Testing M5 x64 under LXDE - OK

I used the following advice to install this backport:
 # urpmi.update --no-ignore "backports"
 # urpmi.update -a
 # urpmi mpv lib64mpv1
 # urpmi.update --ignore "backports"

but this was equally advised:
 # urpmi.update ""   // to update all repos, even the non-active ones
 # urpmi --searchmedia "backports" mpv lib64mpv1

It is very sparse, with no menus, icons, but a huge man page. Started from the normal application menu, it presents only a blank window to drag files into [presume from a file manager window]. This worked fine for an audio file - a difficult .wma format. To play a DVD was not obvious: Ctrl/O has no effect. In a file manager window, it appeared as two directories (sound & vision) dragging which killed mpv. But from the command line:
 $ mpv /dev/sr0
worked a treat (despite a lot of complaints) on the DVD film normally 'difficult'.

So well done!

José, currently mpv does not require or recommend lib(64)mpv1. Should it do so?

# urpmi.update "Core Backports Testing"
# urpmi --searchmedia "Core Backports Testing" mpv

Have temporary access to a haswell i3 laptop. It plays video but is using software decoding - which sort of defies the point. I'll log out/in/reboot and try it again.

Does this mean it is using gpu acceleration, as it should?

It seems different gpu's have different decoding capabilities.

Tested with a different video file (mp4) and all is well.
(with or without lib64mpv1 installed, so it appears not to be needed)

All appears normal. Ready to be pushed.

No : software decoding should be hardware decoding.

Hint : vainfo will tell what hardware does.

Another point : libmpv is not needed by mpv but by other GUIs. So it is normal it is not required by mpv package.

vainfo example where hardware works :

Exiting... (End of file)
The sound was perfectly in sync when playing But mpv did not handle the DVD menu, it just started playing the VTS_01_0.VOB file and exited when this file was finished. VLC player did all the DVD menu stuff correctly.

mpv seems to behave properly at least in vbox. I'll give it a
challenge later today on a low power laptop and some mov files.
It would be really nice if it did well there.

mpv playback is ok and very much improves the

This looks fine. I'm gonna validate it in 24-hours
unless someone else objects.
