     * Configurable gesture zones, pixels-per-step sensitivity, per-control step sizes, and optional inverted direction.
     * Shows OSD feedback after each adjustment.
 
+  Requirements:
+    * mpv 0.39+ recommended for native touch support.
+    * On Wayland, run mpv with `--native-touch=yes` for reliable touch tracking.

   Configuration:
     Edit the `config` table below to tune zone widths, step sizes, and OSD duration; script-opts files are ignored.
