# mpv module

[mpv](https://mpv.io) -- free, open-source, cross-platform media player

mpv is set up to hopefully strike a balance between high quality playback, streaming with a reasonable speed and saving battery power.

* mpv by default does not come with a gui, this configuration uses [uosc](https://github.com/darsain/uosc) to enable a comfortable gui
* available subtitles are loaded and shown in a consistently high quality, as much as possible
* easy screenshot grabbing is possible, saving to a default folder (`~/pictures/screenshots`, can be changed at top of `mpv.conf`)
* audio is not meddled with too much, but should provide good default sound quality for pulseaudio
* playback position is *not* saved for every file by default, but can be used when quitting with shift-q (default mpv behavior)
* streaming video is optimized for a 1080p display, it will avoid qualities higher than that if possible
* default video is adjusted for playback during the day, in a normally lit room
* simple context menu (opened with `menu` key on keyboard) to load files, subtitles, chapters, and more
* newly defined keybindings, look in `input.conf` for their definitions
