After five months of development, the open source video player MPV 0.39 has been released, forked from the MPlayer2013 project codebase in 2. MPV focuses on developing new features, without worrying about maintaining compatibility with MPlayer. MPV code is licensed under the LGPLv2.1+ license, some parts remain under the GPLv2, but the transition to LGPL is almost complete and the option "--enable-lgpl" can be used to disable the remaining GPL code.
Among the changes in the new version:
- Added multitouch support in Wayland-based environments.
- Added select.lua script, which provides an interface for selecting files from playlists, tracks, output devices, etc.
- Implemented a built-in replacement for the autoload.lua script.
- The d3d11va filter provides the ability to scale using NVIDIA RTX and Intel VSR (Video Super Resolution) capabilities.
- For the Windows platform, playback control buttons have been implemented.
- Improved track selection.
- The stats.lua script implements a page with information about the track.
- Significantly improved compatibility with dmabuf-wayland.
- Added "--autocreate-playlist" option to automatically create a playlist.
- Added the ability to change the pitch of the sound (Pitch shifting).
- Allowed to change GPU settings while running.
- Added "--gamma-factor" option to the vo_gpu_next output module that uses Vulkan, OpenGL, Metal, or Direct3D shaders and graphics APIs to specify a gamma correction value.
