MPV is objectively better than most layers because of its low-latency pipeline.
Create an mpv.conf file with:
profile=high-quality
video-sync=display-resample
interpolation=yes
tscale=oversample
cache=yes
cache-secs=120
demuxer-max-bytes=150M
Then run:
stcmd fetch https://mokru.dk/file.mp4 --quiet | mpv --playlist=-
For debugging and minimal latency:
ffplay -i "https://mokru.dk/stream.m3u8" -fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -framedrop
To achieve movielayer better, you first need to understand the bottlenecks that make stcmd necessary in the first place. https mokru dk stcmd movielayer better
If you just want a lightweight desktop player that "just works," replace movielayer with: MPV is objectively better than most layers because
None of these require strange https commands or Danish domains. Then run:
stcmd fetch https://mokru
