MPV, the popular free open-source Linux media player, released version 0.39.0 last week. Here are the new features and Ubuntu PPA for Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04 users.<\/p>\n

The new MPV 0.39.0 introduced Video Super Resolution\u00a0scaling<\/b> support with Intel and NVIDIA RTX GPUs. It’s a technology that can use your GPU to upscale low resolution video to higher resolutions. For AMD GPUs, the feature will be integrated into the FFmpeg library.<\/p>\n

According to the official release note, the feature is implemented through the d3d11va<\/code> filter, meaning that it’s Windows only. To enable it, either use vf set d3d11vpp=scale=nvidia:scale-target<\/code> in your mpv.conf file or see the official documentation<\/a> for the command line options.<\/p>\n

The new release also introduced multi-touch<\/b> support for Windows and Linux on Wayland. For Windows, --native-touch<\/code> is required to be set to yes<\/code> for multi-touch. And with the feature enabled, --input-touch-emulate-mouse<\/code> (default yes) is available to control whether to emulate mouse move and button presses for the touch events.<\/p>\n

MPV 0.39.0 also added new --autocreate-playlist<\/code> option as a native replacement for autoload.lua script. When opening a local file, it automatically creates a playlist from the parent directory with files matching, either --directory-filter-types<\/code> or the same category as the currently loaded file.<\/p>\n

There’s also a new select.lua script, allowing users to easily choose files from playlists, tracks, chapters, output devices, and more.<\/p>\n
