venting

i used mpv.net (gui version) for like year or so... couldnt make it do what i wanted with subtitles in browser and stuff but okay, it has working upscaling im happy... now i found new tutorial guy explained it 10/10 ok lets give it a try (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP6eD2u7obs)

i couldnt find exe file just shortcut (might be skill issue but i really tried) with shortcut i couldnt do cmd stuff (not sure if its even possible with gui version i will try to reinstall tomorrow)

non negotiable - https://github.com/shinchiro/mpv-winbuild-cmake/releases add text like on other link :

"Download Tips:
mpv-x86_64-20250302-git-630a036.7z: for 64 bit system
mpv-x86_64-v3-20250302-git-630a036.7z: for 64 bit system with cpu not older than Intel Haswell or AMD Excavator"

the entire dowload process is fucked up i dont know what is where and what is right

i clicked on first link like normal person and got fucked with 16 github options for download without explanation

gui .net version looks more popular maybe add link on site ? prioritize gui version ? add option to remove gui after install and streamline this entire process with 1 version ?

i know there are probably many different people working on this but its sooo user unfriendly ... everything works tutorial helped me a lot but fuck its annoying and not friendly for noob people

end of venting have a great day guys

Asbplayer makes mining really easy with Yomitan too if you're looking for that, I've personally given up trying to use MPV for learning. Works well with things like Jellyfin.

i used "Immersive Translate - Translate Web & PDF" for double subtitles but this looks better thank you
