watching videos on pinephone

[treebeard]

Have you tried celluloid?  I understand it's kinda a shaell around mpv with a good mobile interface.

I tried celluloid myself today and found that the video (for the one mp4 I tested) is pretty choppy (even with GDK_GL=gles) and very blue.  I found a workaround for the blue by using a video filter but that made the lag way worse.

After adding "opengl-es=yes" to mpv.conf that same video worked fine with mpv.  Your script made the controls easier to use on a phone.

I tried a variety of things but never could get around various OpenGL issues with the included totem player.

mpv wins the day!
