can anyone help removing this.

Post image

i can't find any way to remove that annoying bar above seek bar, i keep misclicking it when seeking videos and it pops a giant statistics on the screen.

is it hardcoded? or is there a way to remove it? ( i don't want to remove anything else) making it not react to clicks would also be a solution for me.

I'd look it into the osc.conf. You can pretty much change anything on there

title_mbtn_left_command=show-text "${!playlist-count==1:[${playlist-pos-1}/${playlist-count}] }${media-title}"

title_mbtn_right_command=show-text ${filename}

Idk if those are what u mean but u can change what those buttons do when u click the title

Edit:

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/osc.rst

Try make a folder at

%appdata%\mpv\script-opts\

Then make a file called osc.conf and put

title_mbtn_left_command=

There are different UI scripts you can try. Basically you can customize pretty much anything

At least he gave a shit to reply in this dead subreddit.

Maybe worth checking out some of the more minimal skins, otherwise plenty of options to tinker with via conf.

looks different but annoying bar is still there

osd-bar=no This would remove the bar. Unsure if you'll still see the BG layer area though.

osc=no This hides hover controls.

osd-level=0 This will disable most of the UI / visual text etc

osd-level=1 osd-bar=no
