# mpv.net

mpv.net is a libmpv based media player for Windows, it looks and works like mpv and also shares the same settings as mpv and therefore the mpv documentation applies.

mpv and mpv.net have a learning curve.

### Changelog

### 3.0 (20??-??-??)

### 2.9 (2019-04-16)

- clicking the right top corner in full screen mode
  closes the player but it did not work on all displays
- the info display was changed to display the filename on top
  so it's not displayed in the middle of the screen
- on start up of the conf editor all text is now selected in the
  search text box so it's ready for a new search to be typed
- the conf editor was changed to write the settings to disk
  only if the settings were actually modified, also the message
  that says that the settings will be available on next start
  is now only shown if the settings were actually modified.
- there was an instance in the context menu where the sub menu
  arrow was overlapping with the text
- in the input editor when only one character is entered in the
  search text box the search is performed only in the input and
  not in the command or menu
- in the input editor the routine that generates the input string
  was completely rewritten because it was adding Shift where it
  wasn't necessary (it took a huge amount of time to implement)
- the context menu has a new track menu where the active track
  can be seen and selected, it shows video, audio and subtitle
  tracks with various metadata. [Menu default definition](https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Resources/input.conf.txt#L104).
  The screenshots were updated showing the [new track menu](https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net#screenshots).
