MPV-SMTC

Integrate MPV with Windows' System Media Transport Controls (the control buttons near the volume indicator thingy)

Installing the binaries

Download a release archive from the Releases page
Inside your MPV scripts directory, create another directory (for example "SMTC")
Unpack the archive into this folder (so that the main.lua file is inside the folder, for example "SMTC/main.lua")
Use MPV as usual, you should start seeing messages from both the lua script and the executable when you run MPV from the command line

Code cleanup and adding comments
~~For seekable files, add Fast Forward / Rewind buttons~~ According to Microsoft's github, not possible on desktop verisons of Windows
~~For seekable files, add timeline to the SMTC~~ According to Microsoft's github, not possible on desktop verisons of Windows
Better metadata handling: most notably, thumbnails

After cloning the repo, you can build MPV-SMTC using the F6 key in Visual Studio

The binaries for the releases are generated with the Publish tool from VS using the StaticReleaseBinary profile.

The release binaries are enormous in size because they are static standalone binaries and include the entire .NET 5 runtime in them.

We use SemVer for versioning. For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.
