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
