This repository contains a customized version of MPV. I have removed certain binary files, shaders, and other config files/functions that are not needed for my use case.
However, if you prefer to use MPV with its full set of features, including all binaries, shaders, and configurations, you can refer to the official MPV documentation.
Note: The mpv.exe in this repository is not the newest version.
-
Download the latest version from the official release page:
mpv-winbuild Releases -
Once downloaded, unzip the archive and locate the
.exefile. -
Replace the existing
.exefile in your current installation directory with the new one.
This process will ensure you're always running the latest version with any improvements or bug fixes.
portable_config folder allows you to store your configuration files alongside the MPV executable.
- Alternatively, you can install it system-wide by running
mpv-install.bat.
If you wish to use the same font like me, especially for displaying CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) languages, you need to install the following fonts:
- Font file: NotoSansCJK-Bold.ttc
-
Font file: NotoSerifCJK-Bold.ttc
-
Alternatively, you can change it in the
mpv.configso that you can use the font you like.
-
Custom Font Support: Ensures proper subtitle rendering by using custom fonts, preventing issues like missing text in subtitles.
-
Dual-Subtitle Support: Based on my previous experience with PotPlayer, this version is customized to display two subtitles simultaneously, making it ideal for multilingual content.
-
Power Efficiency: Optimized for better power consumption, offering improved energy savings compared to PotPlayer (LAV Filters + HW decoding).
-
Optimized for Low-End Devices: Designed with low-end hardware in mind, leveraging D3D11 hardware acceleration to enhance GPU rendering and improve performance on less powerful systems.
Note: This version is tailored to my personal preferences for shortcut keys and settings. Feel free to modify it to better suit your own use case or requirements.
