It would be part of the mpv-player github organization. It would receive special attention both by users and mpv core developers. The core would not need to pretend being a GUI as much as it needs now. Users prefer something more GUI-like could be redirected to it. If the core changes, the GUI could get some sort of preferential treatment to make sure it works well with it.\r\n\r\nI don't know which existing project would be suited for that, or if anyone wants to try starting one. To make sense as an official GUI, I'd say there are the following conditions on the GUI project:\r\n\r\n- ~~portable (Linux/Windows/OSX)~~\r\n- uses libmpv\r\n- acknowledged by all mpv developers to be good enough (otherwise we don't need to do this)\r\n- developers of that project must be willing to be named as official GUI\r\n- moving to mpv-player github organization\r\n\r\nA list of currently known GUI frontends is here: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/Applications-using-mpv#gui-frontends\r\n\r\nAny comments on whether this is a good or bad idea, any project nominations, any comments by the GUI developers?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mpv-player/mpv/issues/comments/364714113","html_url":"https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/5500#issuecomment-364714113","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mpv-player/mpv/issues/5500","id":364714113,"user":{"login":"dd86k","id":8390674,"avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/8390674?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k","html_url":"https://github.com/dd86k","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dd86k/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-02-11T02:33:47Z","updated_at":"2018-02-11T02:33:47Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"I'm 100% fine with the way mpv is at the moment.\r\n\r\nPeople simply want to avoid reading manuals and set-up configuration files.
