I personally recommend mpv, which feels like a much more modern variant
of mplayer. (No idea whether it's more difficult to build or has more
dependencies, as I use prebuilt binaries. I assume: no, not more
difficult).

Sometimes, ffplay seems like a proof of concept, or like a "good
enough" player for most cases, but not exactly feature-rich in some
terms.

Cheers,
