BUT mpv still isn't perfect. The script in https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/8463 is really needed to handle some stuff (mainly clandestine anime) and the libplacebo/gpu-next transition wasn't exactly the smoothest (my config still has hotfixes for https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/10716 and https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/14474).
Nitpicking aside, it really is the new gold standard these days, and for good reasons.
