Reduces MPV cache for streams by increasing playback speed. It meant to work with Twitch through Streamlink. I find this setup has a few hundred milliseconds lower latency than the Twitch web player.
Copy related folders to your MPV config folder ~/.config/mpv
.
In ./script-opts/reduce_stream_cache.conf
, you can adjust when to start and stop speeding up the playback. The default configuration is quite aggressive, and it works fine on a wired stable Internet connection. But if you or your streamer have an unstable Internet connection, consider increasing enable_faster_speed_over_cache_seconds
to prevent often speed changes. Or turn off this script with a
shortcut.
MPV has its own low-latency
profile. But the profile below has lower latency in my setup.
# ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf [stream] demuxer-lavf-o-add="fflags=+nobuffer+fastseek+flush_packets" cache=no deband=no dither-depth=no scale=bilinear cscale=bilinear dscale=bilinear scale-antiring=0 cscale-antiring=0 dither-depth=no correct-downscaling=no sigmoid-upscaling=noStart a stream with Streamlink.
streamlink twitch.tv/twitch \ best \ -p "mpv" \ --player-args="--profile='stream' --script-opts='enable-stream-cache-reduction=true'" \ --title="stream-twitch" \ --twitch-low-latency \ --twitch-disable-ads \ --ringbuffer-size=256M
You can put it in the gnome extension or modify the play-with-mpv Chrome extension to your liking.
If you use the MPV profile that disables cache, you won't be able to seek the video stream. As a workaround, you can record the stream to /tmp/
and open the recorded video with a shortcut.
streamlink twitch.tv/twitch \ best \ -p "mpv" \ --player-args="--profile='stream' --script-opts='enable-stream-cache-reduction=true'" \ --title="stream-twitch" \ --twitch-low-latency \ --twitch-disable-ads \ --ringbuffer-size=256M \ --record="/tmp/stream-twitch.mp4" \ --force
Then pressing '
will open the recorded video. See ./script-opts/stream_replay.conf
for configuration.
