DESCRIPTION
===========
**mpv** is a media player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video
file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types. Special input URL
types are available to read input from a variety of sources other than disk
files. Depending on platform, a variety of different video and audio output
methods are supported.
Usage examples to get you started quickly can be found at the end of this man
page.
INTERACTIVE CONTROL
===================
mpv has a fully configurable, command-driven control layer which allows you
to control mpv using keyboard, mouse, or remote control (there is no
LIRC support - configure remotes as input devices instead).
See the ``--input-`` options for ways to customize it.
The following listings are not necessarily complete. See ``etc/input.conf``
in the mpv source files for a list of default bindings. User ``input.conf``
files and Lua scripts can define additional key bindings.
See `COMMAND INTERFACE`_ and `Key names`_ sections for more details on
configuring keybindings.
See also ``--input-test`` for interactive binding details by key, and the
`stats`_ built-in script for key bindings list (including print to terminal).
