VIDEO OUTPUT DRIVERS
====================

Video output drivers are interfaces to different video output facilities. The
syntax is:

--vo=<driver1[:suboption1[=value]:...],driver2,...[,]>
    Specify a priority list of video output drivers to be used.

If the list has a trailing ',' mpv will fall back on drivers not contained
in the list. Suboptions are optional and can mostly be omitted.

*NOTE*: See ``--vo=help`` for a list of compiled-in video output drivers.

*EXAMPLE*:

    ``--vo=opengl,xv,``
        Try the OpenGL driver, then the Xv driver, then others.

Available video output drivers are:

xv (X11 only)
    Uses the XVideo extension to enable hardware accelerated playback. This is
    the most compatible VO on X, but may be low quality, and has issues with
    OSD and subtitle display.
    For information about what colorkey is used and how it is drawn run
    mpv with ``-v`` option and look out for the lines tagged with ``[xv
    common]`` at the beginning.

    adaptor=<number>
        Select a specific XVideo adaptor (check xvinfo results).
    port=<number>
        Select a specific XVideo port.
    ck=<cur|use|set>
        Select the source from which the colorkey is taken (default: cur).

        cur
          The default takes the colorkey currently set in Xv.
        use
          Use but do not set the colorkey from mpv (use the ``--colorkey``
          option to change it).
        set
          Same as use but also sets the supplied colorkey.

    ck-method=<man|bg|auto>
        Sets the colorkey drawing method (default: man).

        man
          Draw the colorkey manually (reduces flicker in some cases).
        bg
          Set the colorkey as window background.
        auto
          Let Xv draw the colorkey.

x11 (X11 only)
    Shared memory video output driver without hardware acceleration that works
    whenever X11 is present.

    *NOTE*: this is a fallback only, and shouldn't be normally used.

vdpau (X11 only)
    Uses the VDPAU interface to display and optionally also decode video.
    Hardware decoding is used with ``--vc=ffmpeg12vdpau``,
    ``--vc=ffwmv3vdpau``, ``--vc=ffvc1vdpau``, ``--vc=ffh264vdpau`` or
    ``--vc=ffodivxvdpau``.

    sharpen=<-1-1>
        For positive values, apply a sharpening algorithm to the video, for
        negative values a blurring algorithm (default: 0).
    denoise=<0-1>
        Apply a noise reduction algorithm to the video (default: 0, no noise
        reduction).
    deint=<-4-4>
        Select deinterlacing mode (default: -3). Positive values choose mode
        and enable deinterlacing. Corresponding negative values select the
        same deinterlacing mode, but do not enable deinterlacing on startup
        (useful in configuration files to specify what mode will be enabled by
        the "D" key). All modes respect ``--field-dominance``.

        0
            same as -3
        1
            Show only first field, similar to ``--vf=field``.
        2
            Bob deinterlacing, similar to ``--vf=tfields=1``.
        3
            motion adaptive temporal deinterlacing. May lead to A/V desync
            with slow video hardware and/or high resolution.
        4
            motion adaptive temporal deinterlacing with edge-guided spatial
            interpolation. Needs fast video hardware.
    chroma-deint
        Makes temporal deinterlacers operate both on luma and chroma (default).
        Use no-chroma-deint to solely use luma and speed up advanced
        deinterlacing. Useful with slow video memory.
    pullup
        Try to apply inverse telecine, needs motion adaptive temporal
        deinterlacing.
    hqscaling=<0-9>
        0
            Use default VDPAU scaling (default).
        1-9
            Apply high quality VDPAU scaling (needs capable hardware).
    fps=<number>
        Override autodetected display refresh rate value (the value is needed
        for framedrop to allow video playback rates higher than display
        refresh rate, and for vsync-aware frame timing adjustments). Default 0
        means use autodetected value. A positive value is interpreted as a
        refresh rate in Hz and overrides the autodetected value. A negative
        value disables all timing adjustment and framedrop logic.
    composite-detect
        NVIDIA's current VDPAU implementation behaves somewhat differently
        under a compositing window manager and does not give accurate frame
        timing information. With this option enabled, the player tries to
        detect whether a compositing window manager is active. If one is
        detected, the player disables timing adjustments as if the user had
        specified fps=-1 (as they would be based on incorrect input). This
        means timing is somewhat less accurate than without compositing, but
        with the composited mode behavior of the NVIDIA driver there is no
        hard playback speed limit even without the disabled logic. Enabled by
        default, use no-composite-detect to disable.
    queuetime_windowed=<number> and queuetime_fs=<number>
        Use VDPAU's presentation queue functionality to queue future video
        frame changes at most this many milliseconds in advance (default: 50).
        See below for additional information.
    output_surfaces=<2-15>
        Allocate this many output surfaces to display video frames (default:
        3). See below for additional information.

    Using the VDPAU frame queueing functionality controlled by the queuetime
    options makes mpv's frame flip timing less sensitive to system CPU
    load and allows mpv to start decoding the next frame(s) slightly
    earlier which can reduce jitter caused by individual slow-to-decode
    frames. However the NVIDIA graphics drivers can make other window behavior
    such as window moves choppy if VDPAU is using the blit queue (mainly
    happens if you have the composite extension enabled) and this feature is
    active. If this happens on your system and it bothers you then you can set
    the queuetime value to 0 to disable this feature. The settings to use in
    windowed and fullscreen mode are separate because there should be less
    reason to disable this for fullscreen mode (as the driver issue shouldn't
    affect the video itself).

    You can queue more frames ahead by increasing the queuetime values and the
    output_surfaces count (to ensure enough surfaces to buffer video for a
    certain time ahead you need at least as many surfaces as the video has
    frames during that time, plus two). This could help make video smoother in
    some cases. The main downsides are increased video RAM requirements for
    the surfaces and laggier display response to user commands (display
    changes only become visible some time after they're queued). The graphics
    driver implementation may also have limits on the length of maximum
    queuing time or number of queued surfaces that work well or at all.

direct3d_shaders (Windows only)
    Video output driver that uses the Direct3D interface.

    prefer-stretchrect
        Use IDirect3DDevice9::StretchRect over other methods if possible.

    disable-stretchrect
        Never render the video using IDirect3DDevice9::StretchRect.

    disable-textures
        Never render the video using D3D texture rendering. (Rendering with
        textures + shader will still be allowed. Add disable-shaders to
        completely disable video rendering with textures.)

    disable-shaders
        Never use shaders when rendering video.

    only-8bit
        Never render YUV video with more than 8 bits per component.
        (Using this flag will force software conversion to 8 bit.)

    disable-osd
        Disable OSD rendering for subtitles.
        (Using this flag might force the insertion of the 'ass' video filter,
        which will render the subtitles in software.)

    disable-texture-align
        Normally texture sizes are always aligned to 16. With this option
        enabled, the video texture will always have exactly the same size as
        the video itself.


    Debug options. These might be incorrect, might be removed in the future, might
    crash, might cause slow downs, etc. Contact the developers if you actually need
    any of these for performance or proper operation.

    force-power-of-2
        Always force textures to power of 2, even if the device reports
        non-power-of-2 texture sizes as supported.

    texture-memory=N
        Only affects operation with shaders/texturing enabled, and (E)OSD.
        Values for N:

            0
                default, will often use an additional shadow texture + copy
            1
                use D3DPOOL_MANAGED
            2
                use D3DPOOL_DEFAULT
            3
                use D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM, but without shadow texture

    swap-discard
        Use D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD, which might be faster.
        Might be slower too, as it must (?) clear every frame.

    exact-backbuffer
        Always resize the backbuffer to window size.

    no16bit-textures
        Don't use textures with a 16 bit color channel for YUV formats that
        use more than 8 bits per component. Instead, use D3DFMT_A8L8 textures
        and compute the values sampled from the 2 channels back into one.
        Might be slower, since the shader becomes slightly more complicated.
        Might work better, if your drivers either don't support D3DFMT_L16,
        or if either the texture unit or the shaders don't operate in at least
        16 bit precision.

direct3d (Windows only)
    Same as ``direct3d_shaders``, but with the options ``disable-textures``
    and ``disable-shaders`` forced.

corevideo (Mac OS X 10.6 and later)
    Mac OS X CoreVideo video output driver. Uses the CoreVideo APIs to fill
    PixelBuffers and generate OpenGL textures from them (useful as a fallback
    for vo_opengl_).

.. _vo_opengl:

opengl
    OpenGL video output driver. It supports extended scaling methods, dithering
    and color management.

    By default, it tries to use fast and fail-safe settings. Use the alias
    ``opengl-hq`` to use this driver with defaults set to high quality
    rendering.

    Requires at least OpenGL 2.1 and the GL_ARB_texture_rg extension. For older
    drivers, ``opengl-old`` may work.

    Some features are available with OpenGL 3 capable graphics drivers only
    (or if the necessary extensions are available).

    lscale=<filter>
        Set the scaling filter. Possible choices:
            bilinear

        bilinear
            Bilinear hardware texture filtering (fastest, mid-quality).
            This is the default.

        lanczos2
            Lanczos scaling with radius=2. Provides good quality and speed.
            This is the default when using ``opengl-hq``.

        lanczos3
            Lanczos with radius=3.

        bicubic_fast
            Bicubic filter. Has a blurring effect on the image, even if no
            scaling is done.

        sharpen3
            Unsharp masking (sharpening) with radius=3 and a default strength
            of 0.5 (see ``lparam1``).

        sharpen5
            Unsharp masking (sharpening) with radius=5 and a default strength
            of 0.5 (see ``lparam1``).

        mitchell
            Mitchell-Netravali. The ``b`` and ``c`` parameters can be set with
            ``lparam1`` and ``lparam2``. Both are set to 1/3 by default.

    lparam1=<value>
        Set filter parameters. Ignored if the filter is not tunable. These are
        unset by default, and use the filter specific default if applicable.

    lparam2=<value>
        See ``lparam1``.

    stereo=<value>
        Select a method for stereo display. You may have to use ``--aspect`` to
        fix the aspect value. Experimental, do not expect too much from it.

        0
            Normal 2D display
        1
            Convert side by side input to full-color red-cyan stereo.
        2
            Convert side by side input to full-color green-magenta stereo.
        3
            Convert side by side input to quadbuffered stereo. Only supported
            by very few OpenGL cards.

    srgb
        Enable gamma-correct scaling by working in linear light. This
        makes use of sRGB textures and framebuffers.
        This option forces the options 'indirect' and 'gamma'.
        NOTE: for YUV colorspaces, gamma 1/0.45 (2.222) is assumed. RGB input
        is always assumed to be in sRGB.
        This option is not really useful, as gamma-correct scaling has not much
        influence on typical video playback. Most visible effect comes from
        slightly different gamma.

    pbo
        Enable use of PBOs. This is faster, but can sometimes lead to
        sporadic and temporary image corruption.

    dither-depth=<n>
        Positive non-zero values select the target bit depth. Default: 0.

        \-1
            Disable any dithering done by mpv.
        0
            Automatic selection. If output bit depth can't be detected,
            8 bits per component are assumed.
        8
            Dither to 8 bit output.

        Note that dithering will always be disabled if the bit depth
        of the video is lower or equal to the detected dither-depth.
        If color management is enabled, input depth is assumed to be
        16 bits, because the 3D LUT output is 16 bit wide.

        Note that the depth of the connected video display device can not be
        detected. Often, LCD panels will do dithering on their own, which
        conflicts with vo_opengl's dithering, and leads to ugly output.

    debug
        Check for OpenGL errors, i.e. call glGetError(). Also request a
        debug OpenGL context (which does nothing with current graphics drivers
        as of this writing).


    swapinterval=<n>
        Interval in displayed frames between two buffer swaps.
        1 is equivalent to enable VSYNC, 0 to disable VSYNC.

    no-scale-sep
        When using a separable scale filter for luma, usually two filter
        passes are done. This is often faster. However, it forces
        conversion to RGB in an extra pass, so it can actually be slower
        if used with fast filters on small screen resolutions. Using
        this options will make rendering a single operation.
        Note that chroma scalers are always done as 1-pass filters.

    cscale=<n>
        As lscale but for chroma (2x slower with little visible effect).
        Note that with some scaling filters, upscaling is always done in
        RGB. If chroma is not subsampled, this option is ignored, and the
        luma scaler is used instead. Setting this option is often useless.

    fancy-downscaling
        When using convolution based filters, extend the filter size
        when downscaling. Trades quality for reduced downscaling performance.

    no-npot
        Force use of power-of-2 texture sizes. For debugging only.
        Borders will be distorted due to filtering.

    glfinish
        Call glFinish() before swapping buffers

    sw
        Continue even if a software renderer is detected.

    backend=<sys>

    indirect
        Do YUV conversion and scaling as separate passes. This will
        first render the video into a video-sized RGB texture, and
        draw the result on screen. The luma scaler is used to scale
        the RGB image when rendering to screen. The chroma scaler
        is used only on YUV conversion, and only if the video is
        chroma-subsampled (usually the case).
        This mechanism is disabled on RGB input.
        Specifying this option directly is generally useful for debugging only.

    fbo-format=<fmt>
        Selects the internal format of textures used for FBOs. The format can
        influence performance and quality of the video output. (FBOs are not
        always used, and typically only when using extended scalers.)
        fmt can be one of: rgb, rgba, rgb8, rgb10, rgb16, rgb16f, rgb32f
        Default: rgb.

    gamma
        Always enable gamma control. (Disables delayed enabling.)

    icc-profile=<file>
        Load an ICC profile and use it to transform linear RGB to
        screen output. Needs LittleCMS2 support compiled in.

    icc-cache=<file>
        Store and load the 3D LUT created from the ICC profile in
        this file. This can be used to speed up loading, since
        LittleCMS2 can take a while to create the 3D LUT.
        Note that this file contains an uncompressed LUT. Its size depends on
        the ``3dlut-size``, and can be very big.

    icc-intent=<value>
        0
            perceptual
        1
            relative colorimetric
        2

        3
            absolute colorimetric (default)

    3dlut-size=<r>x<g>x<b>
        Size of the 3D LUT generated from the ICC profile in each
        dimension. Default is 128x256x64.
        Sizes must be a power of two, and 256 at most.

opengl-hq
    Same as ``opengl``, but with default settings for high quality rendering.

    This is equivalent to:

    | --vo=opengl:lscale=lanczos2:dither-depth=0:pbo:fbo-format=rgb16

    Note that some cheaper LCDs do dithering that gravely interferes with
    vo_opengl's dithering. Disabling dithering with ``dither-depth=-1`` helps.

    Unlike ``opengl``, ``opengl-hq`` makes use of FBOs by default. Sometimes you
    can achieve better quality or performance by changing the fbo-format
    sub-option to ``rgb16f``, ``rgb32f`` or ``rgb``. (Known problems include
    Mesa/Intel not accepting ``rgb16``, Mesa sometimes not being compiled with
    float texture support, and some OSX setups being very slow with ``rgb16``,
    but fast with ``rgb32f``.)

opengl-old
    OpenGL video output driver, old version. Video size must be smaller
    than the maximum texture size of your OpenGL implementation. Intended to
    work even with the most basic OpenGL implementations, but also makes use
    of newer extensions, which allow support for more colorspaces.

    The code performs very few checks, so if a feature does not work, this
    might be because it is not supported by your card/OpenGL implementation
    even if you do not get any error message. Use ``glxinfo`` or a similar
    tool to display the supported OpenGL extensions.

    (no-)ati-hack
        ATI drivers may give a corrupted image when PBOs are used (when using
        `force-pbo`). This option fixes this, at the expense of
        using a bit more memory.
    (no-)force-pbo
        Always uses PBOs to transfer textures even if this involves an extra
        copy. Currently this gives a little extra speed with NVidia drivers
        and a lot more speed with ATI drivers. May need ``--no-slices`` and
        the ati-hack suboption to work correctly.
    (no-)scaled-osd
        Changes the way the OSD behaves when the size of the window changes
        (default: disabled). When enabled behaves more like the other video
        output drivers, which is better for fixed-size fonts. Disabled looks
        much better with FreeType fonts and uses the borders in fullscreen
        mode. Does not work correctly with ass subtitles (see ``--ass``), you
        can instead render them without OpenGL support via ``--vf=ass``.
    rectangle=<0,1,2>
        Select usage of rectangular textures which saves video RAM, but often
        is slower (default: 0).

        0
            Use power-of-two textures (default).
        1
            Use the ``GL_ARB_texture_rectangle`` extension.
        2
            Use the ``GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two`` extension. In some
            cases only supported in software and thus very slow.

    swapinterval=<n>
        Minimum interval between two buffer swaps, counted in displayed frames
        (default: 1). 1 is equivalent to enabling VSYNC, 0 to disabling VSYNC.
        Values below 0 will leave it at the system default. This limits the
        framerate to (horizontal refresh rate / n). Requires
        ``GLX_SGI_swap_control`` support to work. With some (most/all?)
        implementations this only works in fullscreen mode.
    ycbcr
        Use the ``GL_MESA_ycbcr_texture`` extension to convert YUV to RGB. In
        most cases this is probably slower than doing software conversion to
        RGB.
    yuv=<n>
        Select the type of YUV to RGB conversion. The default is
        auto-detection deciding between values 0 and 2.

        0
            Use software conversion. Compatible with all OpenGL versions.
            Provides brightness, contrast and saturation control.
        1
            Same as 2. This used to use nVidia-specific extensions, which
            didn't provide any advantages over using fragment programs, except
            possibly on very ancient graphic cards. It produced a gray-ish
            output, which is why it has been removed.
        2
            Use a fragment program. Needs the ``GL_ARB_fragment_program``
            extension and at least three texture units. Provides brightness,
            contrast, saturation and hue control.
        3
            Use a fragment program using the POW instruction. Needs the
            ``GL_ARB_fragment_program`` extension and at least three texture
            units. Provides brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and gamma
            control. Gamma can also be set independently for red, green and
            blue. Method 4 is usually faster.
        4
            Use a fragment program with additional lookup. Needs the
            ``GL_ARB_fragment_program`` extension and at least four texture
            units. Provides brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and gamma
            control. Gamma can also be set independently for red, green and
            blue.
        5
            Use ATI-specific method (for older cards). This uses an
            ATI-specific extension (``GL_ATI_fragment_shader`` - not
            ``GL_ARB_fragment_shader``!). At least three texture units are
            needed. Provides saturation and hue control. This method is fast
            but inexact.
        6
            Use a 3D texture to do conversion via lookup. Needs the
            ``GL_ARB_fragment_program extension`` and at least four texture
            units. Extremely slow (software emulation) on some (all?) ATI
            cards since it uses a texture with border pixels. Provides
            brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and gamma control. Gamma can
            also be set independently for red, green and blue. Speed depends
            more on GPU memory bandwidth than other methods.

    lscale=<n>
        Select the scaling function to use for luminance scaling. Only valid
        for yuv modes 2, 3, 4 and 6.

        0
            Use simple linear filtering (default).
        1
            Use bicubic B-spline filtering (better quality). Needs one
            additional texture unit. Older cards will not be able to handle
            this for chroma at least in fullscreen mode.
        2
            Use cubic filtering in horizontal, linear filtering in vertical
            direction. Works on a few more cards than method 1.
        3
            Same as 1 but does not use a lookup texture. Might be faster on
            some cards.
        4
            Use experimental unsharp masking with 3x3 support and a default
            strength of 0.5 (see `filter-strength`).
        5
            Use experimental unsharp masking with 5x5 support and a default
            strength of 0.5 (see `filter-strength`).

    cscale=<n>
        Select the scaling function to use for chrominance scaling. For
        details see `lscale`.
    filter-strength=<value>
        Set the effect strength for the `lscale`/`cscale` filters that support
        it.
    stereo=<value>
        Select a method for stereo display. You may have to use ``--aspect`` to
        fix the aspect value. Experimental, do not expect too much from it.

        0
            Normal 2D display
        1
            Convert side by side input to full-color red-cyan stereo.
        2
            Convert side by side input to full-color green-magenta stereo.
        3
            Convert side by side input to quadbuffered stereo. Only supported
            by very few OpenGL cards.

    The following options are only useful if writing your own fragment
    programs.

    customprog=<filename>
        Load a custom fragment program from <filename>. See
        ``TOOLS/edgedect.fp`` for an example.
    customtex=<filename>
        Load a custom "gamma ramp" texture from <filename>. This can be used
        in combination with yuv=4 or with the customprog option.
    (no-)customtlin
        If enabled (default) use ``GL_LINEAR`` interpolation, otherwise use
        ``GL_NEAREST`` for customtex texture.
    (no-)customtrect
        If enabled, use texture_rectangle for customtex texture. Default is
        disabled.
    (no-)mipmapgen
        If enabled, mipmaps for the video are automatically generated. This
        should be useful together with the customprog and the TXB instruction
        to implement blur filters with a large radius. For most OpenGL
        implementations this is very slow for any non-RGB formats. Default is
        disabled.

    Normally there is no reason to use the following options, they mostly
    exist for testing purposes.

    (no-)glfinish
        Call ``glFinish()`` before swapping buffers. Slower but in some cases
        more correct output (default: disabled).
    (no-)manyfmts
        Enables support for more (RGB and BGR) color formats (default:
        enabled). Needs OpenGL version >= 1.2.
    slice-height=<0-...>
        Number of lines copied to texture in one piece (default: 0). 0 for
        whole image.

        *NOTE*: If YUV colorspace is used (see `yuv` suboption), special rules
        apply: If the decoder uses slice rendering (see ``--no-slices``), this
        setting has no effect, the size of the slices as provided by the
        decoder is used. If the decoder does not use slice rendering, the
        default is 16.
    (no-)osd
        Enable or disable support for OSD rendering via OpenGL (default:
        enabled). This option is for testing; to disable the OSD use
        ``--osd-level=0`` instead.
