+## What it is
+
+mpv is an open-source media player with almost no interface: a window with your video and a small on-screen controller. It's controlled from the keyboard, plays nearly every format, uses hardware decoding, and can be configured and scripted through plain text files and Lua. Given a URL, it can play online video through yt-dlp when that's installed.
+
+```
+mpv video.mkv
+```
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Fast and light.** It opens instantly and gets out of the way.
+- **Great from the terminal.** Play a file, a folder or a stream with one command.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+CoreDesktop installs mpv from pacman. Open it from the app grid, run `mpv` with a file, or drop a file on its window. `update` keeps it current with the rest of the pacman packages.
