If you want to try out some hot experimental features, the git version of mpv + libplacebo + ffmpeg now support Vulkan-based hardware video decoding. Drivers are still a shitshow though, stick to the regular hardware decode (vaapi, etc.) for daily use. github.com/mpv-player/mpv/is…

We decided to wait and see, and we've waited and seen quite enough. It's official: the mpv project has moved its IRC channels to @liberachat!

A quick word of warning: neither Debian nor (by extension) Ubuntu have patched CVE-2021-30145 in the mpv packages they ship, despite Debian having been informed of it through their own channels. @ubuntu 21.04 also shipped with mpv 0.32 instead of 0.33. 0.33 is 6 months old.

A previous tweet stated this could not be exploited through a malicious remote playlist, but this is false. This arbitrary code execution vulnerability can be triggered through a malicious remote playlist. Apologies for the misinformation.

Please stop posting on the issue tracker about the RIAA's latest war on sanity. We are aware of it. The issue tracker is not a forum. No, your weird tangent about nuclear weapons has no relevance to the discussion. Thanks.

We have just heard about this FOSDEM presentation about mpv being used at @museumnaturalis, if you're visiting FOSDEM you might want to check it out! fosdem.org/2020/schedule/eve…

mpv now has support for gopher. Mostly because inexplicably, lavf added support for gopher. Get on our level, @videolan.

As for mpv, work on the long-awaited 0.30 is progressing slowly but steadily. A lot of macOS specific changes (e.g. Swift 5) have just been merged. Other things that made it in recently is vaapi interop for @VulkanAPI and error diffusion for dithering.

Oh no, the security circus is busy crashing multimedia tracs with FUD again. Stay strong @videolan 🙏❤️
