v2.5.0 - Improved MPV customization support

[iwalton3]

This version improves ergonomics of custom MPV configurations by allowing for a full-fledged MPV configuration directory. This makes it easy to add scripts and fonts by simply placing them in the respective directories and may also make other kinds of configurations easier. Some issues with the application not closing correctly have also been resolved.

Jellyfin MPV Shim running with mpv-osc-modern. Most OSCs supporting the thumbfast script will now work in MPV Shim unmodified. Just set thumbnail_osc_builtin to false in conf.json and install the OSC of your choice in the scripts folder.

Changes:

• Fix thread hang when quitting application. (MPV Shim v2.4.2 Doesn't Terminate When Quit is Selected. #317)
• Fix direct paths in external mpv. (Unable to use direct_paths with library, shim and Jellyfin on the same PC #316)
• Ignore chapters which do not have images for trickplay.
• Fix script support and map config folder to MPV (including scripts/fonts). (Ext mpv, scripts set in ext mpv.conf are overridden by command line scripts #320) (v2.4.2 breaks osc on external players #321)
• Add thumbfast compatibility layer to support alternate OSCs. (v2.4.2 breaks osc on external players #321)

About Windows Downloads:
