Second, it's a fallback. Nothing even plays and the warning displays
in red when specifying --vo=gpu :

$mpv --vo=gpu /home/media/E\ -\ Séries/Salem/Salem\

I mean that it does not change the behavior at all.
I was not aware that the default was overrun however,
and hadn't tried --vo=gpu.
The error above I got for the first time.
