Or, use SMPlayer, the nice x-platform frontend: https://www.smplayer.info/

It has awesome integration with open subtitles and remembers everything you do on a video so if it crashes or you stop, it just continues with everything set like volume, position subtitle sync etc.

smplayer is/started as a frontend for mplayer, but it looks like you can set it to use mpv as its backend.
