# 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

### 2.3 (2019-04-04)

- dragging a youtube URL on mpv.net would still break something, it should work now
- when the main window gets focus/activation it will check the clibboard for a YouTube video and ask to play it
- libmpv updated
- changing to normal size from fullscreen resulted in a too large window in some circumstances
- some default key bindings and menu structure have changed and the input.conf file has a description added on top <https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Resources/input.conf.txt>
- the file association code was completely rewriten, it's now contained within mpvnet.exe instead of a separate application and it adds a few more keys
- various new info added to the wiki: <https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/wiki>
- On Top feature was implemented using mpv's native property 'ontop', default bindings at: <https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Resources/input.conf.txt>

### 2.2 (2019-04-01)

- messages boxes had always the info icon even if a different icon (error, warning, question) was intended
- instead of silently do nothing on unknown commands there is now a error message listing available commands and showing the location of the default bindings, this helps when commands are removed or renamed
- there was a problem fixed that made the cursor hidden when it should be visible
- dragging a youtube URL on mpv.net would break certain input related features
- there is now an installer with file extension registration (limited on Win 10) available
- WM_APPCOMMAND media keys were not working in the input (shortcut) editor and there were no defaults for prev and next defined
