## Screenshot settings

mpvRx can save PNG, JPEG, and supported WebP output. Settings include lossy quality, PNG compression, WebP lossless mode, filename template, and whether rendered subtitles are included.

Native mpv capture is attempted first. Compatible formats can fall back to an Android image conversion path when native output is unavailable.

Screenshots are saved under the Pictures media collection in the `mpvSnaps` folder on modern Android versions.

## Filename placeholders

| Placeholder | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `%Y` | Four-digit year |
| `%m` | Month |
| `%d` | Day |
| `%H` | Hour |
| `%M` | Minute |
| `%S` | Second |
| `%f` | Source filename with extension |
| `%F` | Source filename without extension |
| `%P` | Playback position as `HH:MM:SS.mmm` |
| `%p` | Playback position as `HH:MM:SS` |
| `%wH` | Playback-position hours |
| `%wM` | Playback-position minutes |
| `%wS` | Playback-position seconds |
| `%wT` | Playback-position milliseconds |

Default template:

```text
mpv_snapshot_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S
```

Invalid filename characters are replaced, excess whitespace is normalized, and generated names are capped to a safe length.

## Frame Review snapshots

Frame Review can capture the exact reviewed position and independently choose subtitle inclusion. See [Precision playback tools](/docs/playback/precision-playback-tools).

## Media information

The media information view organizes parsed metadata by kind:

- Container/general details and system path
- Video, audio, text/subtitle, image, and other tracks
- Programs, timecode tracks, and MKV attachments
- Raw MediaInfo report

Images and embedded cover art receive image-specific fields such as resolution, format, bit depth, color space, compression, and orientation. Tap a value to open its complete selectable text and copy it without truncation.

Use the Raw tab when preparing a codec/container report, but review paths, titles, server URLs, and tags for private information before sharing it.
