--cdrom-device=<path>
Specify the CD-ROM device (default: ``/dev/cdrom``).
--channels=<number>
--channels=<number|layout>
Request the number of playback channels (default: 2). mpv asks the
decoder to decode the audio into as many channels as specified. Then it is
up to the decoder to fulfill the requirement. This is usually only
important when playing videos with AC-3 audio (like DVDs). In that case
liba52 does the decoding by default and correctly downmixes the audio into
the requested number of channels. To directly control the number of output
channels independently of how many channels are decoded, use the channels
filter (``--af=channels``).
important when playing videos with AC-3, AAC or DTS audio. In that case
libavcodec downmixes the audio into the requested number of channels if
possible.
*NOTE*: This option is honored by codecs (AC-3 only), filters (surround)
and audio output drivers (OSS at least).
Available options are:
The ``--channels`` option either takes a channel number or an explicit
channel layout. Channel numbers refer to default layouts, e.g. 2 channels
refer to stereo, 6 refers to 5.1.
:2: stereo
:4: surround
:6: full 5.1
:8: full 7.1
See ``--channels=help`` output for defined default layouts. This also
lists speaker names, which can be used to express arbitrary channel
layouts (e.g. ``fl-fr-lfe`` is 2.1).
--chapter=<start[-end]>
Specify which chapter to start playing at. Optionally specify which
