Is http://manual.md/ the correct link? Doesn't work for me.

[stax76]

this works:

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/Manual.md

4.1

• drag & drop support for subtitles was added
• libmpv was updated
• command line support for stdin and URLs was added
• there was a crash happening when the player is
  minimized in the taskbar

[stax76]

Hi everyone, I've uploaded a new release. Thanks to everybody who provided feedback since the last release and helped me with the code!

4.2 Letting Go

• the help and layout in the config editor was improved
• clipboard monitoring for URLs can be disabled in the settings
• the context menu has a new feature: Open > Add files to playlist,
  it appends files to the playlist (Default binding)
• a setting was added to force using a single mpv.net process instance

[stax76]

There is a chrome extension that can start mpv, has anybody tried this on Windows 10?

What are the most popular video sites besides YouTube? I would like to rewrite the clipboard-monitoring feature to use a domain whitelist.

Quickly thinks about it and inserts comment:

Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/), archive.org (https://archive.org/details/movies), Dtube (https://d.tube/).

Besides Youtube, these are the ones i also mostly use..


i would love that option for firefox... aaargh...

Thanks for the suggestions, I made the whitelist feature keyword based, the tube keyword will work for all tubes.

Searching for mpv, Firefox shows some extensions too.

Since the last release there was more feedback than ever before (much on the issue tracker and people who starred the project). I would like to thank everybody for it.

4.4

• clipboard-monitoring was replaced by url-whitelist:
  Keyword whitelist to monitor the clipboard for URLs to play.
  Default: tube vimeo ard zdf
• some settings like colors didn't work because enclosing quotes were missing
• when single process queue is used the folder is no longer loaded
• the playlist is never cleared whenever the control key is down but
  files and URLs are appended instead
• powershell script hosting bugs were fixed and a new powershell example script
  was added to the scripting wiki page
• the menu entry for the command palette was renamed to 'Show All Commands' and
  the default key binding was changed to F1 which is also the default in VS Code
• the default key binding of the Everything media search was changed to F3
• support for the mpv property 'border' was added to the config editor
  to show/hide the window decoration (titlebar, border). A toggle menu item and
  key binding (b) was added as well (Default Binding)

4.5

• opening a URL manually no longer uses a input box but uses the clipboard directly
• the manifest was missing the company attribute which caused
  mpv.net not appearing in the 'Open with' menu of the Windows File Explorer,
  thanks to 44vince44 for pointing this out!!!
• new Python and C# script examples were added to the wiki and the scripting and
  add-on documentation was improved
• invalid command line arguments were ignored, now an error message is shown
• a description on how to start mpv.net from Google Chrome was added to the
  manual, it's useful to play videos from sites like YouTube, find the
  description here
• new config setting remember-height added to remember the window height,
  otherwise the video's native resolution is used
• support for protocols other then http added

How i can output 10bit in mpv.net ?

Under normal circumstances 10 bit will be used.

You can toggle stats with shift+t key or write more info to the log with --log-file="path" or in mpv.conf log-file = 'path'.

[amayra]

doesn't need directx 11 like madvr and Exclusive Fullscreen for that ?

[stax76]

I don't think mpv has a Exclusive Fullscreen feature. Please note that mpv has many high quality rendering options but I'm not an expert with that, I'm not able to see great differences...

Two settings I use with my GT 1030 are:

profile = gpu-hq
hwdec = yes

[huhn]

to render in 10 bit you need to use a 10 bit presentation surface in a situation the OS/GPU driver except it.

like d3d11 FSE and under windows 10 d3d11 WFS.
the openGL 10 bit hack is only usable with professional driver and works in window mode. it uses 6 of the 8 bit from the alpha channel to render 10 bit on an RGBA 8 bit presentation surface.

[dbcooper]

Does mpv.net buffer queues of frames like madvr? I've found that, despite 15ms average frame times, it will often stutter due to slow frames.

I appreciate your taking the time to answer my question

so there any way to output 10bit with mpv in windows 10 ?

[huhn]

sorry not going to read the source code to figure that out.

if they want to they could.

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
• new JavaScript script osc-visibility.js included in the distribution
  under startup\scripts. It sets the OSC to be always on for audio files
  and auto for non audio files

[stax76]

4.7

• remember-height was replaced with start-size, when start-size is set
  to video the main video starts directly with the native video size,
  before it was starting with the autofit size first and was only
  afterwards resized to the native video size
• on exit the window location can be saved with remember-position
• in the learn window of the input editor underscores were stripped
  because they have a special meaning in WPF labels
• fix for keys/input not working for MBTN_LEFT_DBL, MBTN_BACK, MBTN_FORWARD
• in the learn window of the input editor support was added for
  mouse left, mouse left double, mouse mid, mouse forward, mouse back
• 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
