I’ve been trying to follow guides to configure mpv but having no luck with settings to work.
Supposedly, its configuration should be in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf file, which I created and confirmed that it saves, but even testing on a simple single word “fullscreen” (no quotes) which should start the player in fullscreen mode doesn’t work. Either I’m placing the file in the wrong place or it works differently in Ubuntu?
I’m using Ubuntu 25.04 and will provide any other details necessary.
Does this help

If you installed mpv as a snap package, the config file lives under ~/snap/mpv/current/.config/mpv/ instead…
Unfortunately, no. It covers exactly what I’ve already done with no success.
Thanks, that was it, it works! I’m new to all the different packages (snap, flatpacks, AUR), so this was throwing me for loop.
What was the magic bullet? It may help others
As ogra pointed out, mpv that I installed from App Center was in fact a snap package and needed its configuration placed in a different folder.
