Topic: Vapoursynth MPV not installing

Recently bought SVP.

Maybe it is installing it but it sure isn't telling me where it installed it to.. SVP itself isn't showing that it's installed either. When I try and use SVPtube to open it (since MPV is default for SVPtube), nothing happens. It's not in the SVP folder or any of the Program Data folders. Why can't I just install it myself and choose where it goes instead of everything being automated..

I would just use MPC-HC since that's working but it slows to a crawl on 1080p with SVPtube. 1080p files on my computer work fine at 66fps. 720p streaming is also fine.

I read at the SVPtube page that MPC-HC may hang on long videos (the video is 30 minutes long). Which is why I'm hoping MPV will fix my issue.

https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Manual:SVPtube



So my question is, where does SVP install MPV to? Or if it really isn't installing, how can I force it to install? "Additional programs and features" doesn't fix it.

Re: Vapoursynth MPV not installing

Thank you. I manually chose Vapourwave MPV as the default player for SVPtube. However it still won't launch when I click "play". I can see the loading symbol for my cursor but it eventually stops and nothing happens. I also tried VLC, but same issue. What do you think might be causing it?


I should also add that they launch when I click them normally. Just not through SVPtube.

Re: Vapoursynth MPV not installing

switch back to the internal "mpv player" option, run
mpv.exe --log-file=<some-writeable-path>
and then click "Play" in SVPtube

Re: Vapoursynth MPV not installing

In "mpv.conf" right? Every site says that's the way to enable MPV logs.

I tried the following variations:

--log-file=D:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\mpv64\log\mpv.log

log-file=D:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\mpv64\log\mpv.log

log-file="D:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\mpv64\log\mpv.log"

log-file=<D:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\mpv64\log\mpv.log>



No logs appear at the place I chose. Either I did this all wrong or SVPtube isn't launching MPV whatsoever.

After typing that I checked task manager and I don't see MPV showing up when I click play which gives credence to that idea.

Thank you for the quick help. I appreciate it.

Re: Vapoursynth MPV not installing

I bet this path is NOT writable w/o administrative permissions and moreover "log" subfolder doesn't exists

> In "mpv.conf" right?

nope, I mean just run it from the command line with an additional argument

again:
0. remove "log-file" from the mpv.conf
1. open cmd window, run
D:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\mpv64\mpv.exe --log-file=%TEMP%\mpv.log
2. click Play in SVPtube
3. goto %TEMP%, read mpv.log

Re: Vapoursynth MPV not installing

I was able to fix it. Some ffdshow settings from before I purchased were interfering. Completely reset them and now MPC-HC 1080p videos are fine. No need for MPV now.

You can close this thread or whatever you need to do.

Again, thanks for patiently helping me.
