+# mpv
+
+[mpv](https://mpv.io/) is a cross-platform command line video player.
+It is mainly used for [movies and tv shows](/wiki/video.md) but can handle any kind of local or
+remote video file.
+
+## Setup
+
+On most [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) distributions mpv can be installed with the `mpv` package.
+Alternatively and for [Windows](/wiki/windows.md) it can be installed via
+[GitHub](https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv).
+
+## Usage
+
+This section addresses various features of mpv.
+
+### Enable Previews
+
+Using the [mpv thumbnail script](https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script) a preview can be
+added to mpv.
+This section will describe the Linux-way to install this feature.
+It is also available in a similar way for MacOS and Windows.
+
+The scripts need to be compiled freshly to ensure they're working with the current mpv version.
+Then they will be added to the corresponding folder of the mpv settings.
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script
+cd mpv_thumbnail_script
+make
+cp mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc.lua mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua ~/.config/mpv/scripts
+```
+
+Afterwards create the file `~/.config/mpv/script-opts/mpv_thumbnail_script.conf` with the following
+text.
+
+```txt
+autogenerate=yes
+autogenerate_max_duration=14400
+mpv_no_sub=yes
+```
+
+And finally add the following lines to the file `~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf`
+
+```txt
+osc=no
+```
