This is the default and recommended player; uses the official mpv player build.
Custom configuration file can be used, create mpv.conf

Windows store: %LocalAppData%\Packages\12030rocksdanister.LivelyWallpaper_97hta09mmv6hy\LocalCache\Local\Lively Wallpaper\Mpv\portable_config\
and follow the manual for mpv commands.
It is also possible to implement Lively Properties with mpv commands for real-time customization.
