Usage

Shader auto profiles

Anime4K

If the path of the currently playing file contains a directory named Anime (case insensitive) mpv will automatically load the anime shader profile which in turn will load the configured Anime4K profile.

The default (Anime4K: Mode A (HQ)) is my personal choice for my system (Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RX 6900 XT @ 165 Hz), if this is not ideal for you it can be changed in mpv.conf under [anime]. I recommend experimenting by enabling the statistics overlay (Shift+I) and enable one at a time with Ctrl+[0-9]. See the Anime4K docs for more information.

FSR

If the path of the currently playing file contains a directory named Movies, TV-Series, TV_Series or TVSeries (all case insensitive) then mpv will automatically load the live-action shader profile. By default this will in turn load the FidelityFX FSR shader.

Key bindings

Use Ctrl+[1-6] to manually select a Anime4K profile and Ctrl+9 for FSR. Ctrl+0 clears the shaders so no profile is active.

NOTE: Profile switching is not saved across sessions, so if you don't want to use the configured default you would have to change every time you open a video. I recommend you instead change the defaults in mpv.conf.

Subtitles

To auto-download subtitles for the currently playing video, press b. To auto-sync the currently selected subtitles with the audio, press n.
