# MPV Advanced Configuration

MPV running inside Plex and Plex Media Player can be specially configured via an `mpv.conf` file in this same directory. Directives added to this file will be read by the MPV library when the application starts. For information on what can be added to this file, please see [the manual](https://mpv.io/manual/master/).

## Overridden Directives

To facilitate the normal operation of Plex and Plex Media Player and settings the user can configure in the UI, some settings in the `mpv.conf` file will be overridden by the application. These include:

- `audio-client-name`
- `demuxer-lavf-probe-info`
- `demuxer-mkv-probe-start-time`
- `demuxer-seekable-cache`
- `gpu-hwdec-interop`
- `title`
- `tls-verify`
- `vo`
- `aid`
- `sid`
- `deinterlace`
- `speed`
- `sub-font-size`
- `sub-text-color`
- `sub-text-border-color`
- `sub-align-x`
- `sub-align-y`
- `sub-delay`
- `volume`
- `audio-exclusive`
- `audio-device`
- `audio-spdif`
- `audio-channels`
- `audio-normalize-downmix`
- `audio-delay`
- `video-aspect`
- `keepaspect`
- `panscan`
- `demuxer-max-bytes`
- `demuxer-max-back-bytes`
