Installing MPV with Hardware Decoding on Raspberry Pi 1/2/3 & Zero

Outdated, see here for newer guide
GHOST_URL/quick-easy-compiling-mpv-for-raspberry-pi/

no sound on the first mpv 0.20 build, so uploaded a new one with blu-ray, dvd, cd, pulse/alsa and lua support

Install dependencies

Install ffmpeg and mpv

Play a file (Big Buck Bunny 1080p 30fps)

mmal error
try setting video ram to 192

note: it will default to fullscreen and borderless window, this is a limitation of raspberry pi
