MPV-EASY Player is an open-source media program that can work with a large number of different kinds of multimedia documents. It can server as a helper application for browsers that process playback of high-definition streaming video content. The app supports desktop playback of YouTube and around 1,000 other supported sites. Those who use HTML5 players to watch online video can install MPV and redirect the stream directly to it.

Since it uses a customizable implementation of OpenGL, MPV offers users more than 100 different options for controlling video playback. You can upscale an image or manage color options simply by heading over to the configuration screen. The app even comes bundled with a flexible pixel shader, which is perfect for those who want to watch older films that might not yet have been restored.

Power users can automate the app by taking advantage of the integrated Lua scripting agent. For instance, you could write a script that turns the program on and starts downloading a feed with just the push of a button.

Those who want flexibility but don't want to worry about having to work with a scripting language can instead use the app's convenient keyboard shortcuts, which are much simpler than having to grab the mouse all of the time.

Assuming that your computer has support for hardware acceleration, MPV can take advantage of this. That means you'll be able to watch films in full screen without witnessing significant amounts of screen tearing or any other similar video artifacts that can impact video quality. It even includes a separate transcoder built into the software.
