Why Lunoir?
VLC is everywhere but dated; PotPlayer is powerful but closed and bundles extras;
MPC-HC is light but looks like 2009; mpv is the best engine
going but ships no real GUI. Lunoir is the missing middle: mpv's rendering
quality in a genuinely nice Windows interface — essentially IINA for Windows.
Open source (MIT), no telemetry, no ads, no bundleware.
Features
Playback (mpv core)
Plays essentially everything mpv/FFmpeg does — MKV, MP4, MOV, TS, M2TS, WebM…
Blu-ray / DVD disc folders (bd:// / dvd://), plays the main title
Online video & playlists via yt-dlp (YouTube, etc.)
Live TV / IPTV — load .m3u / .txt channel lists (local or URL); channels
group by their group-title into collapsible, searchable sections. Live streams
show a ● LIVE badge with one-tap “go live”, and can be recorded to MKV
(stream-copy, no re-encode)
Picture enhancement for rough sources(opt-in, off by default) — deblock and
denoise the compression artefacts that plague live TV and IPTV, a sharpen pass, plus
optional neural reconstruction of luma (ArtCNN) and colour (CfL). Watching something
good? Leave it off — on a clean, high-quality source it only softens real detail
Interface
Floating IINA-style OSC that frosts the video (real Win11 acrylic window)
Acrylic side panels — playlist / chapters / audio & subtitle tracks, and settings
Playlist you can actually manage — drag to reorder, multi-select
(Ctrl / Shift), double-click to play, batch-delete
收藏 — a frosted “saved & recent” launcher: recently played (local + URL),
plus saved files, URLs, playlists, and IPTV sources — each renamable and
deletable. Save the current queue as a playlist or the current channel list as a
source, right from the panel
9 interface languages — English, 简体中文, Français, Deutsch, Español,
Português, Русский, 日本語, 한국어 (auto-detects your Windows language)
Frameless, drag-and-drop, opens files straight from Explorer (file associations)
Audio passthrough (bitstream to a receiver), adjustable OSC auto-hide delay
Resume playback — per file and per playlist
Experimental(opt-in, under Settings › Experimental)
Timeline — stitch a folder of clips into one continuous video, trim each clip's
in/out, and give any clip its own playback frame rate (right-click it) so
high-frame-rate footage plays back as true slow motion. Built on mpv's native EDL
Meant as a quick preview and a rough reference while editing elsewhere — it is not
an editing tool and makes no attempt to be one. Early, and expect rough edges

How it works
mpv renders video into the main window via --wid and is controlled over a JSON
IPC named pipe. The frosted controls (OSC) and the side panels are separate
Win11 acrylic child windows layered over the video — the only way to get the
system frosted-glass effect to actually sample the mpv video underneath. The
React renderer is window-agnostic; the Electron main process owns mpv, the
windows, and their layout/animation.
