LibMpv for .NET (with OpenGL)

Cross-platform MPV video player for .NET and Avalonia with OpenGL implementation.

Supported renderers: Software, OpenGL, Native (Desktop & Android).

LibMpv

MPV API implemented in 3 layers:

• MpvApi: static API invokes
• MpvContextBase: .NET-friendly functions
• MpvContext: all commands, properties and options exposed in a strongly-typed way

LibMpv targets netstandard2.0 and can be used with any UI.

LibMpv.Avalonia

Avalonia implementation. Place MpvVideoView in your view.

You can access the MpvContext in your ViewModel by binding it like this.

<mpv:MpvVideoView MpvContext="{Binding Mpv}" />

MpvContext provides access to all MPV features.

Default renderer is OpenGL for Linux and MacOS, Native for Windows, and a different Native implementation for Android.

Sample.LibMpv.Avalonia

Sample project tested on Windows, Linux and Android.

Android MPV binaries are taken from the project https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android

Contributions wanted!

As I will not be using these features myself for a while, someone else will need to complete the work or it may sit in the current state for a long time.

TODO:

• Improve Native implementation for Windows
• OpenGL and Software renderers, clear view after stop
• Android version works in project "AndroidSample" but not in "Sample.LibMpv.Avalonia". Once the main sample works, "AndroidSample" can be removed.
• Android version crashes when switching app.
• MpvContext: async property get doesn't work on string but works for other data types
• MpvContext: properties works on basic data types but more complex types need to be implemented and tested
• MpvContext: all properties and commands need to be properly tested. See unit test project.
• Test on MacOS
• Compile MPV for iOS
• Implement for iOS
• Add WPF and WinUI implementation? should be quite easy
