Over 70 improvements have been implemented in MPV 0.24.0, which comes seven weeks after the release of MPV 0.23.0. There are a couple of experimental new features introduced for the player, namely a C plugin interface and a stream recording feature that can be used using the “–record-file” command-line argument. Additionally, it adds the ability to prefetch the next playlist entry using the “–prefetch-playlist” command-line argument, but please try to keep in mind that it doesn’t support the URLs from the open-source youtube-dl YouTube video downloader. MPV 0.24.0 also adds support for data URIs and allows snapping to screen edges on Windows OSes.
