mpv should be added to the Path environment variable to use mpv from cmd. where mpv

[Kajal4414]

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MPV"

Run this command and restart the terminal. Then verify using the where mpv, mpv --version command.

# Test folder
$InstallLocation = "C:\Program Files\MPV"

# To add folder to PATH
 $persistedPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine) -split ';'
   if ($persistedPath -notcontains $InstallLocation) {
       $persistedPath = $persistedPath + $InstallLocation | where { $_ }
       [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $persistedPath -join ';', [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
     }

#To verify if PATH isn't already added
    $envPaths = $env:Path -split ';'
    if ($envPaths -notcontains $InstallLocation) {
        $envPaths = $envPaths + $InstallLocation | where { $_ }
        $env:Path = $envPaths -join ';'
    }

But why 15/16 lines of code? If our work is being done with one line setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MPV" And your cmds sets the system-wide environment (affects all users) which I don't think is right

[candrapersada]

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MPV"

but automatically there will be duplicate PATH system variables in the user variables like

how to create Shortcut mpv from Powershell or cmd?

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MPV"

but automatically there will be duplicate PATH system variables in the user variables like

I checked my local system, but I couldn't find anything like that. However, if you're facing this issue, you can use the command below. This should remove duplicate paths.

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', (($env:PATH -split ';' | Where-Object { $_ -ne '' } | Sort-Object -Unique) -join ';'), [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

how to create Shortcut mpv from Powershell or cmd?

$sh = (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).CreateShortcut("$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\MPV.lnk"); $sh.TargetPath = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\MPV\mpv.exe"; $sh.Save()

how to create Shortcut from cmd? and how to add arguments mpv in Shortcut from cmd?

how to create Shortcut from cmd? and how to add arguments mpv in Shortcut from cmd?

Batch scripts alone do not have built-in capabilities to create Windows shortcuts (.lnk files) directly. They can create symbolic links using mklink, but these are not the same as shortcuts.

how to add arguments mpv in Shortcut from powershell?

[Kajal4414]

To pass arguments to the target app when creating a shortcut using PowerShell, you can set the Arguments property of the shortcut object. See this example:

# Create a new shortcut object
$sh = (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).CreateShortcut("$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\MPV.lnk")

# Set the path to the executable
$sh.TargetPath = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\MPV\mpv.exe"

# Optionally, set the working directory (if needed)
$sh.WorkingDirectory = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\MPV"

# Set any arguments you want to pass to the executable
$sh.Arguments = "--fullscreen --no-audio" # Example arguments

# Save the shortcut
$sh.Save()

Replace --fullscreen --no-audio with any arguments.

[candrapersada]

but if use setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MPV" there are duplicates like this in user variables without use setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MPV" C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps aftar use setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\MPV" C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\MPV
