From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

MPV dropping frames and audio (lemmy.cafe)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I've tried searching around and stuff but I couldn't find a working solution

Background: I am running Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi, mainly as a media player.

When I run MPV, it seems to drop frames (1-2 per second). Visually, nothing looks wrong so I am fine with that.

The issue is that after playing for some duration, the audio will just disappear. I would then need to pause the video for a while or seek backwards for the audio to come back (sometimes it just comes back on its own when I leave it playing too). I suspect it may be due to the dropped frames or maybe it's due to insufficient system resource.

Could someone help suggest some config changes which may help with the issue? I am totally fine with the visual dropped frames, I just want to fix the audio issue.

This is my config.

input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket
ao=pipewire
volume=120
demuxer-readahead-secs=3                                
cache=yes

If you want to use an OpenGL backend, see https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4080

NOTE: I never used mpv, so i'm not really an expert; but please post the logs that are printed to the console when you launch mpv from the console.

Tried the settings on the GitHub, doesn't seem to work, and it also made the stuttering worse

opengl-pbo=yes
opengl-early-flush=no.
video-sync=display-resample

ok, here you go
