• youtube-dl was updated
• libmpv was updated to shinchiro 2019-08-04

5.1

• startup folder and config folder being identical was causing a critical issue as mpv.net was loading extensions twice and scripts four times, now identical folders are no longer permitted

• changing from maximized to fullscreen did not work
• the search field in the config editor was not always remembered

• mpv.conf preview feature added to config editor, it previews the mpv.conf content
• in the entire project the term addon was replaced with the term extension, unfortunately this will break user extensions. The reason for this drastic change is that there exist too many different terms, addons, addins, extensions, modules, packages etc.. mpv.net follows Google Chrome as the worlds most popular extendable app, Chrome uses the term Extension.
• a thread synchronization bug was fixed, the shutdown thread was aborted if it was running more than 3 seconds, this caused the rating extension to fail if it was waiting for a drive to wake up
• a new JavaScript was included to show the playlist with a smaller font size, the script is located at startup/scripts
• terminal support added using mpvnet.com !
• script engine performance and error handling was improved
• the scripting wiki page was improved
• the C# scripting host extension was converted from VB to C# because it's not only used for hosting but I also use it now to code and debug script code

• there was a exception fixed that happened opening rar files
• instead of using the OS theme color there are now default colors for dark-color and light-color

4.7.7

• on Win 7 the theme color was hardcoded to DarkSlateGrey because WPF was returning a bad color on Win 7, this was fixed by reading the theme color from the Registry on Win 7. If the theme color is identical to the background color it's corrected
• dark-color setting was added to overwrite the OS theme color used in dark mode, find the setting on the General tab
• light-color setting was added to overwrite the OS theme color used in non dark mode, find the setting on the General tab
• various changes regarding input handling, multi media keys and mouse forward/backward were successfully tested
• it's now possible to use a custom folder as config folder, A TaskDialog shows five options: 1. appdata mpv.net, 2. appdata mpv (shared with mpv), 3. portable_config, 4. startup, 5. custom
• slightly increased startup performance, start-threshold setting added. Threshold in milliseconds to wait for libmpv returning the video resolution before the window is shown, otherwise default dimensions are used as defined by autofit and start-size. Default: 1500
• autofit-smaller setting added. Minimum window height in percent. Default: 40%
• autofit-larger setting added. Maximum window height in percent. Default: 75%

4.7.3

• fix cursor showing load activity on startup

4.7.1

• few layout problems were fixed, autosize for instance did not work

• in the learn window of the input editor underscores were stripped because they have a special meaning in WPF labels

• libmpv was updated to shinchiro 2019-07-07
• when border is none it wasn't possible to minimize the window from the task bar because this is the WinForms default behavier. This was fixed by calling Spy++ to the rescue and adding WS_MINIMIZEBOX in CreateParams

4.6

• fix for middle mouse button not working
• fix of logo overlay using a huge amount of memory (thx for the ghacks article)
• fix config dialog showing a message about app restart without reason
• when multiple files are selected in Windows File Explorer and enter is pressed, the files are opened as selected, the order is random though because Explorer starts multiple mpv.net processes concurrently
• libmpv was updated to shinchiro 2019-06-30
• the mpv.conf defaults were changed to show a larger OSC
• in case a file is opened that has a aspect ratio smaller then 1.2 then the window size will use a aspect ratio of 1.8
