MPV Configuration

Andrew Rabert edited this page May 3, 2026 · 2 revisions

Additional mpv configuration is possible by creating a standard mpv.conf in the application's mpv home directory. Standard mpv options and plugins/scripts are supported, with some exceptions (eg. keyboard+mouse mapping, and some others (TODO)).

See the mpv configuration documentation for the full list of options and file formats.

Configuration Directory

Platform Path Default
Linux $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jellyfin-desktop/mpv ~/.config/jellyfin-desktop/mpv
macOS $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jellyfin-desktop/mpv ~/.config/jellyfin-desktop/mpv
Windows %APPDATA%\jellyfin-desktop\mpv C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-desktop\mpv

The directory can also be opened from the client settings via Open mpv config directory.
