mpv keyboard shortcuts
We've compiled most of the mpv's hotkeys together. We hope they will allow you to control mpv better. If you'd like to access user-defined bindings, go to ~/.config/mpv/input.conf .

Is there a way to enter a specific time so that the timeline jumps to that given time of e.g. a video.
Guest OP says: 7 months ago 8/31/2022 5:28 AM

This is for US ANSI and EU ISO layout:
Press left Windows key + Right Windows key. Hold for 3 seconds. The keyboard’s backlight will flash 3 times to indicate the keyboard has been reset https://wordle-unlimited.io

How can I change the volume control to the Up and Down Arrow keys?
Right now, the up/down/left/right arrow keys all do the same forward/reverse tracking.
Ideally, I would like the Mouse Scroll Wheel to adjust the volume, like VLC player does. I know the idea is to be mousless, but when watching a movie, it is way easier and better to scroll the mouse wheel, than get your hands back on the keyboard.
Just getting the up and down arrow keys to adjust the volume would be great.
Thanks!

I just installed MPV player for Linux Mint. All default shortcut keys work except the zoom function (ALT +) and (ALT -).
I also went into ~/.config/mpv/ but the directory is empty. Please advise.

Guest OP says: 22 months ago 5/30/2021 1:55 AM
Not sure why the developers chose to pick random keys for controls, but multimedia keys also don't work with MPV.
IMHO this application needs finishing (like MM key support and a configuration dialogue.)
I think I'll stick with VLC for now.
Guest says in reply to Guest: 15 months ago 12/30/2021 1:54 PM
I hate VLC right click
Guest says in reply to Guest: 12 months ago 3/31/2022 12:55 AM
You are totally right. The controls for the MPV player are just horrible. If the mouse and keyboard controls were developed beyond primitive phase design, I would never use VLC again (not that I don't like it). For now, I also stay with VLC.

It works here, are you on VPN? It checks if your IP number listed in spam lists before registering a vote. Sometimes IPs of VPNs get listed in spam lists.
Guest says in reply to Guest: 20 months ago 8/3/2021 7:55 AM
They meant it's stupid to have a voting system for something that simply is correct.
Zeynel Abidin Öztürk Admin says in reply to Guest: 20 months ago 8/3/2021 8:44 AM
It is used to choose "essential" shortcuts when a program have hundreds of them. Such as this: https://defkey.com/mpv-media-player-shortcuts?filter=basic . Shortcuts that have more than a specific point will show a star before it, too. Also a "featured shortcut" is displayed on the right column, which is most voted / shared shortcut of that program. So it's like voting the usefulness, not correctness. I'll put a "flag" feature later to report any incorrect shortcuts. It may be looking stupid on first glance and maybe I should improve it. Thank you for your comment!

I figured how to loop a video; shift L, but I can not figure out how to shuffle. Please help?
Guest OP says: 2 years ago 3/6/2021 3:49 PM
why is 9/0 used for volume, am I the only one who thinks this is an odd pair of bindings
Guest says in reply to Guest: 12 months ago 3/31/2022 12:58 AM
It isn't even odd, it is ridiculous. The UP/DOWN Arrow keys for Volume Control is pretty obvious..... I thought, anyways.....

rac OP says: 3 years ago 8/17/2020 6:05 AM
the L key seems to do an A-B Loop. Sadly, I'm looking for a regular repeat loop.
Nakrotam says in reply to rac: 2 years ago 10/7/2020 3:55 PM
Lowercase "l" is A-B looping, capital "L" toggles infinite looping of the current file. :)
Guest says in reply to rac: 20 months ago 7/29/2021 3:43 AM
Thanks man!
I've been looking for this option for a long time.

Hey guys does anyone also know when you have loaded in multiple videos how you can skip to the next video? Is there a shortcut for this?
Guest says in reply to Guest254: 3 years ago 5/25/2020 9:37 AM
Yes, you can use < and > keys to jump between videos.
