invert colors toggle

[Zedroid]

I do not know where to add video filters to negate the luma in the config files
i am not sure whether to edit mpvnet or mpv config

[Zedroid]

$ cat ~/.config/mpv/input.conf
I cycle-values vf "sub,lavfi=negate" ""
how do i do this for windows to add a toggle?

i am able to use --vf=lavfi=[negate] in mpv conf
ok sorry nevermind I replaced I with k and pasted it in the input conf

it was already used for something else in mpv.net so that was why it did not work

You inverted all planes including luma and chroma.

negate the luma

vf toggle negate=components=y

Thank you so much @hooke007 ! I just wanted dark mode for watching online lectures. Your improvement is perfect! I can keep the other colors now.

sorry it says changing filters failed when i added it in my input conf
i tried adding it to mpv conf as well

[Zedroid]

k cycle-values vf negate=components=y does nothing but it just says video filters: negate [components=y]

update: i saw your reddit post and did this to make it work now thanks https://www.reddit.com/r/mpv/comments/ut55hu/comment/i97om9v/
vf=lutyuv=y=negval in my mpv.conf
k cycle-values vf=lutyuv=y=negval in my input.conf

update 2:
ok I saw your comment below me. I didnt know a key was supposed to be there so now I put this in input.conf and nothing in mpv.conf and toggling works
k vf toggle lutyuv=y=negval

What I wrote is <key> vf toggle <filtername> not <key> cycle-values vf=<filtername>

Read the previous link I post first and then check https://mpv.io/manual/master/#command-interface-cycle-values .
The stynax of input.conf is diff from mpv.conf.

In input.conf:

• vf could be the independent command, so does cycle-values. e.g. <key> vf set <filter>
• vf could be the name behind the other commands, e.g. <key> set vf <filter>
  https://mpv.io/manual/master/#command-interface-set-%3Cname%3E-%3Cvalue%3E

In mpv.conf:
vf is just a filter-option, which could only be combined with those Suffixes. e.g. vf-set=<filter>
