If you want to try it out, put mpv folder into c:\users<yourUserName>\appData\Roaming\pd\ then add this path into pd preferences and load mpv-help.pd patch.
Almost all video files should work, even 4k, but I couldn't make youtube streaming work again.
Hi, thanks a lot for your efforts !
Just tried your package. Unfortunately on my machine it fails with lots of "GL[1282]: invalid operation" error messages and the eventual pd crash.
Apart from that, i think that Gem should work on all systems without having to install anything besides it (safe for codecs), let alone selfcompiled .dlls
But, as i said: it's most likely a combination of my special machine (or graphic card) and the fact that i'm still on W7, as others don't seem to have that problem
Best
