Random stuttering and oversaturation

[Allenwalters 1]

I have an HTPC setup with an LG OLED TV. I have Stuttering every several minutes while watching  video. I also have oversaturation. Reds and blues are really bad. I can't find any way of changing the mpv player settings inside of Emby. I know it's the player because I downloaded MPV and was able to adjust the saturation and it was perfect. How can I control the enternal player with the keyboard like I can with the stand alone player?

Hi, we don't have all of these settings exposed in the emby interface, but you could use a custom mpv.conf file to customize mpv settings.

If I could figure out how to make it work right I would use the stand alone as an external player so that I could have control over the settings.

[Allenwalters 1]

I searched Google and couldn't find any available. I would have thought people would be making them.

[Luke 42077]

People would be making what, custom mpv conf files? There are plenty of people here doing that such as @

[Allenwalters 1]

I originally thought it was my setup. I bought three graphics cards and spent days changing operating systems an settings before I figured it out.

[Allenwalters 1]

Is there a section for that?

[Allenwalters 1]

I really like how fast you respoded to me.

I even went as far as to buy Ember. I never thought I would have spent $4.99 on a turd.

A custom mpv.conf file is an advanced topic so our documentation is a little sparse on that at this point. You should be able to follow mpv documentation though and @ will have some insight as well.

You can alter almost any setting with the mpv in theater. Are you just wanting to adjust the saturation?

[Allenwalters 1]

Yes and the stuttering eventually. Mainly the oversaturation though. The stuttering is odd, it playes silky smooth for awhile and then for 10 seconds or so it stutters, then goes back to normal. The GPU and CPU stays at a steady with no fluctuation durring stutter.

[Allenwalters 1]

I actually think it's dropping frames.

[Allenwalters 1]

It's a slow stutter.

[Allenwalters 1]

One thing I did notice is it only stutters in windows 10, windows 7 it was smooth but no HDR and the quallity was lower.

[Allenwalters 1]

Other than this I really like Emby, it puts P@#x to shame on video quallity.

You can see what's happening in the stats. Press Ctrl+j or use the cog in the overlay.

[Allenwalters 1]

Looks like the stutter is something else. No frame drops.

[Allenwalters 1]

So, it looks like I just need to deal with the saturation issue.

[Guest asrequested]

So you know how to make and use an mpv.conf?

[Allenwalters 1]

No

[Allenwalters 1]

You should really think about making a version that allows the keyboard controls. Some videos look just fine and don't relly need adjusting, some are way off. It would be nice to adjust it on the fly.

[Allenwalters 1]

I think that would make this app way more popular.

[Guest asrequested]

That was raised when we were initially testing it. But this the first time anyone has reported disparity between videos.

 

Adjusting on the fly isn't possible. The mpv.conf is preesetly the only way to do it. Are you sure the saturation isn't HDR related?

 

If you want to use an mpv.conf, I can help with that.

It would turn Emby into a P@#x killer.
