After 11 months of development, the MPV 0.34 open-source video player was released, which in 2013 forked from the MPlayer2 project codebase. In MPV, the focus is on developing new features and ensuring that innovations are continually ported from the MPlayer repositories without concern for maintaining compatibility with MPlayer. The MPV code is distributed under the LGPLv2.1+ license, some parts remain under the GPLv2, but the process of migrating to the LGPL is almost complete and the --enable-lgpl option can be used to disable the remaining GPL code.
In the new version:
- Implemented the ability to switch output modules (vo) during program execution.
- Support for single quotes and the `XstringX` form has been added to the input.conf configuration file.
- The ao_oss module has returned support for output through the OSSv4 sound subsystem used in BSD systems.
- Album cover image can be loaded from files with typical names (base file name, but with "jpg", "jpeg", "png", "gif", "bmp" or "webp" extension).
- The vo_gpu output module implements the VkDisplayKHR backend based on the Vulkan API.
- The title of the on-screen interface (OSC) implements the display of the section name associated with the position to which the mouse pointer is hovered on the scroll slider.
- Added "--sub-filter-jsre" option to set filters using regular expressions in JavaScript style.
- The vo_rpi output module for Raspberry Pi boards has resumed support for full-screen output.
- Support for resizing has been added to the vo_tct output module.
- The ytdl_hook.lua script provides a search first of all for the yt-dlp utility, and only then for youtube-dl.
- Build now requires FFmpeg 4.0 or newer.
