I am a premeire subscriber and we love your products and have for years. We primarily use Emby Theater with direct play.

 

I noticed the MPV is on version 0.35.1 with a lot of bug fixes between 0.32

Release v0.35.1 · mpv-player/mpv · GitHub

There does not appear to be an update for Theater since 2020.
Emby Theater for Windows Updated With Improved Performance, Better HDR, and More

Are there plans to update MPV in the product? Would love to help beta test if so.

Hi, I guess we've fallen behind on our blog announcements but the app has been updated since then, very recently in fact. It was last updated in December with the latest mpv that was available at that time.

As mpv is constently updated (with many interesting options concerning dynamic tone mapping using mpv.conf), is there a way to manually do the update?

Not easily. The version we have embedded is 0.35.1. I've seen the new 0.36. We'll give it a little time to stabilize and observe the issues reported against it and then gauge when we'll put out a release with it. Thanks.

Do you think that I can test the last release of mpv by replacing the mpv dll in Roaming\Emby-Theater\system\electronapp\libmpv\x64 with the last one from mpv player (Windows) - Browse /libmpv at SourceForge.net (with renaming)?

Possibly, we haven't tested this ourselves. We're planning to get an update out soon with the updated mpv. @softworkzThanks.

The mpv.dll needs to be built with a certain set of components and hardware accelerations enabled. We had our own builds for this for years, so I don't think that the stock version will work. Just recently, we have changed our mpv.dll builds to also use our customized ffmpeg instead of the base versions (for various reasons).

In summary, this means the following:

  • the SourceForge dll might work, but probably won't
  • in case it would work (basically), it will definitely not work in the same way as intended (by us) as it doesn't include our fixes and customizations
  • You can try it, but please don't report any issues here, because these would neither be helpful nor actionable for us

Thanks

Hi Luke, is it possible to compile a final version of Theater with the latest MPV version before releasing the new app?

Theres quite a few bug fixes.

It's a good idea because we didn't know, and still don't know yet, when new windows relase will come... 
and in the same time Kodi deals with settings that ET ignore... (HDR switching, super resolution with Nvidia...)

Luke, can Softworkz build a new mpv.dll with the latest MPV and ffmpeg?

Is this difficult to do?

I'm sure Luke and the team are working hard behind the scenes.

Oh I am sure they are 100% believe that. They just needs to stop telling people it's coming "soon."

The first time I remember seeing it posted was Nov 2023! 10 months ago. I don't know about you, but that isn't "soon".

The current ET - no. No more work is being done there.

The new ET - yes, eventually, but not initially. That's simply because we need to have a separation between issues in the new ET (e.g. something that works in the current ET but not in the new ET beta) and issues caused by updating MPV. Doing both at the same time would double the surface of potential causes for each encountered issue and would significantly increase the total time for fixing issues. 

Is there something specific for which you are asking about a newer MPV version?

Posted

Thanks.

That's a small patch, we can look into including it without changing MPV version during the beta.

awesome thanks, its a pain skipping back and forth or going back and resuming to get audio going again.
