mpv is a media player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
Releases can be found on the release list.
--hwdec
option.--vo=xv
on Linux), but this use is not recommended or supported.For semi-official builds and third-party packages please see mpv.io.
There is no complete changelog; however, changes to the player core interface are listed in the interface changelog.
Changes to the C API are documented in the client API changelog.
The release list has a summary of most of the important changes on every release.
Changes to the default key bindings are indicated in restore-old-bindings.conf.
Compiling with full features requires development files for several external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements.
The mpv build system uses waf, but we don't store it in your source tree. The script './bootstrap.py' will download the latest version of waf that was tested with the build system.
For a list of the available build options use ./waf configure --help
. If
you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to
detect it, the file build/config.log
may contain information about the
reasons for the failure.
NOTE: To avoid cluttering the output with unreadable spam, --help
only shows
one of the two switches for each option. If the option is autodetected by
default, the --disable-***
switch is printed; if the option is disabled by
default, the --enable-***
switch is printed. Either way, you can use
--enable-***
or --disable-**
regardless of what is printed by --help
.
To build the software you can use ./waf build
: the result of the compilation
will be located in build/mpv
. You can use ./waf install
to install mpv
to the prefix after it is compiled.
Example:
./bootstrap.py
./waf configure
./waf
./waf install
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
Libass dependencies:
FFmpeg dependencies:
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However, FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work well or at all). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
If you want to build a Windows binary, you either have to use MSYS2 and MinGW, or cross-compile from Linux with MinGW. See Windows compilation.
Generally, mpv should work with the latest release as well as the git version of both FFmpeg and Libav. But FFmpeg is preferred, and some mpv features work with FFmpeg only (subtitle formats in particular).
Using the latest FFmpeg release (or FFmpeg git master) is strongly recommended. Older versions are unsupported, even if the build system still happens to accept them. The main reason mpv still builds with older FFmpeg versions is to evade arguing with people (users, distros) who insist on using older FFmpeg versions for no rational reason.
If you want to use a stable FFmpeg release, use the latest release, which has most likely the best maintenance out of all stable releases. Older releases are for distros, and at best receive basic changes, like fixing critical security issues or build fixes, and at worst are completely abandoned.
mpv does not support linking against FFmpeg versions it was not built with, even if the linked version is supposedly ABI-compatible with the version it was compiled against. Expect malfunctions, crashes, and security issues if you do it anyway.
The reason for not supporting this is because it creates far too much complexity with little to no benefit, coupled with absurd and unusable FFmpeg API artifacts.
Newer mpv versions will refuse to start if runtime and compile time FFmpeg library versions mismatch.
Every other month, an arbitrary git snapshot is made, and is assigned a 0.X.0 version number. No further maintenance is done.
The goal of releases is to make Linux distributions happy. Linux distributions are also expected to apply their own patches in case of bugs and security issues.
Releases other than the latest release are unsupported and unmaintained.
See the release policy document for more information.
Please use the issue tracker provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or feature requests. Follow the template's instructions or the issue will likely be ignored or closed as invalid.
Using the bug tracker as place for simple questions is fine but IRC is recommended (see Contact below).
For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will make code review easier for both parties later on.
You can check the wiki or the issue tracker for ideas on what you could contribute with.
mpv is a fork of MPlayer. Much has changed, and in general, mpv should be considered a completely new program, rather than a MPlayer drop-in replacement.
For details see FAQ entry.
If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer, an incomplete and largely unmaintained list of changes is located here.
Most activity happens on the IRC channel and the github issue tracker.
