Stuttering problem on Manjaro #6117

Closed crabdancing closed 5 years ago

My friend is having trouble with her laptop playing back 1080p videos with MPV. They play alright in VLC, but in MPV there is stuttering and lag.

uname -a: Linux turqoise 4.14.67-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 24 16:33:26 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is the ffprobe output of file in question (though this problem extends to many files -- almost any 1080p video). And here is the MPV log file.

Some potentially relevant software versions on her machine:

vlc 3.0.3.r1-2
mpv 1:0.29.0-1 (via 
syncplay 1.5.6.Beta2-1
ffmpeg 1:4.0.2-2

Seems like your GPU is too old/slow to run mpv’s default video output. You can try --vo=vdpau or --vo=xv instead, both of which have drawbacks but might work better on old machines.

@lachs0r The first one caused A/V desync, and the second one caused even worse stuttering... any other ideas?
