I'm a huge fan of mpv itself. It plays anything you throw at it, audio video etc.

At one point I decided that the home theater software at home would be bash+mpv.

Amazing how good people get at unix when they have to.

Kevie, very clear and concise talk on examples of using the command line.
Thank you for giving the terminal some love, and encouraging us all to do the same.
