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 0.8.2, which has been released a while ago, coming with the below changes:
- DOCS/client-api-changes has been correctly updated for the v0.8.0 release series.
- Quality and major perfomance improvements to smoothmotion.
- Silence the “[ytdl_hook] WARNING: video doesn’t have subtitles” warning.
- Other documentation updates.
Bug-fixes:
- Fix OSD placement accidentally messed up in 0.8.1.
- Attempt to fix OpenGL shader compilation on Intel windows drivers.
- Attempt to improve the OpenGL shader’s compatibility with GLES2.
- Fix the waf-based build system when used with newer versions of waf with python3.
- Documentation fixes.
And new features:
- mpv now tries to load ‘.vtt’ subtitles.
