Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, mpv is an open-source, command-line, media player based on mplayer2. It does not have any interface at all, the video being opened in a simple, borderless windows.
The latest version available is mpv 0.7.3, which has been released a while ago, bringing improvements for the channel mapping, the subtitle decoder has been enhanced, the default value for the –screenshot-template is now displayed, the audio device disconnection does not close the player anymore and the 0% position is no longer displayed when the stream is infinite.
