MPV Config

Personal mpv configuration with shader management, interpolation profiles, and keybindings for upscaling/post-processing.

Note

To enable video interpolation features, check out the relevant repo: realtime-RIFE-portable

Installation

Portable

Download the repo and place the portable_config directory next to the mpv.exe file:

mpv/
├── mpv.exe
└── portable_config/
    ├── mpv.conf
    ├── input.conf
    ├── shaders/
    ├── scripts/
    └── ...

When portable_config exists, mpv ignores the user-level config entirely.

User-level

Download and unpack the contents of the portable_config directory into your mpv config directory:

OS	Path
Windows	%APPDATA%/mpv/
Linux/macOS	~/.config/mpv/

%APPDATA%/mpv/
├── mpv.conf
├── input.conf
├── shaders/
├── scripts/
└── ...

Keybinding

Key	Action
F1	Enable interpolation: AnimeX2 (RIFE=4.25, sc_threshold=0.08)
F2	Enable interpolation: LiveActionX2 (RIFE=4.25, sc_threshold=0.1)
F3	Enable interpolation: LiteX2 (RIFE=4.6, sc_threshold=0.1)
F4	Apply the RTX_VSR profile
F5	Cycle through debanding modes (Light → Medium → High → Default)
<	Decrease playback speed by -0.25x
>	Increase playback speed by +0.25x
CTRL+z	Clear all active shaders
a-1 to a-6	Activate Anime4K (HQ) modes (A, B, C, A+A, B+B, C+A)
CTRL+1	Toggle shader: ArtCNN_C4F32
CTRL+2	Toggle shader: FSRCNNX_x2_16-0-4-1
CTRL+3	Toggle shader: FSR
CTRL+4	Toggle shader: NVScaler_NVIDIA (uncomment standard NVScaler in config if preferred)
CTRL+5	Toggle shader: SSimDownscaler
CTRL+6	Toggle shader: adaptive-sharpen (uncomment adaptive-sharpen-luma in config if preferred)
CTRL+7	Toggle shader: NVSharpen_NVIDIA (uncomment standard NVSharpen in config if preferred)

Shaders pipeliine(before use, check it)

if upscaler use HOOK LUMA (ArtCNN,FSRCNNX ... ): Luma Upscaler -> Chroma Upscaler -> Antiring -> Downscaler ->Sharpener -> Grain/Noise

if upscaler use HOOK MAIN (ravu-zoom-ar-r3-rgb ... ): Denoising -> Debanding -> Upscaler -> Antiring -> Downscaler -> Sharpener -> Grain/Noise
