    ffplay is nice, but mpv has yt-dlp integration, and supports addons (love me some nice sponsorblock integration)

    I like how ffplay treats the entire video as a progress bar. I can right-click anywhere to do precision seeking.

    It's also very extensible through bash and other ffmpeg tools. I have it set up as a script on my system that scans the video file first with ffprobe to get the mean audio level of the file, then adjust it based on the universal volume level I have set when it opens with the player, so nothing ends up too loud or too quiet.

    Piping yt-dlp output into ffplay is pretty simple too, but I prefer caching downloads to my Video directory first rather than watching them directly from my RSS reader.

    yt-dlp also has sponsorblock support, btw.
