I doubt that. MPV is not the same as mpv. Names are case sensitive as are file names.
mpv looks fine.
VLC: try to select vaapi from command line.
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD /usr/bin/vlc --avcodec-hw=vaapi videofile
you want to see a line that looks like this:
[00007fceecc04ed0] avcodec decoder: Using Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 25.3.4 () for hardware decoding
You can also try to use the older i965 driver instead the newer iHD
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 ....
I did install the correct mpv
My processor is 6th gen, I believe the driver is iHD, but I did try i965
~cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ‘model name’ | head -n 1 1
