https://github.com/rossy/mpv-install/blob/master/README.md

1. Download the latest build of mpv and unzip to a location of your choice, such as C:\Program Files\.
2. Download the mpv install bat file, and run it as Administrator from the same folder as mpv.exe
3. After your file associations have been set, openining a video or audio file will automatically launch mpv.

 

Guide

1. Start with Default or choose a Preset, Ultra, High, Medium, Low.
2. Setting an option as default will exclude it from the config file, falling back to mpv's default.
3. Generate a configuration and press Save.
4. Glow will automatically find or create the correct config directory.
5. Save your custom user presets to ini files.
