Not sure if the shaders are working

[Lorograch1]

Hi,

I followed the instructions and tweaked a little bit as provided in my mpv.config below. However, I am unsure if the shaders are enabled while playing a video except for Krig. Here's the screenshot of a 1080p video for your reference. Please advice. Thank you.

Note: I have placed the shaders folder containing the relevant shaders in mpv folder itself where the mpv.config is also present and hence the change in the glsl path.

With the recent updates to mpv v0.37, I updated the config file and shaders and tested them on MacOS 14.1 with libplacebo and MoltenVK.

I confirmed that the shaders are properly invoked using "I" then "2".

Please let me know if you find any issues with v0.2 release of the new config and shaders.
