# Global Rendering Config ====================
vo=gpu # Literally just use the GPU. (gpu-next faster and hopefully better, but has compatibility issues)
gpu-api=vulkan # Use vulkan instead of D3D11
#hwdec=no # Not needed for high perf. CPUs
hwdec=auto-safe # Uses best hardware decoder.

ao=wasapi
audio-exclusive=yes # Make exclusive audio, bit perfect
audio-channels=stereo # Downmix surround to stereo, fits headphones well

video-output-levels=full # Use full range colour, disable this for old TVs.
deinterlace=no # Global reset of deinterlacing to off, remove this if watching interlaced video is intended.

# Deband filter. ==================== Always turn on for anime.
# Apply debanding before other shaders (like static noise)
#glsl-shader="C:\Users\Jacob\mpv\shaders\deband-pre.glsl"
# Debanding videos where it isn't needed can result in detail loss
deband=no
# Deband steps (More = Better quality, but higher GPU cost)
#deband-iterations=4
# Deband strength (More = Less banding, but more detail loss)
#deband-threshold=48
# Deband range (More = Less banding, but higher GPU cost)
#deband-range=16
# Dynamic Grain (More = More dynamic grain)
# Set it to "0" in case you prefer the static grain shader (otherwise use 24)
#deband-grain=24

# Dithering ====================
dither-depth=auto # Set the dither depth to match monitor.
dither=fruit
#dither=error-diffusion # Use intensive dithering.
#THIS OPTION HAS NO EFFECT WITH "vo=gpu-next"
#Selects the kernel in case of error-diffusion
#"sierra-lite" is the fastest choice with decent results, alternatives are "floyd-steinberg" (slow), "atkinson" (slower) and "jarvis-judice-ninke" (slowest) 
#error-diffusion=sierra-lite

# Motion Interpolation ==================== Will cause redrawing because of new frames - apparently Gsync works, so disable this?
#video-sync=display-resample # Sync up the video with Vsync, resamples audio.
#interpolation=yes # Enable that sweet, sweet interpolation.
#tscale=sphinx
#tscale-blur=0.6991556596428412
#tscale-radius=1.0 #lower (e.g. 0.955) = sharper; higher (e.g. 1.005) = smoother 
#tscale-clamp=0.0

#Alternitave:
#tscale=box
#tscale-window=sphinx
#tscale-radius=1.0
#tscale-clamp=0.0

video-sync=audio #for Gsync display
video-sync-max-factor=1 # This restrics the player's FPS to that of the video so Gsync can do its magic

# Scaling algorithms ===================
# SSimDownscaler performs better than any standalone filter, but also adds a lot of computational weight for minimal quality gains over catrom or lanczos.
# Not to mention it makes grain ugly
#Sigmoid downscaling could potentially dampen the ringing but as far as I'm aware mpv only supports sigmoidal light upscaling.
#ewa_lanczossharp is deprecated and will be removed from vo=gpu-next in the future, use --scale=ewa_lanczos --scale-blur=0.981251 to replicate it.

correct-downscaling=yes
linear-downscaling=no # all filters perform better with this off
sigmoid-upscaling=yes # This is incompatible with and replaces linear-upscaling, is also best.

# Static Grain ====================
# If you use scaling shaders like “nnedi3”, “ravu”etc., make sure you run grain shaders after them. Don’t forget to tune the “STRENGTH” inside the shader to your screen resolution! (Default is 48, some say 7, some say 1440, idfk)
