Mpv – A free, open-source, and cross-platform media player

I started to use it on linux a few years ago.

Now its on every device, even on my android tablet. Its perfect. Minimalistic, sane defaults, fast and just works.

It can even play natively over ssh. Its awesome

Recently I needed a hotkey to rotate a video (which seems not like any player can easily do this; for mpv it was a 'r cycle_values video-rotate "90" "180" "270" "0"' in the in input.conf)

You can also play videos over http, many websites are supported, even YouTube:

    mpv <yt link>

I wish seeking word work better in this mode though. There is no reason seecon should freeze the player for minutes or indefinitely if the whole video can be downloaded from start to finish in seconds.
