# The thumbnail cache directory. # On Windows this defaults to %TEMP%\mpv_thumbs_cache, # and on other platforms to /tmp/mpv_thumbs_cache. # The directory will be created automatically, but must be writeable! # Use absolute paths, and take note that environment variables like %TEMP% are unsupported (despite the default)! # cache_directory=%HOME%/.cache/mpv/thumbnails cache_directory=/tmp/my_mpv_thumbnails # THIS IS NOT A WINDOWS PATH. COMMENT IT OUT OR ADJUST IT YOURSELF. # Whether to generate thumbnails automatically on video load, without a keypress # Defaults to yes autogenerate=yes # Only automatically thumbnail videos shorter than this (in seconds) # You will have to press T (or your own keybind) to enable the thumbnail previews # Set to 0 to disable the check, ie. thumbnail videos no matter how long they are # Defaults to 3600 (one hour) autogenerate_max_duration=3600 # Use mpv to generate thumbnail even if ffmpeg is found in PATH # ffmpeg is slightly faster than mpv but lacks support for ordered chapters in MKVs, # which can break the resulting thumbnails. You have been warned. # Defaults to yes (don't use ffmpeg) prefer_mpv=no # Explicitly disable subtitles on the mpv sub-calls # mpv can and will by default render subtitles into the thumbnails. # If this is not what you wish, set mpv_no_sub to yes # Defaults to no mpv_no_sub=no # Enable to disable the built-in keybind ("T") to add your own, see after the block disable_keybinds=no # The maximum dimensions of the thumbnails, in pixels # Defaults to 200 and 200 thumbnail_width=200 thumbnail_height=200 # The thumbnail count target # (This will result in a thumbnail every ~10 seconds for a 25 minute video) thumbnail_count=150 # The above target count will be adjusted by the minimum and # maximum time difference between thumbnails. # The thumbnail_count will be used to calculate a target separation, # and min/max_delta will be used to constrict it. # In other words, thumbnails will be: # - at least min_delta seconds apart (limiting the amount) # - at most max_delta seconds apart (raising the amount if needed) # Defaults to 5 and 90, values are seconds min_delta=5 max_delta=90 # 120 seconds aka 2 minutes will add more thumbnails only when the video is over 5 hours long! # Below are overrides for remote urls (you generally want less thumbnails, because it's slow!) # Thumbnailing network paths will be done with mpv (leveraging youtube-dl) # Allow thumbnailing network paths (naive check for "://") # Defaults to no thumbnail_network=no # Override thumbnail count, min/max delta, as above remote_thumbnail_count=60 remote_min_delta=15 remote_max_delta=120 # Try to grab the raw stream and disable ytdl for the mpv subcalls # Much faster than passing the url to ytdl again, but may cause problems with some sites # Defaults to yes remote_direct_stream=yes
