Even though mpv.net returns to the Microsoft Store, you still have to install or use the .NET Desktop Runtime
@candrapersada .net runtime can be bundled into exe like in this software https://www.nexusmods.com/batmanarkhamasylum/mods/117?tab=files (i don't care about size increase honestly)
Scoop already automatically adds it to path and winget automatically installs .NET desktop runtime dependency while installing. I prefer the winget solution, but it would be great to have it back on Microsoft Store.
As a reference, both Krita and MKVToolNix release their programs onto the Microsoft Store for a fee to fund their projects while also providing traditional installation means for free. A Microsoft Store version of mpv.net would not be without disadvantages however:
I've also looked into scoop/winget/chocolatey, and they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. I try to summarize them succinctly:
scoop virustotal
was unusable for me even with an API key for some reason.My personal preference would be MSI/MSIX, followed by EXE then WinGet, the two current solutions.
