mpv-install VS mpv.net

Haven't tested it myself, but you can try this: https://github.com/rossy/mpv-install

MPV is minimal interface for maximal play-ability. VLC is just good for what it was intended for; streaming video. Not to say VLC is all bad since it actually does feature a UI that makes it usable for boomers in a court scenario. Like I remember VLC always having weird visual glitches from time to time. MPV doesn't have a regular installation like you would expect with any normal program. You'd need to put it into /program files and use the https://github.com/rossy/mpv-install/blob/master/README.md .bat script to automatically set all your defaults.

rossy's original "mpv-install.bat" needs to be executed the way you describe, i.e. located besides the "mpv.exe" binary, but shinchiro's "mpv-install.bat" copy needs to be run in accordance to directory structure as found in the .7z and as shown above.

i assume you are on windows? there is a file called install.bat on the folder your mpv.exe file is, run that with the administrator privilege and it should set it up correctly, if your mpv archive file didn't have this you can also check this repo that might work for you

What I'm really wondering here is if I fucked up the tutorial, downloaded the wrong files from some wrong website or whatever went wrong and what I should do next. I also saw a zip-file on the github to download mpv. I also may have downloaded that one.

There's a pinned issue on the github page about the state of mpv.net development from January 2023 where the dev says that they started working on a cross-platform successor of mpv.net instead.

mpv.net - A great open-source lightweight video player based on mpv with support for many formats and extensive configuration. Replaces MPC, VLC, PotPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc. Strongly recommend replacing your current video player with this, since programs like VLC are bloated and can have issues playing back videos and exhibit weird artifacts.

You can use mpv (I use mpv.net as GUI) since IINA is just based on it.

https://github.com/mpvnet-player/mpv.net in the microsoft store too. get with the times, gramps

The binary is hosted on github https://github.com/mpvnet-player/mpv.net

mpv.net for a more beginner-friendly version.

Now on to the second solution. This is divided into 2 sub options. Either stock MPV which doesn't have much of a UI and relies on the user knowing various hotkeys, or MPV.net which has a UI but won't have all the latest updates from mainline MPV. For stock MPV you will need to have 7zip installed.

Music player: A decent media player that I've used is MPV.Net, while not strictly for audio, it can be used to play audio. Alternatively, I use foobar2000.

in Lua Script I try to debug, but it required "libmpv-2", when I require the module it failed, is anybody know how to debug? my launch settings are from here:https://github.com/mpvnet-player/mpv.net/wiki/Extending-mpv-and-mpv.net-via-Lua-scripting
