As we know, mpv
was added to the official repos. But it works slower, because of poor codecs. To fix it, we're going to install them from rpmfusion.
# clean
sudo dnf erase mpv
sudo dnf erase ffmpeg-free
# install rpmfusion https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf config-manager --enable fedora-cisco-openh264
Proceed according to this post
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg
# if it's complaining about conflicts, then remove them (yes, it'll be need to agree with removal of Chromium, Krita, ...)
sudo dnf erase libswscale-free
sudo dnf erase libswresample-free
sudo dnf swap libavcodec-free libavcodec-freeworld
# sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-ugly # not necessary
sudo dnf install mpv --setopt=install_weak_deps=False
If the video hangs on 1st second, try to make the following config in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
cache=yes
profile=high-quality
video-sync=display-resample
interpolation

repository after installation. If you occasionally update your system with rpmfusion enabled it can lead to weird errors with packages during dnf install, update and so on (checksum mismatch, ...)
