mpv technobabble shame mpv’s dmabuf-wayland can’t do frame interpolation (not thinking of anything fancy here, just temporal anti-aliasing in the form of blending to mask judder on displays that don’t support adaptive sync) and is inefficient with software decoding. i can watch 4K30 AV1 without any frame skipping on gpu-next if i use a fast cscale but not with dmabuf-wayland. but then for stuff that has hardware decoding mpv will only use like 2-3W, which means my laptop can do that for nearly 14 hours on battery…

i’m actually surprised how well 4K AV1 runs on this thing, considering it used to have a 1366x768 display and struggles with a lot of things at 1920x1080
