Mpv.conf overwrtitten on plex app launch

OS: Windows 10
Plex Player version: 1.3.1.2347-2bc369d3

Every time I try to add something to the mpv.conf file it gets overwritten on launch.

This exact conf used to work completely fine with the normal windows plex app.

hwdec = yes
scale = spline36
cscale = spline36
dscale = spline36

hwdec is overridden by the corresponding checkbox in the settings menu.

The other 3 are overridden by the “Video Playback Quality” in the settings menu.
The corrresponding settings of the playback quality are as follows:

Low:
scale:               bilinearrmal
cscale:              bilinearrmal
dscale:              bilinearrmal
dither-depth:        normal
correct-downscaling: normal
linear-downscaling:  normal
sigmoid-upscaling:   normal
deband:              normal

Normal:
scale:               spline36
cscale:              spline36
dscale:              spline36
dither-depth:        no
correct-downscaling: no
linear-downscaling:  no
sigmoid-upscaling:   no
deband:              no

High:
scale:               spline36
cscale:              spline36
dscale:              mitchell
dither-depth:        auto
correct-downscaling: yes
linear-downscaling:  yes
sigmoid-upscaling:   yes
deband:              yes

Max:
scale               ewa_lanczossharp
cscale              ewa_lanczossharp
dscale              ewa_lanczossharp
dither-depth        auto
correct-downscaling yes
linear-downscaling  yes
sigmoid-upscaling   yes
deband              yes

I am unable to find the “Video Playback Quality” anywhere in the settings menu.

Oops, sorry!
This setting actually only exists in Plex for Windows/Mac at this time.
It might come to the HTPC app as well, though.

Anyway to manually set it in the HTPC app for now?
The windows non HTPC app is extremely annoying to navigate with a remote.

Not that I know of.
Do you have evidence that HTPC is using anything other than what is listed in the “Normal” profile?

I could see bilinear adding aliasing when scaling SD content, but there is no need for any further help the HTPC plex app was updated with the options now ! Thanks guys!
