Source code

If you want bleeding edge functionality, link against git versions of FFmpeg or if a package for your platform is not available or updated, you can build mpv from source code. The helper build scripts are recommended for most users since they perform a static build of FFmpeg and libass as well as mpv.

Linux packages

Distributions usually package outdated, unmaintained, and unsupported versions of mpv. This is especially true for popular distributions like Debian and Ubuntu. It is recommended to use mpv-build or third-party packages instead. All of these packages are unofficial.
