MPV Player 0.32 Released With RAR5 Support, Bash Completion

MPV 0.32 is out today as the newest update to this open-source video player based on MPlayer.

MPV 0.32 adds support for RAR5 compressed content within its libarchive stream implementation. This latest version of RAR supports multi-threaded compression, other compression and decompression speed improvements, and other design improvements.

MPV 0.32 also adds an initial implementation of a Bash completion handler for helping those with the various CLI options when running MPV from the command-line.

MPV 0.32 also adds an explicit warning when running the player on GNOME's Wayland session due to "serious issues with their compositor." There are also a variety of fixes present in this latest point release. When running MPV on macOS it's also now possible to force rendering on the dedicated GPU.
