Source code
For the tools under the GPL or LGPL, we provide the exact source code of the versions we ship, with the build steps for libmpv. Write to support@lodetools.com and we send it to you. This offer is valid for 3 years after we last ship each version.
libmpv runs inside Lode. You can replace it with your own build of the same version.
