Another great media player for those who prefer minimalist UI: https://mpv.io/. Includes yt-dlp integration and a much nicer terminal interface.

And much better keyboard control. It can also do interesting things such as run in 1:1 scaling mode (for example, 4K on a 1080p monitor) and then you can use your mouse to zoom in and out (wheel) and Ctrl+drag to pan around.

VLC walked so MPV could run.

mpv is a fork of mplayer, which preceded VLC by a year or two.

I like the CLI / scriptability of MPV so much better than VLC. Absolutely fantastic.
