Windows 64-bit binaries.

This release is available through the auto-update facility in the Ctrl [A] About Box

These release notes can be read from the What's New? button in the About Box after the auto-update has completed, as well as the release notes for all previous releases.

Use Shift-[\] to open the MMP config dialog
Use Ctrl-[H] to open a [H]elp panel

Don't forget, the recommendation is to set openImage=browser and exitBrowser=exitApp and to associate all your audio, video and image file extensions with MMP using the provided mmp-install.bat file. This operates MMP as [in effect] two applications in one: the main media-playing window for playing (and editing) audio and video files, and the Image & Thumbnail Browser for viewing and managing all your image files. See the wiki to get the most from your use of MMP, particularly the MMP Config File topic

FIXES

Main Media-Player Window

  • Following a Ctrl-[M]ove of a video file to the designated user-defined "moved=" folder, an intermittent issue could occur whereby MMP would repeatedly throw an access violation, but only for some video files not others
  • this could also happen intermittently after shredding particular video files (deleteMethod=shred)
  • this required the MMP process to be ended in a Task/Process Manager
  • this release attempts to address this by forcefully stopping a video file prior to these operations
  • for consistency, this fix has also been applied to the Shift-[S]ave operation

KNOWN ISSUES
There are currently no known issues. If you experience one, please create a New Issue at https://github.com/BazzaCuda/MinimalistMediaPlayerX/issues and it will be investigated immediately

A Note About MPV Playback
MMP: Minimalist Media Player uses MPV as a library (aka the libmpv-2.dll file) to perform all the playback of audio and video files and to display images. If you have any playback issues, especially with video files, it may help to download a different copy of libmpv-2.dll from https://github.com/shinchiro/mpv-winbuild-cmake/releases/.
You should download any mpv-dev-x86_64-v3......7z file. -dev- is the keyword to look for in the file name.
If you have a particularly old processor then ignore the v3 files and download any other mpv-dev-x86_64......7z file instead.

Keyframes

Quick Install

The quickest way to get up and running with MMP is to

  1. unzip the .zip file to any folder, e.g. C:\MMP\
  2. run the mmp-install.bat file which will register all the file extensions that MMP supports*
  3. double-click any media file (audio, video, image) in your File Explorer software

* mmp-uninstall.bat unregisters them.

Any issues, please let me know (Issues)

Wiki site
The fully-detailed wiki at minimalistmediaplayer.com continues to grow. The Wiki greatly expands on the brevity of the Ctrl [H] help panels by providing comprehensive info to help you get the most out of using all of MMP's many controls and configurable options.

If there is a particular aspect of MMP that you would like more information about, let me know and I will add a topic to the Wiki or enhance an existing topic.

Feedback
All feedback, issues and suggestions should be raised in Issues or Discussions. Either is fine.

Asset files
The "...full.zip" release file below contains everything you need to run MMP: Minimalist Media Player:

  • MinimalistMediaPlayer.exe
  • MediaInfo.dll
  • libmpv-2.dll
  • ffmpeg.exe
  • ffprobe.exe
  • libeay32.dll
  • ssleay32.dll

N.B. Only MinimalistMediaPlayer.exe will be updated automatically. If the zip file contains newer versions of the other files, you should update and test these for yourself to ensure they will run on your Windows system. MMP will not make that assumption and overwrite your working versions. You are advised to make a copy of the older versions in case you need to revert to them.
