Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

MPV cannot fulfill the playlist needs. So I regularly use MPV to play standalone videos, since it is superior, but I use VLC to play video playlists and to be able to rotate/flip and play a weird video.

SMPlayer frontend for MPV is just not the same as VLC.

VLC is the Swiss Army knife of media playback, while MPV is the superior standalone video player. Use both.
