How to use it in SMPlayer?

[wdw89]

SMPlayer is a GUI of Mplayer and mpv, I can add option of mpv in advanced preference, but has no effect with Anime4K. Is there any one know how to use?

Edit the mpv.conf file to include the line to enable the shaders, then in SMPlayer Options>Preferences>MPlayer/mpv there's a blank field for "Options:"

In the field enter

--config=yes

this should allow the shader to work there, as the config file is disable by default in SMPlayer

Edit:

a cleaner option would be just to pass the glsl-shader directly in the "Options:" field

--glsl-shader=~/.config/mpv/shaders/Anime4K_Hybrid_v2.1a.glsl

replace the glsl file name accordingly

For the current version of Anime4K shaders and SMPlayer 20.6

I put shaders here on windows

And pass one of the 6 readme configs in theOptions: field (with the -- and the correct route), for example the last setting for 1080p on the readme, you can see any error with right click on the video=> view => MPlayer/mpv log

• Improve perceptual quality + deblur:
  --glsl-shaders="~~/mpv/shaders/Anime4K_Denoise_Bilateral_Mode.glsl;~~/mpv/shaders/Anime4K_Deblur_DoG.glsl;~~/mpv/shaders/Anime4K_DarkLines_HQ.glsl;~~/mpv/shaders/Anime4K_ThinLines_HQ.glsl;~~/mpv/shaders/Anime4K_Upscale_CNN_M_x2_Deblur.glsl"

If you want to use the keyboard shortcuts of the readme, the only option is check the Run MPlayer/mpv on its own windows, and edit the config files in mpv folder.

Thank you, after some test, I need to add --vo=gpu first
