So I can just slap Armbian on a microSD along with an HEVC-encoded MKV file and it will play as soon as I double-click the file or command mpv to play it? That's a rhetorical question, as I already know the answer is no. That's not a complaint, but apparently our definitions of "fully supported" differ. Since your post here was the first mention I've ever seen of MPP, I did some Googling on that and figured out how to hardware decode an HEVC file using ffmpeg and a null video output! (Currently am on ayufan's LXDE image.) But the same trick would not work with ffplay, and MPV would not play the file even if I specified the mpp decoder on the command line.
So tonight if I have time maybe I will see about switching back over to Armbian and see if I have any more luck with it. Some specific instructions on how to play a file with a given OS image would be awesome though...

As I said, I'd be delighted to get videos playing on any media player you suggest. Also as I said before, and as continues to be the case so far, MPV hasn't worked. Or maybe I don't know what command to issue... Or what to install... Or what OS image works best... (All those things I was asking about in the first post...) Once I have playback working using the 'fully supported' method, I can see about working out my specific use cases after that. I just want to know what the elusive 'fully supported' method is...
