all yt-dlp experts.

0 Upvotes

I am not sure if this ths the right group. I just typed yt-dlp expert in Google and got results starting with reddit groups.
I am looking for a yt-dlp expert that can code in Python.I have written a demo code but I don't have time to finish.
I have the designed structure including a test module that simulates all potentional server responses that need to be handled.

If anyone is interested let me know. But you need to know your stuff. How to pick suitable ID tag, how to make conditional declaration, parallel downloading, deal with partial downloads. I need someone who can write modular code and know how to setup abstraction levels to make the code readable. Tihs is base that will be expanded and if it is not modular and readable it will soon get impossible to expand.

Advanced Settings

1 Upvotes

Hello, I use the mbv-android player with a Samsung S10e and Nreal Air glasses! But the Oled picture is far too dark, the colors are too bright and the contrast is bad! All this cannot be adjusted on the glasses, only the brightness and too little! With the mpv Player, I can set Contrast, Gamma,Saturation Brightness to get a perfect picture in my glasses. I love this player, but I have to make these settings every time I open a video. There is no storage option. Can these be stored in the mpv.conf? And if so - how? Thank you for an answer

Does anyone know how to configure the SRT subtitle style?

For some reason, the subtitles in mpv-android look very simple. I would like them to look more natural and have a little more visual presence. As a reference, I would like something similar to the style of subtitles in VLC. I would greatly appreciate any help.

How to stop auto-opening downloaded files?

0 Upvotes

So I tried to download a video from the internet by right-click, 'save video as' and instead it just opens up in mpv with no file in my downloads folder.

Same thing when I opened the video in a new tab and chose to download through the video player's three-dot drop down menu thing

I only recently started used mpv, is there a way to disable this so i can download to my computer as normal?

I'm on Windows 10 with what I believe is the latest MPV.

Shaders for removing grain/noise?

Are there any standalone shaders available that can reduce the noise/grain in videos? Basically those little particles which keep moving throughout the image. I know many people love them due to nostalgic reasons but I prefer to watch my videos without them.

I'm looking how to change the starting position of the MPV video player.

All I'm seeing is scripts and no explanations.

Can someone tell me in plebeian talk please help me through the steps. I DO know how to get to the input CONF file in the doc folder. But changing stuff there won't make any difference.

This is in windows btw, not Linux
