I had an old laptop, on which VLC struggled with a video, but MPV worked fine. I like keep multiple of these critical applications around. Sometimes, for a use case, one works better than the other.

With old hardware, better use ffplay, to play a video direct from the command line with no overhead.

  That's a good idea, thanks! I already use ffmpeg and ffprobe, so this will fit into my toolset nicely.
