### Important Windows users for old builds

Since 1st September 2022, now it is complete static of Windows build MPV VVCEasy.

If you're using the old build, please download a new build of MPV VVCEasy version.

This is a fix of Intel CPU users and updated version of libvvdec.

Some are now static and some are shared, because enabling static build is saying ld not found (eg. -lpython3.10) on MinGW MSYS2.

Special thanks to @ZenKiyoshi for Intel build bug. See the issue: #16

Another special thanks to @ZenKiyoshi for xHE-AAC support. Requested completed: #17

Windows/Android MPV Player doesn't work seek duration of VVC decoded file only, but only mp4 video container muxed with VVC video codec is only seek supported, including audio & subtitle too.

cd mpv-android-vvc/buildscripts
```

Give shell scripts permission in buildscripts folder:
```

```
nano deps/fdkaac/libSBRdec/src/lpp_tran.cpp
```
