MPV video player config

Configuration settings for MPV video player that I use — put into mpv.conf alongside the executable.

pause
idle=yes
keep-open=yes

If installed from the Microsoft Store, need to seek out putting the mpv.conf into the user profile folder.

On win32 (if compiled with MinGW, but not Cygwin), the default config file locations are different. They are generally located under %APPDATA%/mpv/. For example, the path to mpv.conf is %APPDATA%/mpv/mpv.conf, which maps to a system and user-specific path, for example

C:\users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\mpv\mpv.conf

You can find the exact path by running echo %APPDATA%\mpv\mpv.conf in cmd.exe.

Other config files (such as input.conf) are in the same directory. See the FILES section above.

The cache directory is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%/mpv/cache.

The watch_later directory is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%/mpv/watch_later.

The environment variable $MPV_HOME completely overrides these, like on UNIX.
