• Coming soon!

🔍 Mpv Upscalers

• 🎥 Anime4k

  • ✅ Included by default.
  • 🔢 Use CTRL+1 - CTRL+6 to enable shaders.
  • ❌ Use CTRL+0 to disable.

• 🎨 AnimeJaNai

  • ❌ Not included by default.
  • 📥 Download from the Stremio-Desktop-v5 release tab the stremio-animejanai-3.x.x.7z for Stremio and drop the content of the 7z into %localAppData%\Programs\LNV\Stremio-5\ and replace all
    • 🛠️ Changes made:
      • Removed mpvnet.exe as Stremio is used as the player.
      • Adjusted mpv.conf to work with Stremio.
      • Adjusted input.conf to work with Stremio.
  • ⌨️ Possible Keybindings
    • 🎬 CTRL+J Show Upscaler Status
    • 🛠️ CTRL+E Open AnimeJaNai ConfEditor
    • ❌ CTRL+0 Disable Upscaling
    • 🔢 SHIFT+1 - SHIFT+3 Select Quality, Balanced or Performance Profiles
    • ⚙️ CTRL+1 - CTRL+9 Switch between Custom Profiles
    • 🔗 For more, check AnimeJaNai

⏳ Note: When using AnimeJaNai on first playback Stremio will be unresponsive and a console will open to build the model via e.g. TensorRT. 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
  • 🔜 Coming soon!

⏳ Note: Nvidia RTX and Intel VSR Scaling support might take some time as this requires quite a big rewrite to support mpv wid embedding with d3d as current libmpv implementation only supports opengl and this as well will allow for proper hdr support.

🎛️ Mpv Configuration

Enhance your Stremio experience by customizing the MPV player settings. Below are the key configuration files and guidelines to help you get started:

• 📁 mpv.conf Location
  • The mpv.conf file can be found in the following location:
    • Installation Path: %localAppData%\Programs\LNV\Stremio-5\portable_config\mpv.conf
    • Shaders Folder: Located within the installation directory ..\Stremio-5\portable_config\shaders.

⏳ Note: Any other configuration files can be just dropped into %localAppData%\Programs\LNV\Stremio-5\portable_config as this is the mpv config-dir like input.conf

• 🎹 Usage example in input.conf using Anime4k:

⚙️ Start Arguments

Use these extra arguments when launching the application:

Argument	Example	Description
--development		Loads from http://127.0.0.1:11470 instead of https://app.strem.io and does not force start streaming server
--staging		Loads web ui from https://staging.strem.io
--webui-url=	--webui-url=https://web.stremio.com/	Loads web ui from https://web.stremio.com/
--streaming-server		When used with development, it would try to start a streaming server. Default behaviour in prod
--autoupdater-force		Forces Autoupdater to check for a new version
--autoupdater-force-full		Forces Autoupdate to always do a full-update rather than partial
--autoupdater-endpoint=	--autoupdater-endpoint==https://verison.mydomain.com/	Overrides default checking endpoint for the autoupdater

⏳ Note: By default will use as webui-url the stremio-web-shell web-ui hosted here which includes fixes to run smoothly with qt6
