Playback Configuration

ynoTV utilizes the powerful MPV engine for media playback. While the default settings are optimized for a broad range of hardware, you can apply custom flag parameters in Settings > Playback to fine-tune your experience.

Hardware Acceleration

Hardware decoding significantly reduces CPU usage by offloading video processing to your GPU.

Recommended Decoding Flags

# General recommendation: Auto-detects the best available decoder
--hwdec=auto

If “auto” causes stability issues, use these overrides:

Windows (Direct3D)
Nvidia (Performance)

--hwdec=d3d11va
--gpu-api=d3d11

--hwdec=nvdec
--vo=gpu
--gpu-api=vulkan

Optimization Tiers

Tier 1: Essential Stability

Add these flags immediately to improve stream buffering and network resilience:

--vo=gpu                           # High-performance GPU rendering
--cache=yes                        # Enable stream buffering
--demuxer-max-bytes=50MiB          # Buffer 50MB of data ahead
--demuxer-max-back-bytes=10MiB     # Keep 10MB in memory for quick seeks
--network-timeout=10               # Prevent hanging on dead connections
--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0"         # Avoid blocks from strict providers

Tier 2: Stream Reliability

Prevent common IPTV issues like audio drift and connection drops:

--stream-lavf-o=reconnect=1        # Auto-reconnect on drop
--stream-lavf-o=reconnect_streamed=1
--stream-lavf-o=reconnect_delay_max=5
--video-sync=display-resample      # Maintain perfect audio/video sync
--audio-stream-silence=yes         # Prevent clicks during audio underruns
--deinterlace=auto                 # Fix quality on older broadcast content
