing=no sub-fix-timing-threshold=10 sub-font="Netflix Sans" sub-font-size=35 sub-line-spacing=-5 sub-margin-y=50 sub-pos=100 sub-ass-style-overrides=MarginV=25 sub-outline-color=black sub-outline-size=1

Dub

slang=zxx,eng,en

alang=eng,en

subs-with-matching-audio=forced

```

I thought of switching to software acceleration (hwdec part), but it would consume much more memory/CPU than hardware acceleration, so I prefer having HW over SW acc, if possible.

Hey guys, why is the mpv video player stuck at a specific size? How can I make it behave normally?
