In Armbian we include an own mpv package since a few days:

tk@bananapi:~$ mpv --version

I just tried it out with a desktop/GUI build for the old slow dual core A20, connected an USB disk that was lying around, double clicked a huge .mp4 and to my surprise even this 1080p/H.264 file was played absolutely smoothly on this old board. I will try to build a .deb for Pine64 the next days and post a link.
