## About mpv.net

mpv.net is a modern media player for Windows. mpv is similar to VLC not based on DirectShow like MPC, mpv.net is based on libmpv which in return is based on ffmpeg.

libmpv provides the majority of the features of the mpv media player, a fork of mplayer. mpv focuses on the usage of the command line interface, mpv.net retains the ability to be used from the command line and adds a modern GUI on top of it.

mpv.net is meant to be a small single person project, it's designed to be mpv compatible, can use the same settings as mpv and offers almost all mpv features because they are all contained in libmpv, this means the official [mpv manual](https://mpv.io/manual/master/) fully applies to mpv.net.

### Target Audience

The target audience of mpv.net are Windows programmers and users that need something more advanced than common media players.

Furthermore mpv.net is well suited for Windows users who are interested to learn about the Linux operating system and portable apps, even though mpv.net self is not portable.

## Requirements

mpv.net is based on the .NET Framework and requires Windows 7 as minimum version of the Windows operating system. As of the writing of this manual the minimum required .NET Framework version is 4.7.2.

For optimal results a modern graphics card is recommended.

## Installation

mpv.net is available as setup and as portable download in the 7zip and zip archive format, to unpack the portable download 7zip can be used, it is available at www.7-zip.org.

If you are new to mpv.net the portable download is recommended, for regular mpv.net users the setup is typically more easy to use.

The x64 editions require more memory and have the advantage of decoders being typically first and better optimized for x64.

x86 should though still be well supported and work.

### File Associations

File Associations can be created using the setup or from within the apps context menu under 'Tools > Manage File Associations'.

Windows 10 prevents apps to register as the default app, to define the default video or audio player app in Windows 10 go to the Windows settings under 'Settings > Apps > Default apps' or shell execute 'ms-settings:defaultapps'.

It's also possible to change the default application using the Open With feature of the context menu in Windows File Explorer.

## Context Menu

The most important part of the user interface in mpv.net is the context menu, the menu can be customized as it is defined in the same file where the key bindings are defined.

### Open > Open Files

The Open Files menu entry is one way to open files in mpv.net, it supports multi selection.

Another way to open files is the command line, it is used by the Windows File Explorer if file associations exist.

A third way is to drag and drop files on the main window.

Whenever the control key is pressed when files are opened, the playlist is not cleared but the files are appended to the playlist.

### Open > Open URL

The Open URL menu entry can be used to open URLs for example from YouTube.

mpv.net monitors the Windows clipboard and ask if URLs should be played in case it finds a URL in the clipboard. This feature uses a keyword whitelist that can be configured in the config editor. 

Whenever the control key is pressed when URLs are opened, the playlist is not cleared but the URLs are appended to the playlist.

### Open > Show media search

mpv.net supports system wide media searches using the Everything indexing service installed by the popular file search tool Everything (www.voidtools.com).

### Open > Load external audio files

Allows to load an external audio file. It's also possible to auto detect external audio files based on the file name, the option for this can be found in the settings under 'Settings > Show Config Editor > Audio > audio-file-auto'.

### Open > Load external subtitle files

## Command Line Interface

mpvnet implements a basic CLI to set mpv commands.

Example:

mpvnet --mute=yes <file|URL>

## Settings

mpv.net is able to share the settings with mpv and mpv.net uses the same logic to decide from where the settings are loaded. The default location is:

```Text
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\mpv\mpv.conf
```

If a directory named portable_config next to the mpvnet.exe exists, all config will be loaded from this directory only.

```Text
<startup>\portable_config\mpv.conf
```

In case there isn't any config folder mpv.net asks where to create it. If no mpv.conf file exists mpv.net generates it with the following defaults:

<https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Resources/mpvConf.txt>

Config files located in the same directory as mpvnet.exe are loaded with lower priority. Some config files are loaded only once, which means that e.g. of 2 input.conf files located in two config directories, only the one from the directory with higher priority will be loaded.

The key bindings and the context menu definitions are stored in the input.conf file,
if it's missing mpv.net generates it with the following defaults:
