# 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
|
|
```
