mpv-startup-format-logos

Project Overview

mpv-startup-format-logos is an mpv script that pops up format badges for the current video and audio in a corner when playback starts. It recognizes video standards like Dolby Vision, HDR Vivid, and HDR10+, and audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, so you can see a source's specs at a glance. The script is extracted from Yaozhi's mpv bundle and packaged as a standalone component.

One glance at startup tells you exactly what a source is made of.

Key Features

• Video format recognition: Dolby Vision, HDR Vivid, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and SDR
• Audio format recognition: Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Audio Vivid, TrueHD, the DTS-HD family, FLAC, and many more
• Two badge styles: colored badges or transparent white icons
• Smart positioning: auto-detects black bars (including Blu-ray encoded ones) and places badges in the safe area
• Landscape/portrait adaptation: adapts to both orientations
• Multi-track refresh: refreshes the display when audio tracks switch
• Animation and config: fade in/out with adjustable priority, position, scale, and dwell time

Target Audience

• Audiophiles who care about source specs
• Users who want to confirm HDR and audio formats quickly
• Players using an all-in-one mpv bundle
• Advanced users who like visual cues

Quick Start

1. Get the script, config, and badge assets from Yaozhi's mpv bundle
2. Put startup-format-logos.lua into mpv's scripts directory
3. Put startup_format_logos.conf into script-opts
4. Put startup-logo-bounds.lua into script-modules
5. Put the badge image assets into script-assets/startup-format-logos/
6. Play a video and the badges appear at startup; adjust parameters in the config as needed

Core Advantages

• Specs at a glance: no parameter tables needed; you know the source at startup
• Broad recognition: covers mainstream HDR and audio formats including domestic standards
• Thoughtful placement: avoids black bars so badges never cover the picture
• Adjustable: style, position, and duration all follow your preference

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Player	mpv (with Lua script support)
OS	Windows, macOS, Linux
Special note	HDR Vivid and Audio Vivid recognition needs a specially built mpv

Notes

• The script and assets must be extracted from the bundle; copying a single file is not enough
• Accurate HDR Vivid and Audio Vivid recognition depends on a specifically compiled player core
• Restart the player or reload the script after changing the config
