[Feature Request] MPV: Directly edit mpv.conf & inputs.conf

[versedwildcat]

The ability to directly pass options and set custom keybindings to MPV is very useful if you want to customize your viewing experience.

Adding an option to mpv.conf is also the only way to playback 10bit videos using MPV on Android currently. (See this issue)

Thanks and on congrats 0.6!

While I don't have issues playing 10bit content (except for h264 10bit which is always problematic...) there is already a way to edit the mpv.conf file.

Using your computer or an app (to browse the files on your phone) you should be able to find the config in this location: <internal/external storage>/Android/data/dev.jdtech.jellyfin/files/mpv/
There you can edit the mpv.conf and add an inputs.conf file.

However I can't guarantee that everything you enter in the config will work since mpv is using a stripped down version of ffmpeg.
But vf=format=yuv420p should work I think :)

Your method worked great!
I had no idea it was possible to access an app's data over USB. I recall seeing mostly empty folders (because you couldn't view the contents)

Also I should mention that I was in fact talking about h264 10bit, which normally doesn't work on neither HW or SW decoding.

I'll leave the issue open as a feature request.

Thanks!

Simpler option would be to have text edit field in findroid option that passes options to mpv as it was config file (with mpv_set_option_string, since it's how mpv does it basically).

Any timeline on adding the input and mpv inline editing option in the app?
