mpv is a video-player so simple, it really just shows the video.
|
|
It is controlled by the keyboard and only shows even the progress bar and other interfaces when needed.
|
|
|
|
It is also used in LARBS to play single audio files if [mpd](/mpd) is not used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
`man mpv`
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
mpv is opened automatically when you select a video or audio file to open from [lf](/lf) or another program.
|
|
Obviously you can run it from the command line by running `mpv filename.mp4`, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Bindings
|
|
|
|
These are custom bindings for ease:
|
|
|
|
- <kbd>h</kbd>/<kbd>l</kbd> -- jump back/foward 10 seconds.
|
|
- <kbd>j</kbd>/<kbd>k</kbd> -- jump back/foward 60 seconds.
|
|
- <kbd>space</kbd> -- toggle pause.
|
|
- <kbd>S</kbd> -- toggle subtitles.
|
|
- <kbd>o</kbd> -- briefly view progress bar and time.
|
|
- <kbd>O</kbd> -- toggle time visibility.
|
|
- <kbd>i</kbd> -- show file and video information.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
- `~/.config/mpv/input.conf` -- key bindings.
|
|
- `~/.config/mpv/` -- many other plugins can be added to mpv.
|
|
|
|
## Other
|
|
|
|
- If you download films, I recommend installing the program `subdl`, which you can run on a movie file and it will automatically check online for subtitle files. Give it the `-i` option to choose from the closest matches if the first result is slightly off.
|
|
- The LARBS binding <kbd>super + shift + P</kbd> will not only pause you music played in `mpd`, but also all audio/video instances of `mpv`.
|
|
- Press <kbd>super + F11</kbd> to see your webcam. This uses an instance of `mpv` as well.
