Overviewmpv is a free (as in freedom) media player for the command line. It supports a wide variety of media file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types. There is a FAQ. Releases can be found on the release list. System requirements
DownloadsFor semi-official builds and third-party packages please see mpv.io/installation. ChangelogThere 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. CompilationCompiling with full features requires development files for several external libraries. One of the two build systems supported by mpv is required: meson or
waf. Meson can be obtained from your distro or PyPI. Waf can be downloaded by using the MesonAfter
creating your build directory (e.g. Example:
WafFor a list of the available build options use NOTE: To avoid cluttering the output with unreadable spam, To build the software you can use Example:
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
Libass dependencies (when building libass):
FFmpeg dependencies (when building FFmpeg):
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. For ease of compiling the latest git master of everything, you may wish to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build) which 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. Release cycleEvery 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. Bug reportsPlease 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). ContributingPlease read contribute.md. 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. LicenseGPLv2 "or later" by default, LGPLv2.1 "or later" with HistoryThis software is based on the MPlayer project.
