Topic: Possible use SVP without SVP Manager running?

Is it possible to run SVP (using MPV) without the SVP Manager always running?

It's easy enough to open and close the manager as needed, but it would be nice to just configure my settings once and then not need to use the manager every time I want to play a video.

Re: Possible use SVP without SVP Manager running?

You can generate a script file through SVP, and use that with a keypress in SVP. But, SVP has a hardcoded feature that any video running its dlls but without running the manager will have a red frame (see my attachment).

For Youtube videos this is not much of an issue, but if you watch a movie or TV show, it is very annoying.

You can do this using mpv. I've done this in the past.
Simply generate a vapoursynth python script by running a similar resolution+bitrate+framerate video.
In my Linux system it's generated in this directory. /home/myusername/.local/share/SVP4/scripts

Just add this either in CLI(with --) or in config file

vf-add=vapoursynth=/path/to/your/svp-script.py

And you're done !
