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
