Hello, this is a quick post to post my mpv.conf file. During my years of mpv usage I found out that these settings are the ones that best suited to me. Most of them blatantly stolen from “I am Scum … and so are you.“.
Also this is nowhere near a guide. I’m doing this because I’m too lazy to make it from scratch everytime I reinstall the mpv.
Please note that currently I’m posting this from a Windows machine so a few of them are Windows-specific settings. Also in the past when I had a M1 Mac I’ve used Anime4K filters but they’re causing unnecessary burden to the machine so I dropped using it.
UPDATED 15.04.2024: Recovered from the time website was nuked and added S/PDIF – HDMI audio passthrough parameters. Also aligns 2022 post with the screenshot output changes.

#%04n will yield 0012 on the 12th screenshot but will not use the lowest
