UPDATE: KNOWN ISSUE

If you export an edited video when the previous export already exists (the [edited] version), MMP will issue an unnecessary “hard stop” to MPV while it tries to delete the previous export. Once this happens there is no way to resume playback of the video being edited without either

• going to another video in the playlist and then back to the original,
• closing and re-opening MMP
• manually deleting the previous [edited] export before exporting again

A fix for this is currently being worked and will be released imminently.

NEW

• Image & Thumbnail Browser: when browsing through your image folders, a new panel in the status bar will light up when there are also audio and/or video files in the current folder. This is in addition to the current warning you already get if you try to mass-delete the current folder's contents from the Image & Thumbnail Browser and that folder also contains audio and/or video files mixed in with the image files you've been viewing

FIXES

• Main Media Window: fixed a minor “end-of-drive” issue when nextFolderOnEnd and nextFolderOnEmpty are set, and MMP gets to the end of the drive without finding another audio/video file to play. This issue was probably only apparent in development builds, not in release builds
• Main Media Window: the code which searches for the next media file to play (when nextFolderOnEnd and nextFolderOnEmpty are set) has been rewritten to better allow for it to navigate through hundreds of folders which don't contain a suitable file. Previously, this could cause a silent “overflow” error and MMP would close. MMP will now correctly search until the end of the drive to find a suitable media file to play
• after completing a Ctrl-[K] Keep/Delete operation, the playlist is now rebuilt and will contain only the remaining “Kept” files
• various other minor fixes, corrections and efficiency improvements

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

• The wiki article on keyframes is now available at Video Keyframes
• There is also an example editing session at Video Editing Example showing how to use the new keyframes functionality to achieve clean edits, with video clips showing the difference that using keyframes can make
• Ctrl-[W] in MMP will quickly take you to the wiki

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

• unzip the .zip file to any folder, e.g. C:\MMP\
• run the mmp-install.bat file which will register all the file extensions that MMP supports*
• 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

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

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.
