Video settings

# Start in fullscreen mode by default.
#fs=yes

# force starting with centered window
#geometry=50%:50%

# don't allow a new window to have a size larger than 90% of the screen size
#autofit-larger=90%x90%

# Do not close the window on exit.
#keep-open=yes

# Do not wait with showing the video window until it has loaded. (This will

# resize the window once video is loaded. Also always shows a window with
# audio.)
#force-window=immediate

# Disable the On Screen Controller (OSC).
#osc=no

# Keep the player window on top of all other windows.
#ontop=yes

# Specify high quality video rendering preset (for --vo=gpu only)
# Can cause performance problems with some drivers and GPUs.
#profile=gpu-hq

# Force video to lock on the display's refresh rate, and change video and audio
# speed to some degree to ensure synchronous playback - can cause problems
# with some drivers and desktop environments.
#video-sync=display-resample

# Enable hardware decoding if available. Often, this does not work with all
# video outputs, but should work well with default settings on most systems.
# If performance or energy usage is an issue, forcing the vdpau or vaapi VOs
# may or may not help.
#hwdec=auto

Audio settings

# Specify default audio device. You can list devices with: --audio-device=help
# The option takes the device string (the stuff between the '...').
#audio-device=alsa/default

# Do not filter audio to keep pitch when changing playback speed.
#audio-pitch-correction=no

# Output 5.1 audio natively, and upmix/downmix audio with a different format.
#audio-channels=5.1
# Disable any automatic remix, _if_ the audio output accepts the audio format.
# of the currently played file. See caveats mentioned in the manpage.
# (The default is "auto-safe", see manpage.)
#audio-channels=auto

Other settings

# Pretend to be a web browser. Might fix playback with some streaming sites,
# but also will break with shoutcast streams.
#user-agent="Mozilla/5.0"

stop-screensaver = "yes"

sub-auto=fuzzy

# cache settings
#
# Use 150MB input cache by default. The cache is enabled for network streams only.
#cache-default=153600
#
# Use 150MB input cache for everything, even local files.
#cache=153600
#
# Disable the behavior that the player will pause if the cache goes below a
# certain fill size.
#cache-pause=no
#
# Read ahead about 5 seconds of audio and video packets.
#demuxer-readahead-secs=5.0
#
# Raise readahead from demuxer-readahead-secs to this value if a cache is active.
#cache-secs=50.0

# Display English subtitles if available.
#slang=en

# Play Finnish audio if available, fall back to English otherwise.
#alang=fi,en

# Change subtitle encoding. For Arabic subtitles use 'cp1256'.
# If the file seems to be valid UTF-8, prefer UTF-8.
# (You can add '+' in front of the codepage to force it.)
#sub-codepage=cp1256
