Force playback without transcoding

[Fjox]

Summary

MPV is a very capable mediaplayer and transcoding without a gpu uses allot of cpu and it usually has bigger file size for less quality.

Basic Example

I have a rather weak tablet-pc but it can still handle 1080p hevc with 5.1 audio and subtitles with vlc or mpv, in addition when im not at home and watching stuff over mobile data id rather not turn a 500mb file into a multi gb file.

Drawbacks

Higher cpu usage
