Feature request: add separate functionality for comparison of source vs. encode

[stderr-to-devnull]

Considering that on-the-fly source vs. encode comparison was arguably(?) harder to implement, could this functionality be expanded to a separate option that simply compares a given source to a given encode, with seek, frame type and scaling options?

You can already compare two videos, add the source in the queue and drag and drop the second video in the player area.
I couldn't find a way to display frametype in mpv, and what do you mean with scaling options? mpv scaling algorithm?

Thanks, was not aware I could just do this to compare, the interface does not suggest such operation is possible. I refer to scaling in ffmpeg terminology, meaning resizing options, either by resolution or by percentage. The zoom button only maximizes the video to viewing area and also if the main window is resized the video is not.

Sorry I still don't undertand, you can find the most important encoding options in the botton bar, if you want to edit them manually, switch to the Filter tab

I think the confusion comes from the way I actually try to use Av1ador. I am not encoding with it, I am just trying to use the built-in comparison feature. The resolution choice has no effect on the video size in the player viewport, only the "zoom" button which is basically a maximize toggle of the video (maximize = to cover the whole area of the viewport window).
