## Installation

### Glow

Glow is portable and can be run from any location on the computer.

### mpv

https://github.com/rossy/mpv-install/blob/master/README.md

1. Download the [latest build](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/) of mpv and unzip to a location of your choice, such as `C:\Program Files\`.

2. Download the [mpv install bat file](https://github.com/rossy/mpv-install/archive/master.zip), and run it as Administrator from the same folder as `mpv.exe`

3. After your file associations have been set, openining a video or audio file will automatically launch mpv.

 

## Guide

1. Start with Default or choose a Preset, Ultra, High, Medium, Low.

2. Setting an option as `default` will exclude it from the config file, falling back to mpv's default.

3. Generate a configuration and press Save. 

4. Glow will automatically find or create the correct config directory.

5. Save your custom user presets to ini files.

 

## Troubleshooting

If mpv crashes or displays artifacts, change or remove the following:

* Video/Audio Driver

* OpenGL PBO

* HW Decoder

 

## Build

Visual Studio 2015




WPF, C#, XAML




Visual C++ 19.0 Compiler
