• Version: 1.0.10
• Last Updated (AEST): 2023-02-10 04:45:17PM
• Platform: Windows 11 (not tested on Apple or Linux at all)

What's New

Version 1.0.10 (Feb 2023):

• Rewrote mpv_v3\mpv.conf and mpv_v3\input.conf (adapted from the repo Argon-/mpv-config)
• Vastly improved terminal, OSD, audio, subtitle, playback and playlist settings

⚠️ Be sure to customize mpv_v3\mpv.conf and mpv_v3\input.conf manually, to make sure that the font and language are valid ⚠️

The defaults are:

• Arial for the subtitle font
• en,eng (English) for the audio and subtitle languages

See HISTORY.md for the history of older versions.

• I've personally switched to MPV v3 since the Windows app and updater.bat has problems for v2
• I've added a vastly better mpv v3 config file tested on MPV v3 for Windows

Intro

This is an improved MPV Media Player v3 configuration file that:

• has useful defaults
• auto-hides the cursor after 200ms (when fullscreen)
• disables autoplay
• enables fast seeking
• improves OSD messages and style (moves progress bar to the top)
• saves the seekbar position on exit
• sets max volume (100%) and default volume (70%)
• sets subtitle font to Arial and sets the color to off-yellow
• sets the HLS bitrate to maximum
• sets the default audio language and subtitle language to en,eng
• has been tested on Windows 11 only (not tested on Apple or Linux)
• adds no additional cruft...

Requirements

• official MPV Player: https://mpv.io/ - download MPV v3
• a PC with at least 4GB of RAM (8GB or more recommended)
• a PC with integrated (CPU) or discreet GPU (card)
