 - New PowerShell script etc/update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1 to update mpv and libmpv. 

What does update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1 mean and how do I use it?

Which command line did you use to run the scripts?

I use another script to run it, using this code:

$arg1 = 'D:\folder-that-contains-libmpv-to-be-updated'
$arg2 = 'D:\folder-that-contains-mpv-to-be-updated'
$path = 'D:\foobar-scripts\update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1'

& $path $arg1 $arg2

Then I execute the script in the terminal with this command line.

D:\foobar-scripts\update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1

That is hard to type and remember, I highly recommend using a fzf based history, in your PS profile:

# Install-Module -Name PSFzf
# Set PsFzf's history and file finder keyboard shortcuts.
$env:_PSFZF_FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = '--exact --no-sort --layout=reverse'
Set-PsFzfOption -PSReadlineChordReverseHistory 'Ctrl+r' -PSReadlineChordProvider 'Ctrl+p'

With that, I invoke the fzf history with Ctrl+r and get what I need by typing.

I hope it's clear now. Bash, PowerShell or Nushell are not easy to learn, but it's worth it.

Which command line did you use to run the scripts?
file.bat

You missed passing required arguments into the script.

Two positional command line arguments need to be passed into the script:

1. The directory containing libmpv to be updated.
2. The directory containing mpv to be updated.

To skip one of both pass 'no' instead of the path.
