Startup options to select config

Startup options to configure mpv

Switch configurations

• Disable user config >> uses built-in config: --no-config

  • Files explicitly requested with --include or --use-filedir-conf, will still be loaded.

• Change the config directory, all other configuration directories are ignored: --config-dir=<path>

  • Force the config directory, ! --no-config has precedence.

Mpv conf

• Specify configuration file to be parsed after the default ones: --include=myconfig.conf
  • can be used to split mpv.conf into multiple files.
  • can be used with --no-config

Key bindings

• Override Key binding configuration file: --input-conf=filename.conf
• Disables the built-in key bindings: --no-input-builtin-bindings
• Disables weak key bindings (built-in key bindings + keys which scripts bind using mp.add_key_binding): --no-input-default-bindings
  • doesn't affect mp.add_forced_key_binding because this overrides input.conf.

Scripts

• Disable auto-loading scripts from the scripts folder: --no-load-scripts
• Manually load scripts: --scripts=debug.dll;file2.lua;...

Script-opts

• ex: script-opts/btime.conf, ! syntax (filename and inside the conf file)
• Override script parameter values: --script-opts=key1=value1,key2=value2,...
• script-opts-append=key1=value1,key2=value2
• input command: cycle-values script-opts key1=value1
