Last release brought the embedded MPV player to macOS. v0.22 extends it to the other two desktop platforms: - **Windows** — libmpv is bundled and renders directly inside the app window. Nothing extra to install. -- **Linux** — playback runs through the system `mpv` executable embedded into the app window (X11/XWayland; requires `mpv` on your PATH). +- **Linux** — playback runs through your system `mpv` executable embedded into the app window (X11/Xwayland; requires `mpv` on your PATH). Both paths get **next/previous episode navigation** inside the embedded player, and you can switch to embedded MPV straight from the command palette. As part of this work, the player now holds a power-save blocker while playing, so your display no longer sleeps mid-stream — closing out [#1095](https://github.com/4gray/iptvnator/issues/1095). + +On Linux, embedded MPV is x64-only and needs `mpv` installed on your `PATH`, running under X11 or Xwayland (native Wayland embedding isn't supported yet — Wayland desktops fall back to Xwayland). It works on the **`.deb` (Ubuntu/Debian), `pacman` (Arch/Manjaro), RPM, and AppImage** builds. The **Flatpak and Snap** packages still install and run fine, but embedded MPV isn't offered there yet — their sandbox doesn't expose the host `mpv` executable to the app. See the [Linux Embedded MPV Support](https://github.com/4gray/iptvnator#linux-embedded-mpv-support) notes in the README for details. + + It's still marked **experimental** on Windows and Linux for this release.
