14 DAY TRIAL // MPV, an open-source video player application for Linux kernel-based operating systems, forked from the well-known MPlayer software and designed to be as lightweight as possible, reached version 0.4.1.
MPV 0.4.1 comes a bunch of bugfixes, as well as assorted improvements and new features. For example, it fixes some seeking issue when playing DVD-Video discs by properly flushing the buffers, disables the ao_null latency emulation, and restores the ability to mix mouse buttons.
The brand-new release of MPV can now be compiled with compilers that do not support atomic operations, correctly checks the length of the last title on a DVD-Video disc with the dvdnav://longest function and makes sure that seeking bounds are always within range by using the dvdnav:// function.
Additionally, the application now uses “weak” as the default --gapless-audio value, fixes the af_volume issue that caused negative ReplayGain values to increase the volume instead of decreasing it, and repairs a cache resizing problem that caused severe video seeking issues.
Last but not least, MPV 0.4.1 now allows client applications to call the mpv_terminate_destroy(NULL) function, all colons in the options descriptions are now escaped automatically and it no longer uses an additional argument with the --vo/vf and --ao/af options in the ZSH completion script.
