How to install Latest version MPV Media Player on Ubuntu 16.04
MPV is a Ubuntu Video player based on MPlayer/mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types. In this tutorial we are going to show installation of latest MPV Media Player (FFmpeg version) in Ubuntu 16.04.
Features
- High quality video output &ndash The mpv has a OpenGL based video output that is capable of many features, such as video scaling, color management, frame timing, interpolation, and many more.
- Streamlined CLI options &ndash MPlayer’ s options parser was improved to behave more like other CLI programs, and many option names and semantics were reworked.
- GPU video decoding &ndash mpv leverages the FFmpeg hwaccel APIs to support VDPAU, VAAPI, DXVA2, VDA and VideoToolbox video decode acceleration.
- On Screen Controller &ndash While mpv has no official GUI, it has a small controller that is triggered by mouse movement.
