You will need to wait until the console closes for playback to start. This happens only once per model. - 🚀 **Nvidia RTX and Intel VSR Scaling** - ✅ Supported by using `mpv.conf`. - ✍️ Modify in `%localAppData%\Programs\LNV\Stremio-5\` the ``portable_config/mpv.conf`` and add the line ``vf=d3d11vpp=scale=2:scaling-mode=nvidia`` more details [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1foyl4n/mpv_player_v0390_adds_rtx_video_super_resolution/) ## 🔍 **Mpv Addons** - 🎥 **[ThumbFast](https://github.com/po5/thumbfast)** - 🔧 Go in the `Stremio-Dekstop-v5` Repo to ``utils/mpv/thumbfast`` or [direct-link](https://github.com/Zaarrg/stremio-desktop-v5/tree/webview-windows/utils/mpv/thumbfast) and download ``thumbfast.7z``.
