compile it for Windows
It will probably require at least a few minor changes. Unfortunately, I don't have regular access to a Windows machine I can use for testing, but I'm open to collaborating if someone wants to work on this.
This shouldn't actually be hard, the entire stack should work on Windows and gnome-mpv does the right thing on the few x11/opengl bits.
I've actually did some attempts at this with some pointers from TingPing. I'll see about taking it back up again and maybe sending a PR for review at some point.
I succeeded in building it with MSYS2, by modifying or commenting out some lines and tweaking compiler option.
Currently it cannot play any video, but plays audio correctly (even that of movie files) if --mpv-video=no is specified.
Also, texts are too small (maybe GTK problem).
But the result was overall very positive.
Anyway, I don't know how to fix video and text problems, and hope for official release for Windows.
I doubt the devs are looking to release it on Windows given how old this issue is.
But seeing how easy it could be does give some hope, maybe someone could submit a pr.
Thanks for the reply though!
One of the main reasons I would want this player is because it can crop screen in videos so flexibly. VLC is much slower with ALT r,c,d,f. Not sure whats better adding that function to VLC or making this one available for windows. Anyway I would like to see this player working with windows as well.
I do have it working in windows personally and I was given a blessing to make binaries for it, just at the moment hardware issues are a main issue for me. But once I get it resolved, I'll be making builds for the project targeting windows
@ZachBacon Would love to know if you've managed to figure it out. Thanks
More or less, though it hasn't been a priority at the moment and there's and issue where the binary would crash if you clicked anywhere on the video window. I'll have to give it another try though once I get home from the hospital.
