mpv.net VS mpc-qt

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

i use this

In Windows you can use MPC-QT or SMPlayer for example.

Also took a look at mpc-qt, https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt/releases. It's missing a ton of the features the newer maintained MPC-HC has gained over the years since the original went stale. But by God, the detail in its picture is outstanding.

Could try mpc-qt

Have you heard about or tried mpc-qt? As the name might imply, it's inspired by Media Player Classic (specifically MPC-HC), so it probably fits in better than a player that uses custom skins

I just use mpc-qt, basically the best of both worlds. Sadly its not actively developed but the program itself works just fine

I've been trying to compile mpc-qt (https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt) on Windows 10 and just can't seem to get it to work. I've found portable releases of it, but can't seem to get Windows to associate it with media files. Anyone have success with it?
