From 62fb374349e0b13707e12ada5a3410a395c58efa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Avi Halachmi (:avih)" Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2020 23:42:20 +0200 Subject: vo_sixel: change default dither to "auto" For two reasons: 1. It was counter intuitive that there's an "auto" value (which is actually a libsixel value and not an mpv one), but it's not the default value - our default was Atkinson. 2. "auto" provides better dithering than Atkinson with libsixel, which is especially noticeable with smooth gradients - where Atkinson has visible banding. In libsixel 1.8.2 the "auto" value maps to Atkinson if the output palette has up to 16 colors, or to Floyd-Steinberg otherwise (e.g. using fixed palette with 256 colors chooses Floyd-Steinberg). --- DOCS/man/vo.rst | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS/man') diff --git a/DOCS/man/vo.rst b/DOCS/man/vo.rst index 2802ce914c..265787e73a 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/vo.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/vo.rst @@ -423,12 +423,12 @@ Available video output drivers are: Selects the dither algorithm which libsixel should apply.
