A modified Python HTTP server can be downloaded [here](http://www.mediafire.com/file/6tmwdjsfknhmsxy/play-with-mpvnet-server.7z/file), Python is embedded so it don't has to be installed. When the built in file association registration was executed then the server will probably find the location of mpv.net, if not it might help to add the mpv.net folder to the PATH environment variable of the current user, a reboot should not be required, only a restart of the server, if it don't help then please contact support. The chrome extension works only when the server is running so it makes sense to start the server on system start, to achieve this a link can be created in the auto start folder located at: + +`C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup` + ## 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.
