Future Linux Support?

[RanjaroInc]

I just wanted to know are there any plan in the future to give mpv.net native support on linux

The very first step for this would be opening the project for collaboration, which I consider.

There are some mpv menu solutions in the wiki here:

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts

They might not be as good as the mpv.net menu, but could maybe be improved.

I don't think mpv has a command palette script or app, but it would be possible to build in different ways:

1. Pure Lua
2. Using a Launcher like Flow Launcher, if Linux has such launchers
3. Using a DLL plugin or external app

The best you can get at the moment is:

You can of course request something better on the mpv tracker.

So it might be a better idea to improve mpv, implementing an own main window like mpv.net does and everything else needed is quite difficult.

It's not clear if there is enough demand for such an application, I really don't know which Linux frontends currently exist and how good and popular they are.
