You mean to add a modernz.conf file so that users can simply download and edit?

[Samillion]

Done: https://github.com/Samillion/ModernZ/blob/main/modernz.conf

[mrfragger]

yea that's what I meant..sorry I tested it was bad so just updated it now and should be good..oh ok perfect even better..you put the official one.

not sure how to fix that ' ' or " " or 1/60 whatever I put in it fails

ok never mind I see just put 0.0167 for tick_delay

[Samillion]

Aha! Nice catch. Will fix the conf value now.

Thank you for that.

[Samillion]

Updated README.md accordingly to match modernz.conf I've uploaded.

[Keith94]

@Samillion I can't get any options to take effect when using modernz.conf... any ideas why? i'm using "path-to-mpv\mpv\script-opts\modernz.conf"

[Samillion]

Could you try to run with --v to see if it's reading modernz.conf? It should show:

modernz: Opened config file script-opts/modernz.conf.

You don't need to set a path, unless you're using something different than the usual script-opts/ location.

[Keith94]

Ahh that helped me figure it out. It was checking AppData by default but I wanted it to use a portable_config folder. Just forgot to create one.

[Samillion]

😄 Glad it worked out.
