MPV screenshot problem ---SOLVED---

I am trying to get mpv screen shots to save to a customized folder.

I have a fresh install of Arch and the few programs I have installed all seem to work ok.

At the moment if I take a screenshot no matter what I have in my mpv.conf the screenshot goes to /tmp and is overwritten if I take another screenshot.

In the mpv.conf I have tried the advice in the Arch Wiki,

This did not work

profile=myprofile      #Top level area, load myprofile
ontop=yes                 #Always on top

 

[myprofile]              #A simple profile, top level area ends here
screenshot-directory=/home/myuser/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots
screenshot-template="%F - [%P] (%#01n)"

The profile shows up correctly if I do -- (or any of the variants to the screenshot directory)

 Put brain in gear before pressing enter-->08:48:04-->Fri Mar 22-->~
-->mpv --show-profile=myprofile
Profile myprofile: 
 screenshot-directory=/home/myuser/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/
 screenshot-template=%F - [%P] (%#01n)
 vo=gpu
 profile=gpu-hq
  profile=high-quality
   scale=ewa_lanczossharp
   hdr-peak-percentile=99.995
   hdr-contrast-recovery=0.30
   deband=yes
 hwdec=auto
 hwdec-codecs=all
 scale=ewa_lanczossharp
 cscale=ewa_lanczossharp
 video-sync=display-resample
 interpolation=
 tscale=oversample
 keepaspect=no
 stop-screensaver=yes
 save-position-on-quit=yes
 ao=pulse
 sub-bold=yes
 audio-device=alsa/iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0'

Altering the screenshot-directory= to

/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots
/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/
Screenshots/mpv-screenshots
Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/

did not work

Just adding

screenshot-directory=/home/myuser/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots
screenshot-template="%F - [%P] (%#01n)"

or any of the variations did not work.

So can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Re: MPV screenshot problem ---SOLVED---

At the moment if I take a screenshot no matter what I have in my mpv.conf the screenshot goes to /tmp and is overwritten if I take another screenshot.

This isn't the default behavior (goes to $PWD and the files are enumerated), there's probably some config overwriting your stuff?
Did you try to start mpv from an interactive shell to see whether there're any errors?
Does an explicit "mpv --profile=myprofile someporn.mp4" work?

Edit: are the files you're trying to shot local or some remote url?

With this in mpv.conf

profile=myprofile       #Top level area, load myprofile
ontop=yes                 #Always on top

[myprofile]              #A simple profile, top level area ends here
screenshot-directory=/home/myuser/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/
screenshot-template="%F - [%P] (%#01n)"

I can start a video from the cli

-->mpv --profile=myprofile '[Cleo]God_Eater_-_01_(Dual Audio_10bit_BD720p_x265).mkv'

The video runs ok. However when I try to take a screenshot I get this

Screenshot: '/tmp/mpv-screenshot.jpeg'                  
Starting subprocess failed: init
Screenshot: '/tmp/mpv-screenshot.jpeg'                   
Starting subprocess failed: init

The screenshot goes to /tmp and gets overwritten as before.

Re: MPV screenshot problem ---SOLVED---

What's not the default behavior (unless it very recently changed)

type mpv
strace mpv '[Cleo]God_Eater_-_01_(Dual Audio_10bit_BD720p_x265).mkv' 2>&1 | grep conf

Hi thanks for your time. I do not understand your reply. Yes my behaviour is definitely not default. ;-)

I tried mpv like this

  Put brain in gear before pressing enter-->10:48:06-->Sat Mar 23-->GodEater
-->mpv --profile=myprofile -v --log-file=./log '[Cleo]God_Eater_-_01_(Dual Audio_10bit_BD720p_x265).mkv'

and found this amongst the output

[cplayer] Setting option 'ontop' = 'yes' (flags = 4)
[cplayer] Setting option 'profile' = 'myprofile' (flags = 8)
[cplayer] Applying profile 'myprofile'...
[cplayer] Setting option 'screenshot-directory' = '/home/myuser/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/' (flags = 12)
[cplayer] Setting option 'screenshot-format' = 'jpg' (flags = 12)
[cplayer] Setting option 'screenshot-template' = '%F - [%P] (%#01n)' (flags = 12)

so it looks like mpv is trying to do the right thing. The screenshots are still going to /tmp.

My problem would seem to lie in some basic setting in the fresh install. I followed the Arch Install guide as closely as I could and only did the bare minimum so am baffled as to what is wrong. ;-(

Re: MPV screenshot problem ---SOLVED---

Mpv is really particular about paths since they are not equivalent with shell paths. "~/" is similar to $HOME whereas "~~home/" is "~/.config/mpv/". (Using shell variables like $HOME in path does not work well in mpv.)

Read the snippet here: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#paths

Thus for your example, the screenshot path should be:

screenshot-directory = ~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/

Re: MPV screenshot problem ---SOLVED---

The OP is providing a canonical, absolute path, though.
Also nothing indicates /tmp and this would also still not explain the filenames.

@abarbarian, does the log show more?

The purpose of the two commands was
a) figure whether mpv is maybe  an alias or a script that overrides the config w/ some commandline switches
b) see what other config files mpv might be opening

b) see what other config files mpv might be opening

a) returns - mpv is /usr/bin/mpv
b) returns - nothing at all no matter where I run it from, ~/ or /GodEater

There is quite a lot of it. ;-)

I changed the path for "screenshot-directory=~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/" but it made no difference.

Re: MPV screenshot problem ---SOLVED---

Do you lack strace "type strace"?
Otherwise this would not be possible.

[cplayer] Setting option 'screenshot-directory' = '~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/' (flags = 12)

Did you just change that or have you always used the "~" alias?

[cplayer] Can't load unknown script: /home/bloodaxe/.config/mpv/scripts/autocrop.lua.resting

What referneces that?

What are the outputs of

stat ~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/
cat /home/bloodaxe/.local/state/mpv/watch_later/54C8F0CFB8711B2D14497FE9955A484E

I did not have strace installed. Installed it and I got tons of output.

I have some lua scripts installed which all seemed to work ok before. One in particular for screenshots this was installed before I knew that mpv had an inbuilt option.  I took this particular lua script out and also changed the mpv.conf, deleted the myuser profile. So now this only contains,

screenshot-directory=~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/
screenshot-format=jpg
screenshot-template="%F (%#01n)"

Now pressing " s " gets me a screenshot with subs in ~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/, also pressing " S " (capital S) gets me a screenshot without subs in ~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/.

So the problem is solved.

screenshot-directory=~/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/
screenshot-directory=/home/anyuser/Screenshots/mpv-screenshots/

Both work.

Many thanks for all your efforts I could not have solved this without your help. ;-)
