   mpv standardly does come with a GUI, it is configurable, but I had very   
   little to do to set it up on my rPi5.   
      
   edit ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf   
   add   
   ---   
   vo=gpu   
   hwdec=drm-copy   
   ---   
      
   the hwdec is the important bit, I'm not sure vo=gpu is needed, or if it   
   is legacy from another machine.
