I’ve tried searching around and stuff but I couldn’t find a working solution
Background: I am running Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi, mainly as a media player.
When I run MPV, it seems to drop frames (1-2 per second). Visually, nothing looks wrong so I am fine with that.
The issue is that after playing for some duration, the audio will just disappear. I would then need to pause the video for a while or seek backwards for the audio to come back (sometimes it just comes back on its own when I leave it playing too). I suspect it may be due to the dropped frames or maybe it’s due to insufficient system resource.
Could someone help suggest some config changes which may help with the issue? I am totally fine with the visual dropped frames, I just want to fix the audio issue.
This is my config.
input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket
ao=pipewire
volume=120
demuxer-readahead-secs=3
cache=yes
Yea, it seems to be using 200% CPU. But I have
vo=gputhough, so I’d thought the GPU would’ve taken some of the load.If I am strapped for CPU resources, how do I make it so that MPV buffer or something instead of dropping the audio when this happens? Cause it is strange the even though the visuals are acceptable, it is the audio that fails before the video
If you want to use an OpenGL backend, see https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4080
NOTE: I never used mpv, so i’m not really an expert; but please post the logs that are printed to the console when you launch
mpvfrom the console.Tried the settings on the GitHub, doesn’t seem to work, and it also made the stuttering worse
opengl-pbo=yes opengl-early-flush=no. video-sync=display-resampleok, here you go
