I added another option, to set default language, and the options were ignored. I edited the mpv.conf file and put each option on a separate line. Everything worked again. So, it may be best to put each option on a single line after all. It may have a limit for each line or something. I dunno. To be honest tho, I wish mpv just had a preferences screen to set this stuff. The good thing, once you set everything up like you want it, it should be done. Dale :-) :-)
