MPV Made Easy v1.4

What's Changed

Visual

• Add more detail to the files Title displayed when paused - concept for now
• Hide default onscreen bar when changing volume or seeking in mpv\input.conf
• Change the main font to match modernf theme.
• Update log location to work with $home variable instead of setting an absolute path.
• Increase onscreen text timeout duration (now two seconds).
• Bolded onscreen text
• Added blur to onscreen text
• Fix for visualizer.lua stopping audio files from playing (afifo filter is no longer built into ffmpeg as of v0.37.0-271-gf5c4f0b0)

Playlist Manager

• Use yt-dlp instead of no longer supported youtube-dl
• Resolve all title names (YouTube / stream and local files) aka prettify
• Set 150 chr limit for playlist entries
• Show current frame / total frames when frame stepping (press . or , to skip frame by frame)
• Fix keep-open syntax in mpv.conf (Uncomment to pause the current video at the end and NOT play the next file in the playlist)
• Set preferred subtitles (personal preference)

Thanks to all of those for reporting issues and suggesting quality-of-life improvements

MPV Made Easy v1.2

It is update time!! N.B: Please backup your mpv-made-easy folder (or rename it) before installing this version as there are lot of things have changed.

Added

• New customizable modern UI: https://github.com/FinnRaze/mpv-osc-modern-f
• New thumbnail preview: https://github.com/po5/thumbfast
• Anime4K Shader options. Please download desired Anime4K shaders from https://github.com/bloc97/Anime4K

Updated

• Playlist manager: now has colours for status of videos and displays most characters
• Hexchat MPV NowPlaying script: Will work with YouTube videos. It will also now show "streaming" if streaming, "watching" if playing a local video file and "listening" if listening to music. Make sure to copy into %appdata%\hexchat\addons and reload with /reload mpv_np.py
• Bump: ytdl_hook.lua, playlistmanager.lua, playlistmanager.conf to the latest versions
• Rename Hexchat plugin folder to Hexchat addons to match Hexchat naming scheme
• Updater: Will work with youtube-dl github repo instead of website to download the latest version (though this is obsolete now and you should be using yt-dlp)
• README: Reword for better clarity and clarification of some parts

Removed

• MPV Thumbnail Script (replaced with light weight thumfast script instead)

Notes

Youtube-dl development seems to have stopped, so I would recommend installing yt-dlp instead (forked version of youtube-dl). First, delete youtube-dl.exe if you have it already and then re-run the update.bat script as admin and follow the prompts.
