I guess that is up to interpretation: ``` MPlayer/mpv failed to start. Please check the MPlayer/mpv path in preferences. ``` This is a little cryptic as it tells the user it is improperly configured, possibly implying the need for a standalone version of `mpv` or `mplayer`, rather than missing a package.
