# # mpv configuration file # # Configuration files are read system-wide from /usr/local/etc/mpv.conf # and per-user from ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf, where per-user settings override # system-wide settings, all of which are overridden by the command line. # # Configuration file settings and the command line options use the same # underlying mechanisms. Most options can be put into the configuration file # by dropping the preceding '--'. See the man page for a complete list of # options. # # Lines starting with '#' are comments and are ignored. # # See the CONFIGURATION FILES section in the man page # for a detailed description of the syntax. # # Profiles should be placed at the bottom of the configuration file to ensure # that settings wanted as defaults are not restricted to specific profiles. # # Note that the commented example options usually do _not_ set the default # values. Calling mpv with --list-options is a nice way to see the default # values for most options. ################## # video settings # ################## # Specify default video driver (see --vo=help for a list). #vo=vdpau # Start in fullscreen mode by default. #fs=yes # force starting with centered window #geometry=50%:50% # don't allow a new window to have a size larger than 90% of the screen size #autofit-larger=90%x90% # Disable the On Screen Controller (OSC). #osc=no # Keep the player window on top of all other windows. #ontop=yes ################## # audio settings # ################## # Specify default audio driver (see --ao=help for a list). #ao=alsa # Disable softvol usage, and always use the system mixer if available. #softvol=no # Scale audio tempo by playback speed without altering pitch.
