Patch list:
- **use_xsel** is a patch that reduces the latency of clipboard transactions, making it smoother while properly managing the memory. <br>
xsel has been around since 2001, and it's stable and has less dependencies than xclip, not to mention the compelling group of devs.
[xclip flaws](https://web.archive.org/web/20240712181840/https://zwyx.dev/til/2023/01/12/xclip%20and%20xsel)
how to use:
download the patch file to the base directory of mpvacious, which may be ```~/.config/mpv/scripts/sub2srs/``` <br>
and run the following command:
``` shell
$ patch -p1 < use_xsel.patch
```
- **force-japanese** is pretty straightforward, it forces mpv to play in japanese. <br></br>
This is useful when encoders tend to give english priority, instead of the original language, and when mpv.conf doesn't work properly. <br></br>
In my experience tweaking the mpv dotfiles weren't enough to make sure that japanese was the default language to play media in mpv.
