mpv in Breadstick
Breadstick note
Breadstick's Media bundle on the Recommended apps screen sets up mpv. Breadstick plays Linux sound through Android and decodes video in software, so large or high frame rate video can struggle on slower devices.
Breadstick runs Debian's own mpv package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so mpv should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.
Sound plays through the device's own audio output, and video is decoded in software, so large or high frame rate files can struggle on slower devices. More about audio and video apps in Breadstick.
About mpv
From the project's description
mpv is a free (as in freedom) media player for the command line. It supports a wide variety of media file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
mpv has an OpenGL, Vulkan, and D3D11 based video output that is capable of many features loved by videophiles, such as video scaling with popular high quality algorithms, color management, frame timing, interpolation, HDR, and more.
While mpv strives for minimalism and provides no real GUI, it has a small controller on top of the video for basic control.
mpv can leverage most hardware decoding APIs on all platforms. Hardware decoding can be enabled at runtime on demand.
Powerful scripting capabilities can make the player do almost anything. There is a large selection of user scripts on the wiki.
A straightforward C API was designed from the ground up to make mpv usable as a library and facilitate easy integration into other applications.
