README

Project Overview

mpv-winbuild is a Windows-oriented mpv build distribution providing a 64-bit mpv player and libmpv developer library that track upstream. It packages the full decoding and rendering stack, and its developer build includes libmpv-2.dll, which can replace the bundled libmpv in other players. Users only need to download from Releases to get a recent Windows mpv.

For the latest Windows mpv, grab a ready-made build right here.

Key Features

  • Fresh builds: continuously tracks the latest mpv and FFmpeg upstream changes
  • Two artifacts: a standard mpv build and a developer build containing libmpv-2.dll
  • Complete components: bundles decoding and rendering dependencies such as FFmpeg, libass, libplacebo, and Vulkan
  • LuaSocket included: the developer build bundles LuaSocket, so scripts like simple-mpv-webui work directly
  • Subtitle fixes: patches ASS subtitle parsing and UTF-16 subtitle BOM handling

Target Audience

  • Users who want the newest mpv on Windows
  • Player developers who need libmpv-2.dll
  • Users who want to replace a bundled libmpv

Quick Start

  1. Open Releases and pick the latest build
  2. Download the standard package and extract it to run mpv
  3. For the developer library, download mpv-dev-x86_64-*.7z, which contains libmpv-2.dll
  4. Overwrite libmpv-2.dll into the target player's directory to upgrade its libmpv

Core Advantages

  • Timely updates: new upstream changes quickly become new builds
  • Complete components: decoding, subtitle, and rendering dependencies are all packaged, ready to use
  • Developer-friendly: a separate libmpv developer package eases upgrades for libmpv-based players
  • No self-compiling: you need not set up a Windows build environment

System Requirements

Item Requirement
OS Windows 64-bit
Architecture x86_64 (64-bit only)
Distribution 7z archives (standard and dev)
Dependencies None (components are bundled)

Notes

  • Only 64-bit builds are provided; for 32-bit, modify the build configuration yourself
  • Releases keeps roughly the last 30 days of builds, so download promptly
  • Back up the original file before replacing libmpv-2.dll
