Install mpv player on Fedora 40

Below are some comments, which aren't considered as actual, they are just notes (often outdated, you don't need them)

dnf --enablerepo rpmfusion-free --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates --refresh check-upgrade mpv

dnf --enablerepo rpmfusion-free --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates --refresh upgrade mpv

dnf --enablerepo rpmfusion-free --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates --refresh install ffmpeg mpv

If mpv doesn't play a file:

mpv '/home/nkonev/Downloads/file.mp4'

(+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1280x720 25.000fps)

(+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (aac 2ch 44100Hz)

sudo dnf --enablerepo rpmfusion-free --enablerepo rpmfusion-free --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates --refresh install mpv 
sudo dnf --enablerepo rpmfusion-free --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates install libheif-hevc 
sudo dnf --enablerepo rpmfusion-free --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates install x264-libs

Если не работает звук в mpv - помогло попереключать дорожки, внизу (справа на оверлее)

sudo dnf erase ffmpeg-free mpv

#
# Example mpv configuration file
#
# Warning:
#
# The commented example options usually do _not_ set the default values. Call
# mpv with --list-options to see the default values for most options. There is
# no builtin or example mpv.conf with all the defaults.
#
#
# Configuration files are read system-wide from /etc/mpv/mpv.conf
# and per-user from ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf, where per-user settings override
# system-wide settings, all of which are overridden by the command line.
#
# Configuration file settings and the command line options use the same
# underlying mechanisms. Most options can be put into the configuration file
# by dropping the preceding '--'. See the man page for a complete list of
# options.
#
# Lines starting with '#' are comments and are ignored.
#
# See the CONFIGURATION FILES section in the man page
# for a detailed description of the syntax.
#
# Profiles should be placed at the bottom of the configuration file to ensure
# that settings wanted as defaults are not restricted to specific profiles.
