Description

Adjusts display output through xrandr automatically when mpv starts playback, aiming for suitable screen parameters for the current video. It is useful for home-theater or projector setups where refresh rate and output mode matter.

Display automation can blank screens, change resolutions, or disrupt multi-monitor layouts if detection is wrong. Test with a recovery shortcut before relying on it for presentations or shared displays.
