I own a 2013 Clevo laptop. Running obsd as daily driver and
default/minimalist tools such as cwm, tmux, st, mpv, cmus &tc.
I have a dedicated partition mounted on /home/media for storing
multimedia files : music, movies, series &tc.
mpv is reluctant to correctly play videos if another process
is using the slightest amount of computer resources.
For instance at the moment I have only a tmux session inside
st running cp to put some music on an sd card. Yet the video
won't play, only audio, whereas if mpv is the only process
running I can enjoy my series without trouble.

What could go wrong ? I doubt that it would only be that my
computer isn't powerful enough. I have tried different --vo
arguments without success.
