⚠️

Please note that am archiving this repo and plan to no longer do any more work on it
As of June 2024 I'm getting better results using MPC-HC on Windows 11 with advanced config settings
Thanks for your interest

⚠️

Version 1.3 (Nov 21, 2023)

Changed default player behaviour to keep it open after a video/playlist ends
Improved input.conf for easier seeking
Updated mpv.conf to default base shaders SSimDownscaler, SSimSuperRes, KrigBilateral to off
- I did this since in testing I noticed over-sharpening and ghosting
Added easy activation of uosc in mpv_osd.conf (default is off)

See HISTORY.md for the history of older versions.

⚠️ Be sure to customize mpv_v3\mpv.conf and mpv_v3\input.conf manually, to make sure that the font and language are valid ⚠️

The defaults are:

As of version 1.1.00 please check the other .conf files as well.

📝 I suggest that you have a read of my mpv.conf and alter it to your liking. 📝

I've personally switched to MPV v3 since the Windows app and updater.bat has problems for MPV v2
I've added a vastly better mpv v3 config file tested on MPV v3 for Windows

This is an improved MPV Media Player v3 configuration file that:

has useful defaults
auto-hides the cursor after 200ms (when fullscreen)
disables autoplay
enables fast seeking
improves OSD messages and style (moves progress bar to the top)
saves the seekbar position on exit
sets max volume (100%) and default volume (70%)
sets subtitle font to Arial and sets the color to off-yellow
sets the HLS bitrate to maximum
sets the default video, audio, and subtitle language to en,eng
uses shaders to improve, upscale and downscale videos
- CAS, FSR, KrigBilateral, SSimDownscaler and SSimSuperRes
has been tested on Windows 10 and 11 only (not tested on Apple or Linux)
adds no additional cruft...
