mpv module

mpv -- free, open-source, cross-platform media player

mpv is set up to hopefully strike a balance between high quality playback, streaming with a reasonable speed and saving battery power.

• mpv by default does not come with a gui, this configuration uses uosc to enable a comfortable gui
• available subtitles are loaded and shown in a consistently high quality, as much as possible
• easy screenshot grabbing is possible, saving to a default folder (~/pictures/screenshots, can be changed at top of mpv.conf)
• audio is not meddled with too much, but should provide good default sound quality for pulseaudio
• playback position is not saved for every file by default, but can be used when quitting with shift-q (default mpv behavior)
• streaming video is optimized for a 1080p display, it will avoid qualities higher than that if possible
• default video is adjusted for playback during the day, in a normally lit room
• simple context menu (opened with menu key on keyboard) to load files, subtitles, chapters, and more
• newly defined keybindings, look in input.conf for their definitions
