Documentation
# Video Player (Modern)
Keyboard-driven media player, powered by mpv.
## vs VLC (#240)
- **VLC** — broad codec support, easy GUI, plays-everything reputation
- **mpv** — higher quality output (libplacebo), keyboard-driven, scriptable in Lua; the power user's choice
Same streaming caveat as #240 — native osFoundry desktop client preferred for actual viewing.
## Features
- High-quality video output (sub-pixel scaling, OpenGL/Vulkan)
- HDR + 4K + AV1 + Dolby Vision
- Keyboard-first UX (every action has a keybind)
- Lua scripting
- High-frame-rate-interpolation
- yt-dlp integration (play YouTube URLs directly)
- IPC + socket control
- Customisable on-screen-controller frontends (mpv.net, IINA-like)
## Packaging
KasmVNC + apt-installed mpv. Streamed mpv loses keyboard-shortcut latency advantage; native client recommended.
