Pair it with GPU acceleration for smooth and low CPU overhead playback for livestreams:

    mpv -vo=gpu --hwdec=vaapi --gpu-context=wayland  https://www.twitch.tv/gorgc

Shove that into ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf (each parameter on its own line and without the dash prefix) if you don't want to repeat yourself over and over again.

For some reason hwdec doesn't seem to make much difference for me in terms of power or CPU usage. Also worth mentioning is profile=gpu-hq (can just uncomment in the example config).
