Download

Stable releases can be downloaded from the Release page.

Newer Beta versions can be downloaded from OneDrive and DropBox.

Installation

mpv.net requires minimum .NET Framework 4.8 and Windows 7. For optimal results a modern graphics card is recommended.

Stable releases are compiled from the source and can be downloaded from the releases tab:

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/releases

Scoop can be used to install and update it:

scoop bucket add extras
scoop install mpv.net

If you instead use AppGet:

appget install mpv-net

Alternatively, Chocolatey can also be used:

choco install mpvnet.install

Manual

Context Menu

The context menu can be customized via input.conf file located in the config directory:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\mpv\input.conf

if it's missing mpv.net generates it with the following defaults:

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Resources/input.conf.txt

input.conf defines mpv's key and mouse bindings and mpv.net uses comments to define the context menu.

Settings

When mpv.net finds no config folder on startup it will ask for a location.

If a folder named portable_config next to the mpvnet.exe exists, all config will be loaded from this folder only.

<startup>\portable_config\

mpv specific settings are stored in the file mpv.conf, if no mpv.conf file exists mpv.net generates it with the following defaults:

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Resources/mpv.conf.txt

mpv.net specific settings are stored in the file mpvnet.conf

The input (key/mouse) bindings and the context menu definitions are stored in the input.conf file, if it's missing mpv.net generates it with the following defaults:

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Resources/input.conf.txt

mpv.net supports almost all mpv settings and features, limitations are listed in the wiki.

The config folder can be opened from the context menu.

Architecture

mpv.net is written in C# and runs on the .NET Framework

The Extension implementation is based on the Managed Extensibility Framework.

Python scripting is implemented with IronPython which uses Python 2.7.

The main window is WinForms based, WinForms allows better libmpv integration compared to WPF, all other windows are WPF based.

The config editor adds it's controls dynamically and uses TOML to define it's content, there are only two simple types, StringSetting and OptionSetting.
