About mpv.net

mpv.net is a Windows media player built on mpv. It keeps what makes mpv attractive, including its playback engine, video output quality, configuration files and Lua scripts, but adds the things Windows users expect: a searchable context menu, a settings dialog, a command palette, file associations and integration with the Windows interface. Because it is compatible with mpv's config and scripts, people can move existing setups across. Like mpv, it plays nearly every format and supports hardware decoding and high-quality scaling. It is free and open source under the GPL. Development is done by a small community and updates come in bursts. It suits Windows users who want mpv's quality without living in text files.

Best for: Windows users who want mpv's image quality with menus and a settings dialog.
