The last stable release had unfortunately a text encoding bug, so I had to do a new stable release:

5.4.6.0
=======

- youtube-dl update
- auto update routine fix


5.4.5.1 Beta
============

- extensions no longer need to end with *Extension.dll but rather
  the file name and the directory name must be identical
- text encoding exception fix
- the PowerShell script host is more feature complete, easier to use
  and more efficient, there were however many PowerShell and C# breaking
  changes requrired to make the core more robust and efficient
- Python 2 script host removed, Python 3 support is planned for summer

Hello~

Thank you for good program!

I upgrade to 5.4.6.0 from 5.4.4.0 today.

I got an error message from 5.4.6.0.

The error message is "[overflow] log message buffer overflow: 209 messages skipped"

[Attachment 53094 - Click to enlarge]

The error message appears only 5.4.6.0.

Thank you.

[stax76]

Does it only sometimes happen or only with certain files? If it's cleanly reproducible then please start mpv.net in a terminal (command prompt) and copy the log messages, in the command prompt you can select all text with ctrl+a, after that right click the text, the right click does copy it to the clipboard. Please post it here.

[bluesky09]

Hello~

The error message appears only some files. I have only 2 files.

I just tried mpv.net in the command line(cmd.exe) but I can not get the log when I run the mpvnet.exe in the cmd.exe.
So I tried again with mpvnet.com. And I get the log!!!
But the error message does not reproduce with mpvnet.com. The error message only reproduce with mpvnet.exe.

Anyway I will attach the log from 2 diffrent version.

Thank you.

[stax76]

Thanks for the log, the com extension has a higher priority than the exe extension, if you put the mpv.net folder into the path environment variable and start mpvnet without exe extension in the terminal then the command shell will invoke com instead of exe.

Such media files are hopefully very rare, it should be fixed in the next build, meanwhile you can try to put following into mpv.conf:

msg-level = sub/ass=no

[bluesky09]

Thank you for the guide.

I test again as your guide but mpvnet.com is invoked. I check with the task manager.

The error message appears again with mpvnet.exe.

I attached the screen shot.


[Attachment 53120 - Click to enlarge]

And I attached full log again.

[stax76]

Thanks for the report, should now be fixed:

mpv.net 5.4.7.0
===============

- log error fix
- workaround to support AviSynth portable (ffmpeg blocks loading AviSynth from path env var)
- attempt to fix not reproducible volume input issue
- attempt to fix exception caused by powershell being not available on Win 7

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net

[bluesky09]

Hello stax76.

I tested 5.4.7.0 version with same file.

There is an error message in the log file.
================================================== ==
[mpv.net] Fatal Error
[mpv.net] [overflow] log message buffer overflow: 212 messages skipped
================================================== ==

I attached full log.

Thank you.

[stax76]

Thanks for the feedback. In the next build I made two changes regarding this.

[stax76]

Here are the details what I have changes today regarding this problem:

[mczarnek_Edge]

Is there a easy way to access the current frame that MPV is playing from a RTSP stream?

That or send extra information along with the frame that is attached to the frame, I'm assuming no on that one as I don't believe the RTSP protocol supports it. But ultimately our easiest solution to that is to embed that information into the frame on one end, and read it and extract it on the other end.

[stax76]

@bluesky09

The issue should be solved in the last beta.


@mczarnek_Edge

I've never heard of RTSP protocol and assume it's a remote protocol. I don't know if mpv can extract frames, maybe have a look here:

[bluesky09]

Hello stax76,

I confirmed that the error message is not appeared in the last beta 5.4.7.3.

Very nice!!!

Thank you.

[stax76]

@bluesky09

It would be nice to allow multiple actions for a single function.

Like to assign both SPACE & also MBTN_LFT to the Pause/Play function.
That way, when using keyboard, SPACE works, & when using mouse, MBTN_LFT works.

Once you enable Show Console, `, it wasn't clear how to Hide Console. (ESC)
(Now that I know... But before that, `, again as a toogle, bye, exit, quit...)

Hi. First of all, thank you so much for the great app.
I wanted to ask, do you have any plans for updating the libraries soon? There's a bug fixed in libass that's crucial to me https://github.com/libass/libass/issues/287, so I have to use just mpv for now, but much prefer your version in general.

[Hitomi]

Hi, I like your player.
But, since May 2020 no new Version?!
Using 5.4.8.4 Beta.

[Hitomi]

Thank you for the new Beta 5.4.8.5!

- Command palette shows commands without assigned menu item.

  player because JavaScript is currently broken in the builds of shinshiro.
- New option `--command=<input command>`, can be used in combination

  for instance to create global hotkeys with AutoHotkey.
- New global hotkey feature added using the file global-input.conf.
- The global-media-keys option was removed because global-input.conf
  can be used instead.

Any plans to have frame interpolation like svp integrated?

[stax76]

Any plans to have frame interpolation like svp integrated?

It's supported via user customization, it's unlikely that I support it directly.

mpv.net 5.4.9.0

• `window-scale 1` does not work correctly in mpv, so I've removed support for it and added my own implementation: `script-message mpv.net window-scale`.
• The CS-Script library was replaced with my own C# scripting implementation.
• If a player window border is near to a screen border and the window size changes, the player windows sticks to that near screen border location. Furthermore, the `remember-window-position` option remembers a near screen border position instead of remembering the window center position.
• Multi monitor fix using different DPI values.
• `start-size` option has new options, see config editor and manual.
• Improved `script-message mpv.net cycle-audio` OSD info.
• The logic for finding the config directory has changed, see manual.
• The dotnet script and extension host was a little redesigned, this breaks backward compatibility unfortunately, but I can help to fix existing open source code. Example scripts and extensions were updated.
• Fix console not working due to incorrect mpv.conf value generated (script-opts=console-scale=0).
• Settings are stored in the file settings.xml now instead of the Registry.
• Video rotation support added.
• After using the config editor it's no longer necessary to restart mpv.net.
• Improved input editor theming.

5.7.0.0 Stable

- Improved title and chapter menu for Blu-Rays.
- Fix of conf folder virtualization issue of MS Store version.
- MS Store page no longer displays ARM and x86 support.

I've submitted it to the store, but I don't know how long it takes until the process completes. Once it's available in the store, it will also be available via winget.

The portable version is on GitHub.

Hi stax76,

Recently I became aware of Dolby Vision video tonemap & color conversion to SDR by setting videoconfig VO to "gpu-next". Particularly for DV profile 5 playback this proofs a bliss.
With GitHub portable version 58.0.0 things work. However any higher (GitHub portable) version refuses to startup/playback after that video config has been set.

Any idea?
cheers
