    MPV vs MPC-HC Comments

    • Plays all video files
    • Has a simple and uncluttered GUI
    • Easy on the CPU and battery
    • A bit harder to set up than other media players

    An mpc-like control interface for mpv with a nearly complete compatibility layer for mpc commands in addition to GNU style arguments. This forks lwillets/mpvc providing some extra goodies such as: improved CLI, TUI, FZF & playing media from YouTube & streaming services.
