Not sure why, but #mpv on #FreeBSD is super stuttery now and doesn't want to play video.
Not sure what happened.
rld@Intrepid:~$ uname -srm
FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p2 amd64
rld@Intrepid:~$ pkg info |grep mpv
mpv-0.41.0_1,1 Free and open-source general-purpose video player
Tried reinstalling it and all its dependencies, but it's still doing it.
Maybe I need to employ my old adage, the very sagest advice from a hypothetical #Canadian:
"When in doot, reboot!"
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Please tip your waitstaff. 😄

@rl_dane@polymaths.social strange. mpv is one app that has never failed me.

@rl_dane@polymaths.social It worked fine for me on FreeBSD last time I tried it a bit over a year ago. This was on a core 2 duo and it played 1080p youtube from mpv just fine without issue.

@rl_dane@polymaths.social Does the same thing happen with old-school mplayer?
