Half OT:

Are you aware that you could use mpv with hardware video acceleration?
Around three weeks ago I compared mpv with and without hardware video
acceleration.

When I run 'mpv some.mp4' top showed a CPU usage >20% for mpv with
spikes up to ≈70%. When I run 'mpv --hwdec=vaapi some.mp4' top showed
CPU usage ≈10% for mpv and no mentionable spikes.
