mpv is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
These packages include support for the --sub-fonts-dir option,

apt-get -y install curl lsb-release && (cd "$(mktemp -d)" && dpkg -i $(curl -# -f -w '%{filename_effective}' -O https://www.fbriere.net/debian/fbriere-archive-keyring.deb)) && (cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d && curl -# -f -O https://www.fbriere.net/debian/sources/$(lsb_release -cs)/fbriere_mpv.sources) && apt-get update
To give these packages precedence over the official ones in Debian/Ubuntu

recommended that you install the fbriere-archive-pin-mpv package
also provided by this component.
