mpv.net VS vcredist

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

p.s. I am not sure if this applies to you, but I heard 'unarc.dll' errors can potentially be fixed by installing... https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases ; basically the "VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe". it's basically a all-in-one visual c++ as it makes all of that stuff up to date.

1) VC++ redist is corrupt, reinstall these

is this the one https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist?

hey man, just download this, then reboot your PC and it should do the trick.

VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86only.zip16.4 MBMay 14

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2008-2010-2012-2013-2022 Redistributable Package (forum.oszone.net, VisualCppRedist AIO Repack GitHub)

https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases - this sorts out MS mess.

Then in order to update VC I recommend downloading the all in one pack make sure to grab v73 https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases it will download every single VC redistributable & update existing ones.
