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
2.9 (2019-??-??)
- clicking the right top corner in fullscreen 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 diplayed 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 meta data
2.8 (2019-04-12)
- Win 7 dark-mode render issue fix
2.7 (2019-04-12)
- the autofit mpv property was added to the conf editor
- the routine that writes the mpv.conf file in the conf editor was completely rewritten
- the conf editor has a dedicated page for mpv.net specific settings, these settings are saved in the same folder as mpv.conf using mpvnet.conf as filename, the first setting there is dark-mode
- new optional dark theme
2.6 (2019-04-09)
- on Win 7 controls in the conf editor were using a difficult too read too light color
- context menu renderer changed to look like Win 10 design, except colors are still system theme colors
2.5 (2019-04-08)
- in case the input conf don't contain a menu definition mpv.net creates the default menu instead no menu like before
