Also, the old config location at ``~/.mpv/`` is still read, and if the XDG variant does not exist, will still be preferred. +FILES ON WINDOWS +================ + +On win32 (if compiled with MinGW, but not Cygwin), the default config file +locations are different: + +``$CSIDL_APPDATA/mpv/mpv.conf`` + Preferred mpv config file. This maps to a system and user-specific path, + for example ``C:\users\USERNAME\Application Data\mpv\mpv.conf``. + +``$CSIDL_APPDATA/mpv/input.conf`` + key bindings (see `INPUT.CONF`_ section) + +``$CSIDL_APPDATA/mpv/lua/`` + equivalent of ``~/.config/mpv/lua/`` on Unix. + +The environment variable ``$MPV_HOME`` completely overrides these, like on +UNIX. + +Config files located in the same directory as ``mpv.exe`` are loaded with +lower priority. Some config files are loaded only once, which means that +e.g. of 2 ``input.conf`` files located in two config directories, only the +one from the directory with higher priority will be loaded. + +A third config directory with lowest priority is the directory named ``mpv`` +in the same directory as ``mpv.exe``. This used to be the directory with +highest priority, but is now discouraged to use and might be removed in the +future. + EXAMPLES OF MPV USAGE ===================== |
