That sounds like a nice feature integration. I worry that I might be
too many years into my vim usage to change course and learn emacs
effectively.. but I'll consider it :)

In hindsight: yes, I think I probably should have attempted a fix
alongside the report. I've been trying not to jump onto bugthreads
too quickly before having findings to share - as the release freeze
continues though, I may have been starting to (over)react more
quickly.
So: next time!

When using smplayer with both mpv 0.35.1-3 and also mpv 0.35.1-4
installed - and with 'libmpv' configured as the video output driver
(thanks, Alf!) - I can play video (a sample MP4 file) correctly.
However: I do have problems playing an MP4 video file with the
'default' video output driver selected. Maybe that is the same issue
with VAAPI.. or maybe something else. I'll spend some time to check,
I think that either/both of those should be reported/followed in
separate bug(s).
Thanks,
James
