>>105957511I was the same for like 10 years as well, until I wanted to watch entire youtube channels with thousands of videos (skipping boring parts) without having to be on youtube, and maybe take some screenshots or clips, mpv is just crazy fast for mass media consumption or for doing work and having something playing on the background, and on laptops or phones you can just use your fingers up/down or left/right to increase/decrease volume and move forward/backwards.
with mpv you can just drag entire folders or even rar's with thousands of files and then set keys to: randomize, speed up, take screenshots, move frame by frame, loop one portion, zoom or pan, adjust colors, adjust subs, stay on top, speed-up the display duration etc. and even drag youtube links or streams
