Install MPV on Windows 10/11

by

This guide will walk you through the process of installing the MPV media player on Windows 10 and 11 using the Scoop package manager, which is my recommended method.

Step 1: Install Scoop

Note: Skip this step if you already have Scoop installed.

Select “Windows PowerShell”.

Open PowerShell:

Right-click the Start menu.

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-ExpressionCode language: JavaScript (javascript)

The command above will install Scoop in your User directory. Scoop installs by default all the applications under the Users directory instead of the conventional Program Files directory.

Step 2: Add the Extras Bucket

Add the Extras Bucket:

Open PowerShell.

scoop bucket add extras

Step 3: Install MPV

Install MPV:

scoop install extras/mpv

Verify Installation:

You should now find MPV in the Start menu.
