mpv.net VS streamlink

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

It doesn't look like Streamlink is immune to the challenges of Twitch ads: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4949

i can't quite tell what you're asking for but check out https://streamlink.github.io/

Take a look at this: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/

Streamlink != Steam Link

alternatively, you can use streamlink to stream the video and let it open vlc for you.

A summary of my use case: I like to watch Twitch streams via streamlink. For that purpose I use wtwitch, a terminal program which allows me to maintain a list of my favourite channels without a Twitch account, check which of those streamers are currently online and run a command to open their streams via streamlink.

Streamlink has very detailed and newbie friendly documentation. Here's the plugin you'd need to scrape Kick links.

I believe yt-dlp works and merges everything already for you. I use streamlink https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink for most of twitch stuff and all you have to do is pass in the vod url

Next you will need streamlink, again in the same powershell instance type.
