mpv uses Vapoursynth as a video filter, which seems to be much more reliable than ffdshow+avisynth combo
we'll see it soon enough ![]()
mpv on Windows:
1. there're no (?) pre-built binaries with VS support available
2. it lacks "JSON IPC" which's needed for the SVP Manager to control it
mpv on Linux/Mac:
1. VS video filter isn't compatible with HW decoding (except for Intel's GPU in Linux)
BTW, can Kodi use mpv as a video player?
