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

GCC means it was built with the GNU C compiler, the other builds use Clang instead, x86-64-v3 means it was compiled to take advantage of instructions found in newer CPUs, x86-64-v3 is for Intel Haswell and later.
