== Installation ==
# Mount SVP 4 Mac DMG image
# Move "SVP 4 Mac" icon into Applications
# Run SVP, it will ask to run an installation script if needed.
# Alternatively, you can run the script later: SVP menu -> Utilities -> Reinstall mpv in Homebrew

== Updating ==

Updating SVP app:

# Download an [https://www.svp-team.com/get/ updated DMG package]
# Mount it and replace SVP 4 Mac.app in Applications
# That's it! <font color="red">You DON'T need to run '''Install mpv.command''' when updating SVP!</font>

Updating mpv to the newer version: open Terminal and type
 brew upgrade mpv

== Uninstall ==

To remove SVP simply delete the SVP 4 Mac.app from Applications. 

Additionally if you want to remove all the Homebrew packages including mpv video player run this command from the Terminal:
 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"

Note that it will remove EVERYTHING from Homebrew, not only mpv dependencies.

== Manual installation ==

* Take at least macOS 12 "Monterey" or later.
* Install [http://brew.sh/ Homebrew]:
 <nowiki>/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"</nowiki>
Note that on Apple M1 systems this will install native ARM binaries into /opt/homebrew. You can either add /opt/homebrew/bin/ to your PATH, or call '/opt/homebrew/bin/brew' instead of simple 'brew' in the following commands.
* Install '''mpv''' (this will also automatically install '''Vapoursynth''') (<font color="red">DO NOT install it via 'brew install --cask mpv' !</font>):

 brew install mpv

'''Note:''' this step is '''essential''' even if you don't want to use '''mpv''' at all.

== Alternate installation via MacPorts ==

Use this method if you are still on macOS 11 or earlier OR just don't like Homebrew ;)

=== Prebuilt mpv package ===

<font color='red'>!!! DO NOT INSTALL THIS if you're using MacPorts already! Go to the next section and just install mpv in your existing MacPorts installation.</font>

Just install our [https://www.svp-team.com/files/gpl/mpv-0.37.0_2.mpkg prebuilt mpv 0.37], and you're good to go. Works with macOS 10.15 "Catalina" or later.

=== Full MacPorts installation ===

* Install full Xcode from the App store, run it for the first time, accept user agreement, install whatever it wants to install.
* [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.html Install MacPorts]
* Install mpv:
 sudo port install mpv +vapoursynth +libmpv

This will install everything into /opt/local - i.e. /opt/local/bin/mpv.

Problems:
* mpv 0.38 won't build on Big Sur or earlier. It's possible to [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort install previous version] such as mpv 0.37 instead:
 sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/rst2man-3.12 /opt/local/bin/rst2man-3.12.py
 git clone --single-branch https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git
 cd macports-ports
 git checkout 772d1aa5a7c314db69fa709e04d37e7025467b40
 cd multimedia/mpv
 sudo port install +vapoursynth

== Apple M1+ (Apple Silicon, ARM64) systems ==

Though SVP 4 Mac is an Intel application, it fully supports native ARM video players.

== mpv configuration ==

Just add '''--input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket''' to mpv args (or config file, usually located in '''~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf''') and SVP should find it.
 # create ~/.config/mpv directory for the first time
 mpv --version  
 echo "input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket" >> ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf


Alternatively you can "open" video file via SVP - it'll launch '''mpv''' with the correct argument, assuming that '''mpv''' is actually installed either in $PATH or in '''/usr/local/bin''' (you can also define the actual path in SVP's settings - see '''main.setup.player''' and '''main.setup.player_args''' values).

'''Note:''' only "copy-back" hardware video decoders are compatible with Vapoursynth filters, use '''--hwdec=auto-copy'''.

'''Recommended minimal mpv.conf''':
 input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket
 hwdec-codecs=all
 hwdec=auto-copy
 opengl-early-flush=no
 hr-seek-framedrop=no

== VLC configuration ==

SVP's plugin for VLC replaces the "deinterlace" filter.

Install SVP's plugin via '''SVP main menu -> Utilities -> SVP in VLC'''.

'''macOS 12 Ventura''' or later: you have to allow SVP to modify apps on your Mac - go to System settings -> Privacy & security -> App Management and turn it on for SVP 4 Mac.<br/>
[[Image:Ventura-privacy.png]]

Then you'll be able to quickly "install" and "uninstall" SVP's plugin.

You must turn on deinterlace in VLC via '''Video -> Deinterlace -> On''' to start using SVP's plugin.
Alternatively you can turn it on permanently: '''Tools -> Preferences -> Video -> Deinterlacing''' = '''On'''
