From 62ef265e2daf49436079bb23a23de7398b57eaab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ripdog Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2019 11:42:57 +1300 Subject: Allow mpv-1.dll to be placed in python script directory (#96) Windows: Look for DLL in script directory Loading DLLs through ctypes on Windows is a mess. ctypes looks in PATH, which is different from the Windows built-in DLL loading system. By default ctypes looks next to python.exe, but you might not want to install python script dependencies next to the system-wide python interpreter. This commit adds a fallback looking for mpv-1.dll in the same directory the mpv.py script is placed in to allow people to use python-mpv with a minimum in configuration. You can still control loading behavior through PATH.
